Notes

317 p. Someone has to save the world and that someone is Daisy Malone. It's Daisy's 12th birthday but she's got more earth-shattering things on her mind. Her mother is missing and she and her dog Ben (a highly intelligent, talking dog -- his words!) have just found a mysterious blue glowing stone in the attic. But two shady characters are also searching for the stone and, soon, Daisy and Ben are fleeing to Gloomy Gulch, the archaeological site where Daisy's mother has vanished on a dig. But what they find is not what they expect!
