Stone

Finbar Hawkins

£8.99

On the day of his dad’s funeral, Sam finds a strange, black stone which he senses has supernatural power. But that is just the beginning. Stowed in his pocket, the stone increases Sam’s strength and speed at a single touch. And he starts seeing things: two girls dancing, a lone figure on a hilltop summoning ravens, walking with wolves – and his dad too. Could this small, black stone really help bring back his dad?
