Once you collect the coins on the other side, you’ll progress to the next level. If you can’t jump onto one, you’ll simply fall into water and lose a life. You’re the little figure that has to cross the screen to get to the money, by jumping from one vanishing platform to the other. After seeing the title screen I really thought it would be some thinking game connected with micromanagement or something similar, but instead… But how long can a runaway horse stay undiscovered in Paris? How long can a boy keep her hidden and all to himself? Jane Smiley's beguiling new novel is itself an adventure that celebrates curiosity, ingenuity, and the desire of all creatures for true love and freedom.Why ever did they name this game Perestroika, I'll never know. As the cold weather and Christmas near, the unlikeliest of friendships bloom. But then Paras meets a human boy, Etienne, and discovers a new, otherworldly part of Paris: the ivy-walled house where the boy and his nearly-one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother live in seclusion. They keep company with two irrepressible ducks and an opinionated raven. Paras and Frida coexist for a time in the city's lush green spaces, nourished by Frida's strategic trips to the vegetable market. Soon she meets an elegant dog, a German shorthair pointer named Frida, who knows how to get by without attracting the attention of suspicious Parisians. She's dazzled and often mystified by the sights, sounds, and smells around her, but she isn't afraid.

One afternoon at dusk, she finds the door of her stall open and-she's a curious filly-wanders all the way to the City of Light. Paras, short for 'Perestroika,' is a spirited racehorse at a racetrack west of Paris. From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres and the New York Times best-selling Last Hundred Years Trilogy, a captivating, brilliantly imaginative story of three extraordinary animals-and a young boy-whose lives intersect in Paris
