“Nora and the Sacred Stones” by Laura Hatch Rupper

My 11 year old son just read this book and said he enjoyed it. It was quick for him to read (100 pages in length) so he read it in one afternoon. He liked the main characters and the mystical magical plot. He said he hopes there will be more books by this author.

We would recommend this fantasy novella (short story) to middle school and early high school readers. I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:
Trespasser, Thief, Assailant—these were never titles Nora planned on. She was just trying to protect her sister. With the help of her little brother and his best friend, Nora embarks on a life-or-death quest that could rock the very fabric of their society.

After breaking into the royal palace, Nora discovers that the ancient power of the sacred stones is more than just a legend. But in her desperate attempt to help her sister, Nora may have awoken something deep inside the earth—a power she doesn’t fully understand. As Nora flees, she accidentally encounters Prince Kyn, heir to the Liardian throne. She narrowly manages to escape, but now the young prince knows who she is and what she looks like.

Eager to prove himself to his father, Prince Kyn leads a mission to find Nora and bring her back to House Liard. Unfortunately, his search is riddled with obstacles he never saw coming. Kyn soon realizes he needs Nora’s help more than he could have possibly imagined. In fact, the whole world does.
