Thirteen-year-old Danny Levan is a bullied, half-Jewish boy in 1938 Surrey when he discovers
strangely colored bits of plaster that can reform into what can only be described as his own
protective time-traveling golem.
A pack of chips was constantly pursuing and reuniting with the giant, but moonlight
glinted off of one largish piece that seemed in danger of being left behind, lodged in a
groove between cobblestones.
“Wait,” Danny called out soFTLy and although the
creature was obviously too far off to hear, and lacked ears besides, it immediately
paused long enough for the chip to free itself and join the others.
