Twelve year old Lily lives in a lonely world. Imaginative and friendless, her world falls further apart when her father disappears and is presumed dead. Until one day when she discovers a mysterious pendant that thrusts her into a land of dragons, mythical creatures, and adventure. Could her father still be alive? And could this young, underestimated girl be the one to save him?
This middle school action novel kept me reading from cover to cover. The plot moved along at a quick pace with adventure running through the entire book. The Dragon and the Stone is written a style reminiscent of Tolkien and Lewis, borrowing from themes in Scripture as well. Author Kathryn Butler explores the ideas of family, friendship, good vs evil, redemption, and so much more. Truly a story well worth introducing to the next generation.
