Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Nathan and his sister Lennie are on holiday in Greece with their parents. Nathan finds a small Colossus figure, which legends tell him is made from the melted-down metal of the great Colossus of Rhodes. He feels it brings him luck. When he subsequently loses it, he is bereft, but a local boy he meets, Stefan, helps him to find it again. Stefan then encourages him to complete a series of daring feats, including an epic swim across the harbour. Although Nathan doesn't know it, Stefan
is putting him through three mythical tests. The blend of mythology and adventure leads to an uplifting ending, with the overall message that we can all make our own luck.
