Bookroo's summary
In Bailey City, the library's sixth gargoyle has vanished, and the new bus driver, Mr. Stone, bears an uncanny resemblance to the missing statue. As the Bailey School kids delve into this mystery, they must uncover whether Mr. Stone is just an ordinary driver or something far more mystical. With each clue, the line between reality and imagination blurs, leaving them to question: could a gargoyle truly come to life? The stakes rise as they race to solve the mystery before the truth is set in stone.
From the publisher
The Bailey City Library is in an old, gothic building with six large gargoyles perched on the roof. At least, there used to be six. Now there are only five . . . and the new bus driver, Mr. Stone, looks exactly like one of the statues! Could Mr. Stone be a living gargoyle?
