Shishkin's Root

Fleeing from hooligans, colliding with an old lady, losing consciousness, and finding yourself in Nizhny Novgorod in 1896... Nothing terrible!

Or do you not? When the initial excitement wears off, the main character, eighth grader Seryozha Shishkin, gradually realizes that traveling to the past is not an entertaining stroll. How to earn money for food and where to live? What to do if you find out about a planned robbery? And who can you trust at all? And most importantly: how to get back home, where your mom and little sister are waiting for you?
