Morgan Izaak is obsessed with his father#x19;s ancient books about the magical Philosopher#x19;s Stone. And since his mother has cancer, a little magic could be really useful-although she would prefer to trust her doctors and pray. When Morgan#x19;s best friend, Eny, tells him about another magic stone that may be hidden in their own town-the Irish Stone of Destiny-he#x19;s determined to find it. But Morgan#x19;s not the only one looking for the Stone, and by the time the two middle schoolers realize there#x19;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.
