Product Description

Product Description
A magical and captivating debut fantasy novel from young French author of fourteen years. Sometime in the past...Three young girls, Jade, Amber and Opal, each from very different backgrounds, discover on the day of their fourteenth birthday that they are adopted. An ancient prophecy compels them to leave their families to complete their mission in a far-off kingdom. Each girl is given custody of a magic stone which corresponds to her name. Although they dislike each other on sight, they have to overlook their differences in order to escape the dangers that threatens them. They begin a long voyage to Oonagh, the mysterious oracle who becomes their guide. Their quest will lead them into a ferocious battle against the forces of evil. Present day...In a Parisian hospital a fourteen-year-old girl is dying. Joa no longer speaks, nor fights for her life, but she dreams and her thoughts carry her into a fairy-tale world where three heroines lead an epic war. The distant promise of their victory and the end of their adventures carries with it a secret which could return to her the will to live...

4.0 out of 5 stars loved it, 31 Aug 2005
By A Customer
i started this book and could not put it down!! its fantastic in my opinion and look forward to the next book by bujor! The book kept me on my toes and i couldn't wait to find out what happend next :) although the ending does not answer all my questions i still greatly enjoyed the novel...maybe you need a grave imagination to truly enjoy this book. At 14, i was first curious to see what someone my age could write but while reading the book i forgot the age of the author as i was so absorbed into the book:)

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, 18 Mar 2004
Yes, the author is only fourteen. Yes, her writing style will probably mature (the fact that it's in translation doesn't help). But it's a good fun book, with some good ideas; more suited for the younger end of the young adult spectrum.
