Stone Bamboo

by Byron Lee Ray

Overview

A mysterious phone call beckons the Whipples to a family reunion in Stone, West Virginia but the long lost business tycoon has more in store than hospitality. Thirteen year-old Jason Whipple discovers that beyond the blinding luxury of his Uncle Roland's mansion hides the gutted industrial slum of a once great city and the sinister family secret behind it.

Befriended by Ruthie, who seems to be the only other child in this town of concrete, the two must face ancient evils, their own budding romance and most of all, discover why they seem to be the only two children left in town.
