The Strange Treasures of Gramma Zulov Alex Ross Carol

Willie uncovers an ancient wheel in the bottom of Gramma's trunk of strange things, and what he discovers will change his life forever. Quickly, he finds the device fascinating and alluring. Then, tragedy strikes the family. Willie -- now a young man -- finds that the power of the wheel can be either a blessing or a curse. The Wheel of the Han comes down from the legends of the Han Dynasty in China, practiced some two thousand years ago. Once spun, the wheel yields numbers that offer its spinner either fame and fortune or sadness and ruin. They don't know their fate lies elsewhere until it is too late. Ridding himself and the family of the round talisman, Willie finds it won't disappear so easily, and he quickly becomes embroiled in an international incident involving the wheel - one that threatens peace between nations as well as that in the Middle East.
