Award-winning author Tanya Landman delivers an engaging quick-read for struggling teen readers as one man's cunning ruse transforms stone into soup.
Approaching a distant village on market day, a hungry man hopes to find food and a place to rest. But he's an unwelcome arrival and the villagers refuse to help. Armed with just a single bowl and a stone he found along the road, he must rely on his resourcefulness and quick wit.
Will the stranger be able to win the locals over with his cunning plan?
