Roma Turbin is fourteen years old. Everything is heightened; the world is tested for falseness and fails, the unshakable crumbles, the familiar breaks, and the new is frightening. "Yes, Mom, I'm a sensor. A faulty touchscreen..."

Parents from whom understanding is unattainable. A friend with whom everything is complicated. Teachers making noise out of nothing. And her, the stranger from the trolleybus in an elfin hat with a bag that says "I'm not Pushkin." To find her, find himself, and survive the crisis, Roma will be helped by Ruslan and Lyudmila. But these are not Pushkin's heroes; they are Chilean squirrels from the pet store.
