Playing with friends at war and brandishing a wooden sword, fifth grader Zhenya Ushakov could not even imagine what amazing events lay ahead of him. Miraculously, the boy finds himself on the hidden island of Dvid, where "the eternal balance of order" reigns. This order is maintained by the Iron Lizard living in the lake. The monster immediately destroys all those who disagree and disobedient. And so Zhenya becomes a savior knight who must fight evil. Yes, but you should not take on such a task alone!
There are many amazing events in the fascinating and instructive story-tale by Vladislav Krapivin, but the most important miracle is true friendship, nobility and a sense of duty. It is these qualities that turn ordinary boys into real heroes.
