This stone might be embedded in the hilt of a newly discovered sword that archeologists believe belonged to King Arthur: Excalibur. However, their long-standing enemy, Dr. Khalid, is following them as they travel to Scotland to investigate an old castle. Little do they know there is another deadly force, the Eaters of Poison, who have their own mission to complete. Time is running out as the confluence of the planets draws closer. Can Justin and Adam find the second Stone of Power and survive? And why did Aunt Isabel send a girl with them?

About the Author
Ingram, Fiona: - Fiona Ingram's earliest story-telling talents came to the fore when, from the age of ten, she entertained her three younger brothers and their friends with serialised tales of children undertaking dangerous and exciting exploits, which they survived through courage and ingenuity. Haunted houses, vampires, and skeletons leaping out of coffins were hot favourites in the cast of characters. Although Fiona Ingram has been involved in the theatre and journalism, writing a children's book--The Secret of the Sacred Scarab--was an unexpected step, inspired by a family trip to Egypt. The tale of the sacred scarab began life as a little anecdotal tale for her two nephews (then 10 and 12), who had accompanied her on the Egyptian trip. This short story grew into a children's book, the first in the adventure series Chronicles of the Stone. The second book in the series--The Search for the Stone of Excalibur--a huge treat for young King Arthur fans, is now available with Book 3, The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper, on the way. Although Fiona Ingram does not have children of her own, she has an adopted daughter, from an underprivileged background who has discovered the joys of reading for pleasure. Naturally, Fiona is a voracious reader and has been from early childhood. Her interests include literature, art, theatre, collecting antiques, animals, music, and films. She loves travel and has been fortunate to have lived in Europe (while studying) and America (for work). She has travelled widely and fulfilled many of her travel goals. *Book Award Nominations & Wins: *Finalist Children's Fiction USA Next Generation 2009 Indie Book Awards *Finalist Juvenile Fiction USA National Best Books 2009 Awards *Winner Pre-Teen USA 2009 Readers' Favorites Awards *Number 2 in the USA Children's & Teens Book Connection Top Ten Favourite Books of 2009 for Kids, Tweens & Teens *Winner Silver Medal Teen Fiction 2010 Nautilus Book Awards *Finalist Children's Fiction 2010 International Book Awards *Winner Bronze Medal Pre-Teen Fiction 2010 Moonbeam Book Awards *Finalist 2011 Rubery Book Awards *Winner Gold Award Mystery Pre-Teen 2011 Children's Literary Classics Awards *2nd Place in the 2011 YA Sharpwrit Book Awards * Gold Medal 2013 Wise Bear Book Awards

Girls will enjoy this book as well. A byproduct of this book may spark an interest in Egyptian culture and history and what a better way for kids to spend time than learning. Great book!" —Mindy Detweiler for Review the Book

Author Bio:

Fiona Ingram was born and educated in South Africa. Her interest in ancient history, mysteries, and legends, combined with her love of travel, has resulted in this award-winning first volume of her exciting children's adventure series, The Chronicles of the Stone.

Join these young heroes on an adventure steeped in the mythology and legends of the ancient Aztec and Maya Continuing their thrilling adventures, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle.

When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. River rafting on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task.

Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the worst of their problems. This time Adam will clash with a terrible enemy who adopts the persona of an evil Aztec god, Tezcatlipoca, and is keen to revive the ancient tradition of human sacrifice. Adam, Justin, and Tukum must play a dreadful ball game of life and death and maybe survive. Will they emerge alive from the jungle? Will Dr. Khalid find the third Stone of Power before they do?

A boy in a helmet.

A girl in a mask.

One fateful night, each becomes the other's worst enemy.

But they don't know that. Yet.

-

Kirt Morgana, the privileged son of a knight, is an utter disappointment. Inherently bad at everything his father values most, he's failed every test and squandered every chance. To his surprise, however, he's given a mission to retrieve his lord's lost property-a box, locked and guarded in a fortified tower. To Kirt's devastation, everything goes wrong...and he's the one to blame. Reeling from his failure, he begins a desperate quest to find the Time Warden. If the last magician is real, he can turn back time and give Kirt a second chance.

Lucia Durand, called Luke by everyone except her older brother, spends her lonely days guarding a tower. Whatever's inside doesn't seem worth protecting, since no one's ever paid attention to it...until now. Without warning, her castle is attacked, rekindling embers of a war long over. She succeeds in protecting the tower, but the invaders kill her brother, the only person she's ever cared about. Even more broken than before, she sets out for revenge, running away and risking everything she and her brother have worked for.

When their paths cross, Kirt and Luke realize they can both get what they want if they work together. Not knowing that each was the catalyst of the other's problems, they begin their journey across the kingdom. As the two form a bond of friendship, the truth of their entwined pasts bubbles closer and closer to the surface. But if they can find the Time Warden, maybe they can fix more than their own broken lives. Maybe they don't have to be enemies after all.

All Harry wants is to go about his normal routine and to be left alone, but instead a whiny dragon interrupts his tranquil life over breakfast. How can he shake this tearful dragon and get back to his peaceful life?

Though he's determined to ignore the baby dragon, Harry is faced with noisy--and hilarious--changes in his quiet home. Once he gets to know Piff, Harry comes to learn that life may be easier alone, but it's definitely better with a dragon.

What would you do if you could disappear? Tulip, a friendly troll seeking an adventure and still working on her disappearing act, is mostly invisible when she is discovered under a bridge by Bossy, a friendly cat who leads Tulip on a series of adventures, beginning in the chicken coop with an unwanted visitor and then to the Maywood Celebration where her singing helps her find Swede, her Troll Country friend who didn't know she had mostly disappeared in his rucksack.



Harry, the troll, has settled into a comfy routine with Piff, the tiny dragon, but life takes a turn for the worse when their egg for breakfast hatches, bringing much more than food to the table.

Having two dragons is more than Harry can handle as the duo finds ways to cause trouble in the troll's life. But when the dragons get lost, Harry realizes there is enough room in his heart for two.
