Plot summaryTold from the perspective of Captain Randall Ethan Hope, the crew of the Rita Anne finds a strange, glowing, cubic stone on an exotic island. After taking the strange object aboard their ship, the crew becomes obsessed with the stone, abandoning many of their former interests and leaving the captain wondering how to shake the crew out of their stupor. Gradually, the glowing stone turns the entire crew (except the captain) into grinning apes. It is told in a 'journal' format, as it takes place over the course of May 8 to July 12 of an unspecified year.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Teacher's Guide for The Wretched Stone by Chris Van Allsburg|url=http://www.hmhbooks.com/features/thepolarexpress/tg/stone.shtml|publisher=Houghton Mifflin Company|accessdate=November 18, 2011}} External links
