Description

Eleven-year-old Nolitye's granny used to say: if you mess with a woman, you mess with a stone.

When Nolitye finds a magical stone on the dusty streets of Phola, her granny's words take on a new meaning.

Along with her two friend - the somewhat pampered Bheki, and Four Eyes, a reformed member of the Spoilers gang led by Rotten Nellie - Nolitye puts the powers of the stone to good use: for the first time the threesome can stand up to the Spoilers; Nolitye can save the life of Rex, the leader of a pack of talking township mutts; and dare to look scary MaMtonga with her living brown-and-green snake necklace in the eye.

But soon Nolitye finds out that the purplish-blue magic stone is but five stones needed to put right things that started to go wrong the day her father died in a mining accident when she was five years old. Or so she was told by her mother... By merging a cast of characters straight out of African myth folklore with everyday township life, K.

Sello Duiker created a magical world and a truly wondrous quest, a timeless tale that will appeal to an ageless audience.
