The Stone of Destiny
by Jim Ware
Morgan Izaak is obsessed with his father's ancient books about the legendary Philosopher's Stone. When Morgan's best friend, Eny, tells him about another stone that may be hidden in their own town—the Irish Stone of Destiny—he's determined to find it. But Morgan's not the only one looking for the Stone, and by the time the two middle schoolers realize there's evil afoot, Morgan has betrayed his friendship, bad-tempered giants are loose in the land, and the Stone is lost…perhaps forever. This charming, fantastical tale about faith is the first of two volumes about the Stone of Destiny.
