The only clue he has is a fossil, ‘the snake stone’ which she left behind along with a note on which she had written,‘Take good care of Sammie.’ It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.
The journey:Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness.
