How do I build a robot? How do I make a million? How can I get my parents back together? If you could find the answer to every question you asked life would be easy, wouldn?t it? This is what Douglas Patterson believes when an alien gives him the gift of a Touchstone. At first Douglas is enthralled by the power and fun that knowing the answer to everything can bring, and uses his strange gift without really thinking. However, Douglas soon realises that answers aren?t everything and that being careful to ask the right questions is much more important.
