You're leaving. You're leaving quickly. Everyone leaves Gullywith quickly. You'll see.
No one has lived in Gullywith for years, and when Olly's family moves to the farm, the boy can't imagine how he could be happy there. The place seems haunted—the roof collapses, the walls crumble, and no amount of repairs can keep the house in good condition. Strangest of all, however, are the small stones that appear in inexplicable places...
And these little rocks aren't ordinary. They have curious markings and seem to move around the house on their own. Even though he knows this doesn't make sense, Olly thinks they're angry for some reason.
The only person in the village brave enough to approach the farm is KK, a girl who lives nearby. Her strange mannerisms and incomprehensible answers intrigue Oliver, but KK seems to understand something about the mystery surrounding her new home. The girl introduces Olly to Nonny Dreever, an enigmatic man who lives in the forest and reveals the secret to calming the stones: they must return them to their place of origin, Lake Whithern.
Will Olly and KK be up to the challenge? The rocks don't seem willing to give up Gullywith... With the help of bats, owls, and a team of brave turtles to protect him, Olly will have to face an army of rocks and their powerful king. And before he knows it, the boy will find himself in a fantastical world of myth, magic, and adventure deep within the hills of Gullywith.
A fascinating story of magic, myth, and dawn adventure, The Battle for Gullywith will delight all readers.
