It's about a boy called Hagurosan who has to deliver a cake that his mother made to the Holy Mountain. On the way there, Hagurosan starts to eat the cake and eventually there are only crumbs left. When he arrives at the Holy Mountain he starts to pray, then as he walks towards the exit he finds a coin. He picks it up and puts it at the feet of one of the statues. Then he finds another coin, so he does the same again. And again. And again. Hagurosan is cursed! Hagurosan's father tries to take hom home but he can't. Hagurosan is still there many years later and has found thousands of coins.

The book continues, but I don't want to spoil the rest for you as it is such an exciting story. I recommend this book to the people who love Darren Shan and his books.
