The long-awaited new book by the author of the novella "In Search of the Boy God" - and on its pages again, the North.
Petya is twelve years old; six months ago, he didn't even know about the sport called Russian...
hockey. When he and his classmates try to gather a team in an abandoned village on the shore of the cold ocean, difficulties are not long in coming: the place is unsuitable, nobody knows how to stand on skates, and no one has any gear... Soon there will be a championship for which no one on the team is prepared. But Petya and his friends believe that anything is possible if you pursue your goal. Moreover, they accidentally come into possession of a mysterious diary from the 19th century. They do not know who wrote it or how the diary ended up at the edge of the earth, but it seems to answer their questions, and it also tells about travels and their native places. But will it lead the team to victory?
