Riddle me this: A gnome suddenly appears.with a proposition for a young boy — "Help me and I'll cure your curse."Twelve-year-old Tom lives alone on an island in the middle of a river. Nobody dares approach him because the boy is cursed — he brings bad luck to anyone around him. One day an odd little man — a gnome, perhaps — comes to see Tom, ignoring the boy's warnings to keep his distance. The hot-tempered, shifty gnome makes an astounding offer: He'll rid the boy of his hex, if the boy will embark on a mission for him. If Tom agrees will it really mean the end of his lonely existence?
