But this is a childrenâs fantasy adventure story with a difference because one of the heroes, Tommy, is confined to a wheelchair following a terrible accident.The story begins when Tommy is sent a magical stone from his Uncle Bill who is on an expedition in the Brazilian Rain Forest. Bill was given the stone by a village chieftain after he saved his sonâs life. He was told that the stone had magical powers so he sent it to Tommy for his stone collection.But it turned out to be much more âvaluableâ than for inclusion in the stone collection for, a couple of days later, Tommyâs father, who is the manager of the local bank, is kidnapped by robbers when they realise that the alarm system has been set and they have to wait until Monday when it would allow the vault to be opened.When Tommy and Smithy decide to try to track the robbers down the real power of the magic stone is revealed. This power is that when Tommy thinks of something the stone makes it happen so the robbers are in for some real surprises as Tommy's wheelchair develops some very unusual and effective weapons and powers. So, with the help of Smithyâs cat, Tiger, who more than lives up to his name, the robbers are taught a lesson they certainly donât expect.This is an exuberant and exciting childrenâs adventure that will appeal to young and old alike.
