Dear Librarian, Snow is falling when shattering news arrives for Sarah Lucas. Forced to live with relatives, she awaits word from her brother Sam, a scientific genius working for a secretive institute. Then Sam disappears, and a mysterious stone turns up in the mail. And Sarah realizes she is being followed. So begins the adventure that draws Sarah and her friend Angel, the half-Gypsy stable boy, across the universe to battle dark forces and discover their undreamed of destinies, in a novel Publishers Weekly called “First-rate... well-paced, full of magic, mystery and invention” and Madeleine L’Engle described as “... a fantasy with a depth and richness seldom found in a novel for young readers.” I began writing THE DREAM OF THE STONE in a city library, and—like Sarah herself—I have always found libraries to be enchanted places, and librarians trusted guides. I hope many of you will want to add DREAM to your collections, and if you’re in the Southeast, I’d love to visit! Write me at thedreamofthestone@gmail.com. Thanks for all you do, Christina www.simonsays.com
