Full of action, this book will engage young readers who are interested in the popular theme of our world interacting with the world of magic and fantasy.
The author's descriptive skills, and the fast paced story, carry the reader along and holds their attention.
The heroine, Rose, is brave and inspirational as she embarks on her
adventures. The background of Irish folklore adds interest to the story, and will be new to many readers.
The theme, of needing to use the Stone to save a world that could be lost, will be evident to many young readers, who are well aware that if we do not use the "gifts" we have in the right way, we will destroy the Earth we have a responsibility to protect.
I see this book being a good starting point for discussion around the theme of climate control.. and the part we can play.
Or a good, absorbing read in its own right.
