  “Going for Stone is the story of a runaway teenager who tries his hand at making a living as living statue. He's got a natural talent for it, and gets recruited by a suspicious secret, secluded training camp.
  
  It is a very original, tense read, creepy and thrilling in equal parts. The back cover seems to suggest something supernatural might be going on, but the book itself is quite different from what is being implied on the cover. Parts of it feel like Lord of the Flies, others like Otfried Preußler's Krabat. In the end, it is a very good read, with hardly a flaw. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it. ”
