Product Description

Product Description

‘Anything you want to know, you hold the stone, ask me, and I will give you the answer’ Douglas is not the sort of boy to panic when something out of the ordinary happens. But when he meets a native of the planet Vangar whose arm has dropped off and needs his help, and who is being hunted by the Guardians of the Federation, well, even Douglas finds things a bit of a strain…

5.0 out of 5 stars ny favourite norriss book, 17 Nov 2008
This is my favourite of Andrew Norriss's books because I love the idea of a Univeral Librarian with the answer to every question - and that you have to be careful what you ask for... Great humour and adventure as well as being a thought provoking read.
You know an author is good when once you read one of Andrew Norriss's books you have to read them all.
