Synopsis

When Pearce and Andy go on a school trip to London, they don't expect to find the most famous musician in ancient Greece busking in a tube station. And their plans for the day certainly don't include joining him on a journey into the underworld. But the best laid plans don't always work out -- it's going to be a hell of a day!

Is Stone Me! appropriate for my child?

Suitable for most readers 10 and up.

A lighthearted fantasy adventure where two schoolboys meet a legendary Greek musician and journey into the underworld. Expect mild peril typical of middle grade mythology-inspired stories, humor, and mythological creatures, but nothing graphic or frightening.

What to know going in
