A fifteen-year-old boy, Michel Santanrea, spins a coin to decide his future. It takes him from the quay in Marseilles to the great rainforests of the Ivory Coast.
 
On the quayside of Marseilles, fifteen-year-old Michel Santanrea, alone in the world, decides on the spin of a coin that he will sail to Africa; and there, in the loneliness of the great rainforests of the Ivory Coast, he finds his future and learns how strangely the wind of chance has blown for him.
 
This is a powerful and memorable story which, like all Rene Guillot's books, is something more than a mere tale of adventure.
