Eduard Verkin is a modern writer, multiple laureate of the Cherished Dream literary prize, laureate of the Kniguru competition, winner of the competition named after. S. Mikhalkova and one of the brightest modern authors for teenagers. His books are unusual, although they seem to tell about everyday life. They shock and overturn the usual picture of the world both by the story itself, which is always masterfully conveyed, and by what is left behind the scenes. “The Crow Biteer” is a classic “road story”, the adventures of teenagers while traveling along the Golden Ring. And although the novel is extremely, sometimes to the point of absurdity, realistic, it also contains something that takes the narrative beyond the bounds of reality. But above all, this is high-quality prose. The journey begins. A bus with tourists rushes along the roads of the Golden Ring of Russia. On board are young athletes, artists and musicians, winners of competitions and Olympiads, children from good families. Ahead are the sun, the wind, hopes and... a small incident that will show who they really are. The novel “The Crow Biter” is being published for the first time.
