Having stolen from the Antiquities Shop, George finds himself in a magical, but very unpleasant story□—the box he stole is being hunted by some suspicious individuals, and, even worse, the man sitting on the box suddenly comes to life. Although the little man offers the boy an interesting game in which the prize will be treasure, his words sound ominous. What should you do if you are only eleven years old, your father is kind but not rich, and you are angry with him, and at the same time with fate, which did not make you the son of a millionaire or a king? For this fairy-tale novel for children, I received an honorary diploma from the 2nd International Competition of Children's and Youth Literature named after Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy (2007).
