Brand new softcover book! ; Sixteen-year-old Tag can't believe he's in this much trouble. He's not actually a member of the gang known as the Primes -- all he did was spray paint some graffiti that caught their attention. In all honesty, ever since his dad and brother left, Tag just wants to be alone. And it's certainly not his fault that the Primes nearly beat up his goofy cousin, Ethan. But his mom is furious about these gang-related activities and insists that Tag spend the whole summer at his grandpa's lakeside cabin, which is not Tag's idea of a good time. So he does what any self-respecting teenager would do: run away. But he doesn't ge far before he encounters three strange men carrying an even stranger object -- a stone that glows with radiant light as bright as a thousand sparks.
