Overview

Patryk tiene doce años y no ha visto mucho mundo más allá de su pueblo, en Polonia, ocupado por los rusos. Allí nunca pasa nada..., hasta el día que los alemanes lanzan una bomba a la escuela y estalla la Gran Guerra. Mientras el control del pueblo pasa de manos de una nación a otra y los soldados extranjeros llegan y se marchan, uno de los siete amigos del grupo, el insensible y competitivo Jurek, propone un peligroso desafío: el que robe el botón más valioso de un uniforme militar se convertirá en el rey. La nueva y esperada novela del autor de Ciudad de huérfanos y Las verdaderas confesiones de Charlotte Doyle.

Patryk is twelve years old and doesn’t know much about the world beyond his Russian-occupied hometown in Poland. Nothing ever happens there—until the Germans bomb their school and the Great War begins. While control of the village is handed off from one nation to another and foreign soldiers arrive and march through, one of the seven friends in the group offers a dangerous challenge. The reckless and competitive Jurek announces that whoever steals the most valuable button from a military uniform will become king.
