The Snake-stone (Paperback, Reissue)

An evocative story, this is reissued with a new jacket. James has always known he was adopted, but one day his curiosity about his real mother overwhelms him and he starts on a long journey in search of the truth. The details unfold in a cracking detective story. (Kirkus UK)

Do you ever think about being born? No, I don't either. But what do I think about is this – did my mother want me?

James' parents are proud of his talent and determination – he's in training for the junior National Diving Championship. For James, diving is everything. Until he looks at the snake-stone and is drawn into thinking about his birth mother, and where she might be. He knows that to work out his future, he needs to make sense of his past.

Embarking on a quest to find out who he really is, James sets off on a journey which brings him back to his true home.
