Reading Planet - The Smiling Stones - Level 5: Fiction (Mars) Synopsis

Nothing ever happens in the sleepy village of Bani Rashid, which is why Jamal is so excited when an explorer from Europe takes an interest in his home town. At first, Jamal tries to impress Mr Moneta - until it becomes clear that this visitor wants to do more than just admire the statues that Jamal sits beneath and tells his secrets to. Jamal realises that he needs to prevent Moneta from taking the Smiling Stones away ... and from discovering an amazing lost chamber of riches hidden beneath Bani Rashid.
