Review by Dave Jenkinson.
Starting with a known fact, Oberman creates both an appealing young character and a believable story to explain how that fact might have come to be. Among the quarter million dark fieldstones used to construct the half-mile wall surrounding Toronto's Castle Loma, there is but one white stone. Since the wall was built under the direct supervision of the castle's owner, Sir Henry Pellatt, this odd rock could only have been used with Sir Henry's knowledge. Oberman suggests one scenario that might have led to Sir Henry's accepting such an unsuitable stone.
John Tommy Fiddich, a lad from Toronto's poorest area, vacillates between characterizing himself as the ``luckiest" and ``unluckiest boy of all." After hail destroys his flourishing vegetable garden, John is left with only a ``dirty, worthless stone," but his fortune appears to change when he learns that Sir Henry is paying a silver dollar for every dull-coloured stone delivered to the building site. Loading the previously worthless rock aboard his cart, John makes the arduous trip to the castle's hilltop location. Along the way, however, rain washes the stone's surface exposing its bright white exterior. With his stone rejected, a disheartened John shares his tale of misfortune with the castle's gardener. John becomes ``the luckiest boy of all" when the ``gardener" reveals his true identity and purchases the stone because ``your work has made it worth a lot to me."

Description
  • Every society around the world includes storytelling in its cultural traditions. Each of us has stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. Your own family stories include: true-to-life characters, heartwarming events, surprising twists of plot and probably some comic mishaps. Your family story may not make the best-seller list, but it represents a legacy that will be enjoyed by you and your family now, and for many generations to come. These stories celebrate family traditions and help us understand the differences, and appreciate the similarities, of legacies that we all can share.
