I had a dream about this book when I was in middle school or high school. There were 7 or so sacred stones EJ and others were looking for, I think Pat went to some snowy forsaken land in search of one of them, a ruby maybe. I remember at some point I had a ruby and a yellow book in front of me that I knew as "The Great Adventures" or something. Then I find out this book exists. Why haven't I read it yet???
