Patryk tiene doce a�os y no ha visto mucho mundo m�s all� de su pueblo, en Polonia, ocupado por los rusos. All� nunca pasa nada..., hasta el d�a que los alemanes lanzan una bomba a la escuela y estalla la Gran Guerra. Mientras el control del pueblo pasa de manos de una naci�n 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 desaf�o: el que robe el bot�n m�s valioso de un uniforme militar se convertir� en el rey. La nueva y esperada novela del autor de Ciudad de hu�rfanos 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.
