Max Shadurин and his sisters Asya and Masha were stunned when they arrived at their grandfather in the seaside village of Abrikosovka. Instead of the chicken-foot hut he had built—after selling their city apartment—they found a luxurious mansion. Where did such money come from?
It turned out their grandfather had called them there to ceremonially hand over a bronze cup found on the shore—supposedly it saved his life and brought him wealth. Now Grandfather wants the cup to bring luck to his beloved grandchildren: Max, who has recently been fatally unlucky at tennis; Asya, who has become stuck in housework and raising her newborn; and Masha, who dreams of getting a grant to study in the USA…
Grandfather had always been known as an eccentric, and no one took his gift seriously. But Max was the first to make a request to the cup… and won a tournament. Is there really a mystical power hidden in this trinket?
