A science experiment gone wrong. A garden frozen in stone. A town on the brink of disaster.  

Jamie Collins has a knack for turning small mishaps into full-blown catastrophes, but his latest experiment has gone way beyond a messy bedroom. One moment, he's trying to supercharge plant growth; the next, his mum’s beloved garden has turned to solid concrete. Worse, the strange transformation is spreading—turning lawns, trees, and even pets into lifeless statues.  

As rumors of a "Stone Plague" shake the town, Jamie scrambles to find a cure before his mistake becomes permanent. But when science fails him, he discovers that sometimes the solution isn't found in a test tube—but in something far more unexpected.  

Fast-paced, funny, and full of heart, *The Concrete Garden* is a thrilling adventure about science, mistakes, and the unexpected power of taking responsibility. Perfect for readers who love mystery, mischief, and a touch of magic!
