 One snowy night, a state trooper arrives with shattering news for Sarah Lucas, and nothing will ever be the same.
Forced to live with relatives, Sarah awaits word from her brother Sam, a scientific genius working for a secretive institute. Then Sam disappears and a stone with mysterious powers turns up in the mail. And Sarah realizes she is being followed. The Dream of the Stone is "A first-rate fantasy, well-paced, full of magic, mystery, and invention" (Publishers Weekly). Madeleine L'Engle praised it as " . . . a fantasy with a depth and richness seldom found in a book for young readers." But I cherish most the responses from the many readers who say simply: "I loved it!" |
