The snake stone
The Snake Stone
Plot:
James is a 15 year old boy, who is very fond of diving and really good at it. He's adopted. He doesn't know anything about his Past. And the only
few things he's got from when he was a baby are in an small box. He was
never interested very much in those things. But then, one day he looked at
them.
There were some clothes and a small piece of paper. On it was a message
"Look after Sammy" stood there. He was a bit confused, because his name is
James. But suddenly he recognised, that Sammy had to be the name his mother
called him (that's because James' real father has this name). On the other
side of the note he could see a few letters which belong to an address. Also in
the box was a stone which looked like a snake.
He took those two things out
of the box. James found out, which address the letters of the Sammy-note
show. In Half-Term he decided to go there. But he didn't want to tell his
parents, the Logans. They thought that he was going to London to train for an
important diving-competition with Ken Eldred. But he went to Holygate.
But
there he didn't find his mother. He just found the place where his mother
gave him away. And he also found Mrs. Ellie Champion. She told him
everything what she knows about how he was found. In fact she was the person
who found the baby in the mailbox.
James decided to went over Horsenose Tor to look for his mother. The first
part of the way Clair went with him. Clair is the daughter of Frances, who
is the daughter of Mrs. Champion. When James reached the other village he was
very tiered and was near giving up. He sat on a bridge thinking about what
he should do.
And there he saw a little girl who was jumping into the water.
She was very good at it and so James told her a special jump. Suddenly her
mother came. As she saw the Snake-stone, which James has with him she knew,
that this was her son and James also knew, that this was his mother! She
just asked if he's happy and went away. James drove back home and knew from
there on where he belongs to..
.to the Logans!
