Francho pasa el verano con Mykola, un chico de su edad al que no conoce de nada. Sólo sabe que es checheno, que viene de un orfanato y que no sabe hablar español. Pronto, el extranjero se integra al grupo de amigos y amigas. Mykola lleva en el cuello un colgante (un dragón rojo) que brilla mucho. Una noche Francho no pudo resistir arrancárselo. Allí empezó a ir todo al revés. Menos mal que entre todos los amigos discurren cómo solucionar el lío. Si lees este libro, sabrás por qué a Mykola se le encogen las piernas, por qué Francho debe arreglárselas para hablar español, qué pasa una noche de luna llena en la cueva del ortigar, cómo luchan unos tales Brutenio y Violinio... 

 

 

Francho spends the summer with Mykola, a boy his age whom he has never met. He only knows that he is Chechen, that he comes from an orphanage and that he cannot speak Spanish. Soon, the foreigner joins the group of friends. Mykola wears a pendant (a red dragon) around her neck that shines a lot. One night Francho couldn't resist ripping it off. There he began to go backwards. Luckily, among all the friends they discuss how to solve the mess. If you read this book, you will know why Mykola's legs shrink, why Francho must manage to speak Spanish, what happens on a full moon night in the cave of the ortigar, how Brutenio and Violinio fight...
