For Seryozha Shishkin, an eighth-grader researching a local history project, this bizarre scenario becomes reality. He thought his detailed knowledge of the city's central streets and the route of Russia's first electric tram would give him an edge. But a journey to the past is far from a simple sightseeing tour.
As the initial excitement fades, Seryozha faces real challenges. How will he earn money for food and find a place to live? What will he do when he uncovers a planned robbery?
