J. David Martin, EdD, a former member of the Henry County Board of Supervisors and Henry County school superintendent, will discuss his new book, “A Fairy Stone Adventure,” at a Meet the Author event at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Henry County Administration Building, 3300 Kings Mountain Road, Martinsville.
The story follows Karen, who discovers the legend of fairy stones while spending the summer at her grandparents’ home. With help from Pete, a friendly cat from the local country store, she sets out to find the mystical stones, believed to bring good luck. Along the way, Karen and Pete explore scenic landscapes, face surprises and challenges, and learn lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and the joy of exploration.
Fairy Stone State Park, the real-life home of these unique stones, provides inspiration for young readers to embark on their own adventures. The legend, said to have been carried by historical figures, adds to the intrigue of Karen’s quest. “Fairy stones are more than just beautiful rocks; they symbolize hope and friendship,” Martin said.
“A Fairy Stone Adventure” is aimed at elementary and middle school readers and celebrates friendship, exploration, and the magic of nature. The book is available online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
