Skipping Stones at the Center of Earth
- Price
- $8.99
Twelve-year-old Cal Cobble lives at Hidden Shores Orphanage on Robert, a forgotten island at the very center of the earth, where sunlight meets an ever-present Shadow hiding a prison for dangerous criminals. Bullied for his flaming red hair and haunted by questions about the father he's never met, Cal befriends the enigmatic lawn-mowing stone-skipper Mr. Englewood. Together they uncover the truth about Cal's past and set out on a daring journey through the darkness to find his dad.
- A wildly imaginative premise: a giant golden screw unscrewed to reveal that Earth's core is a hidden island city.
- Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl—the dedication itself nods to Matilda, Charlie, and James.
- A tender father-son story wrapped in a fantastical adventure about taking control of your life.
- Tackles bullying and feeling powerless in a way kids will recognize and cheer.
“Where he lived? It was, indeed, out of his control. How he felt and how he lived? He got to decide those things.”
Perfect for a 9-12 year old who loves Roald Dahl and imaginative, slightly absurd adventures about misfit kids finding courage.
