her away to another foster home. Why did this always happen to her? Since the accidental death of her parents, nobody wanted Gabriella. This was her first real home. Gabriella loved Stone Castle and all the weird things that went on inside it, so why couldn’t the Old Potter’s Law Firm just leave her alone? A small tear fell down onto Gabriella’s cheek.
Dear Gabriella,
    The Old Potter’s Law Firm is pleased to inform you of the successful application for adoption made by: Mr & Mrs Pilkington of Stone Castle.
    You are now their legally adopted daughter. You will now be known as: Miss Gabriella Pilkington of Stone Castle.
    Signed
    The Old Potter’s Law Firm
    â€˜Yippee! I never ever want to leave Stone Castle,’ Gabriella said. She cuddled Edwina with excitement as the tears ran down both the girls’ cheeks.
    It was time for celebrations all round, so they cut the birthday cake. Suddenly, another unexpected guest flew in. It was Elka. Elka whinnied a ‘happy birthday’ to Edwina and everybody joined in with the singing. They could even be heard down in Rainbow City.
    It was definitely celebrations in Stone Castle. Edwina had finally got her wish to go to Professor Frogsley’s School of Computer Magic for the summer. Gabriella had finally found a new family and Thirty-four was busy eating birthday cake.
    And what happened to Gorum and his gargoyles? Well, they were back where they belonged on the Planet Darktess with the Keeper of the Blue Stones watching over them.





'T he pilot of Hum Bug Helicopters, Mr Fumblefingers, which is not a good name for a pilot, opened the door, ready for Edwina. ‘Bye everybody,’ Edwina said, ‘take care of Thirty-four for me, Gabriella, and I promise to write every day for the next three weeks.’
    â€˜It’s time to leave, Edwina,’ Mr Fumblefingers said. ‘Climb aboard and fasten your seatbelt. We have one more passenger to pick up on our way to Professor Frogsley’s School of Computer Magic.’
    Edwina took one last look back as the helicopter flew further and further away from Stone Castle.
    â€˜How long will it take us to arrive at the Computer School Of Magic, Mr Fumblefingers?’
    â€˜We should be there in about four hours.’
    Edwina sat back and started writing in her witches diary.
    Two hours into the trip, Mr Fumblefingers said, ‘Looks like our next passenger is waiting. We had better go down and pick the young lad up.’
    After stopping and picking up the young lad, Mr Fumblefingers flew the Hum Bug Helicopter (that looked like a big, black bug) high above the snow white clouds towards Professor Frogsley’s School of Computer Magic.
    â€˜Hi,’ said a nervous little boy with oversized, black glasses that sat right on the end of his short nose. Edwina looked up from writing in her little black book and smiled at the boy with the bright orange hair and lots of freckles.
    â€˜My name is Zackary Ernest Hemmingway the Third, but you can call me Zack.’
    â€˜Why are you going to Professor Frogsley’s school when it’s only for witches?’
    â€˜My magic comes in the way of a computer disk,’ Zack said as he held his disks up with pride. ‘I’m known as a computer whiz.’
    â€˜You kids all right back there?’ Mr Fumblefingers asked.
    â€˜We sure are, Mr Fumblefingers,’ Zack said.
    Mr Fumblefingers nodded his head in reply and placed his headphones on so he could listen to the weather report.
    â€˜Would you like a piece of my purple bubble gum?’ Zack asked Edwina.
    â€˜No thanks,’ replied Edwina as she looked up at him. Zack began to blow some small bubbles with his gum. He then started to blow harder and harder, trying to make the bubbles larger. Suddenly, the bubble gum popped out of his mouth and stuck firmly to the window of the helicopter. He tried to pull it off the window, only to have it stick to his thumb. Then his
