This charming story about a damaged house brick, not fit to be cemented into a wall, is a delight to read. The author has an instinctive ability as a story-teller for children, and has entered into the childs point of view very well. He has infused a huge amount of drama and charm into this simple story. The author clearly has a sense of humour, which comes out in his characterisation. Of all the inanimate objects, a brick is probably the hardest to make appealing and characterful. However, he has managed it to beautiful effect.

Tristan Jones is a troubled, frustrated boy who has to battle with his own personal demons. He is sent to a traditional boarding school in South Africa, where he has to live without the loving influence of his mother. He soon finds that he is bullied and victimized by ghastly forces of evil. At the same time he is empowered by supernatural witch doctors to fight for good against the chilling nightmarish forces that haunt him. With his girlfriend, Storm, and outlandish pal, Bongani, Tristan is grabbed by the throat and yanked along for a hell of a scary spellbinding ride with all the compulsion of a thriller set in the hostile wilds of Africa. With chance meetings with man-eating sharks, charging rhinos, and lightning storms that flay the parched earth, Tristans story is so surprising and strange that it leaps into an enchanting realm of its own. Encounters with chilling ghosts, the mysterious Kruger Millions, thrilling legends, hideous Egyptian cobras, dark monsters, and slavering wild dogs make for a spellbinding read from first page to last.
