Now Louis Sachar is a well-known children's writer, winner of the National Book Award in the United States (National Book Award) and winner of the John Newbery Medal in Children's literature. Could he have imagined such a development when he was studying at the Faculty of Economics, and then at the faculty of law? But at the same time, Sashar happened to teach at an elementary school. Working with children made a great impression on him and served as an impetus for writing books.To prove to the boys that he is as cool as they are, David goes with them to a lonely old woman, Mrs. Bayfield, and helps steal her cane. The very next day, he begins to get into trouble. Was it just a coincidence, or was it Mrs. Bayfield's terrible curse?For middle and high school age.
