A modern day fairy-tale for people of all ages from 6 upwards. When Stefan digs up a mysterious amber stone on a deserted beach he releases the powerful forces of the hideous sand witches. Their mission, to appear as beautiful young women, infiltrate society and live long and happy lives supported by wealthy businessmen who have no idea what they actually are. However, to keep the illusion going involves eating children. Being mistaken for trolls doesn't help, and Stefan and his friends meet the awful Sandman and are captured by the witches. The gem dragged them into this, but can it get them out again, or will they become supper rather than getting home in time for it?
