Book Description

Release Date: Nov 1 2008 | Series: Sacred Stones (Book 1)
Fourteen-year-old Kyra has always felt different, but lately even her brother Karne has noticed her acting strangely--especially when she's near the ceremonial sacred stones that help guide and protect her village. When the villainous priest, Wardyke, overthrows the beloved elder, Maal, and threatens them all, Kyra must accept that her emerging psychic powers are her people's only hope. With guidance from Maal, and help from Karne and her best friend, Fern, Kyra enters the forbidden circle of stones to call upon unseen, mystical powers to banish Wardyke once and for all!

Moyra Caldecott's The Sacred Stones series, set in Bronze Age Britain, introduces readers to a time when magic existed in the workings of everyday life and the threat of evil loomed in the shadows.

5.0 out of 5 stars unparalleled beauty, a mystery worth a lifetime Nov 13 2002
By neko
Format:Paperback
the first time i read this book was when i was 11, and i loved it. i used to wish i was kyra and that someday, i'd be able to go on the same journey, meet a handsome young man, and reach her level of wisdom. now, that i am much much older, (i am now in college and still enjoy peeling through crinkly pages of book), i look to this novel with full reverence, for it has been the inspiration for my writing, my faith, and my life.

i currently own (actually, they're my father's) the old separate books published by corgi in 1979 and am proud that they are well-worn and crinkly. =) i read them again every chance i get (also, in alternation with Tolkien's books) and am always entraced by its beauty and the mysticism woven into its story.

but this is not a book for those who do not like novels without sketches. this is a book of words, of images brought forth by our own interest, background and imagination. the novel is just not another mystical adventure story, but it is one read that lets us analyze our own faith in ourselves, what we believe in, what we hope for and that force that drives us to our ultimate goal.

if you'd rather see pictures on the cover, i suggest you try to find old corgi copies that have wonderful art on the cover of each book. i think that would really help visualize the characters and mood of the story. =) too bad emails aren't allowed on this review, i'd be happy to share my scans of those old covers... =)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good plot - painfully written Jun 9 2001
By "kangarex"
Format:Paperback
My major reaction to reading this book was a burning desire to go back and rewrite it. The writer has a lot of imagination, interesting characters, and a good plot. Unfortunately she simply doesn't write very well. Problems with character viewpoint, problems with explication, slow writing - nothing truly awful, but if bad writing bothers you, you'll find it hard to get past it to the story. I certainly did.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Long Novel Dec 8 2000
By Sky
Format:Paperback
This was the first BIG novel that I read, 3 in 1 book that made me think long and hard if I really wanted to read something with so many words. My older sister told me to read it and be quiet, so I did. Then thanked her because I loved it! I loved the storyline, loved the characters loved that I could see what was happening visually as I read it. I cannot stand books that don't make you picture anything other than little black letters, so I found it to be one of the best books (and equal first place as one of the best long books) I have ever read.
