The Adventures of Misha Pisha

Misha Brillantmont is nine years old, lives in a tower above the river in Belgrade, and notices things most people walk straight past. He plays chess, builds worlds in Minecraft, and cannot leave a puzzle alone.

His father Max spent a career doing things he still won’t fully explain. His mother Yulia plays concert halls. Neither of them solves Misha’s mysteries for him — that is rather the point.

Every book takes Misha to a different city, and every one asks the same question: what happens when the only person who spots the pattern is a child, and nobody thinks to ask him?
