1. The Stone Summons by M. J. Sak.Book 1 of 3: The Stone Summons
Alex, Sandy and Lexie discover why time flies, and do something about it with the aid of modern technology, maths and geography lessons, ancient wisdom and knowledge. They are summoned, because of powers of which they are not yet aware, to help in the fight of a threat against the world by the Darksiders. As they live far apart, they meet initially via the Internet, and their mobile phones, but more supernatural meetings also take place. They explore their own powers and the powers of nature, and utilise both in their efforts against the Darksiders, efforts which are directed by other, older Light-Bringers, one of whom acts as their ‘guardian angel’.
2. The Return of the Stone: Alex, Sandy and Lexie meet (in real time) in Malaysia. They think they have been summoned, but don't know why.

Even after an event that seems to have been the reason, they still don't understand the importance of the event……..
