Publisher's Synopsis
In Budapest at the turn of the 20th century, the boys of Paul Street, led by the wise and brave Boka, are unwilling to allow the fearsome Botanical Gardens Gang to take over their playground. The fight for the land becomes a noble game of war governed by strategy, honor, and camaraderie. One of the most famous Hungarian novels in the world, this story about a group of young boys defending their territory has been translated into many languages and gone on to become required reading in many schools' curricula.
