An Introduction to Fantasy.
The Prophecy of the Stones, though imaginative and well-written, compromises a good storyline for poorly developed characters; hazy, mostly boring sub-plots and is full of cliches. To the wise eyes of an adult this book is nothing compared to other fantasy novels, but to children between the ages of roughly 8-10, it is pure gold. I'd like to think of the story as a "practice" for other books, most notably Inkheart, a vivid tween book spilling with creativity. Books such as Harry Potter, Twilight and Lord of the Rings can be read in the teen years with little difficulty if properly introduced, which brings us to why this book is important, not as a priceless literature movement, but as a teacher.

I couldn't stop reading it!
I really enjoyed this book! There are alot of interesting events in this and I don care what people think but I know that this is a great book! I recommend it to people from GR.4 - GR.6. If you are in those GRS you should read them now or later on you might find it boring! =( But over all I really enjoyed this book and I hope you do too!!!!

Great!
I think the people at Common Sense should have gone a little bit easier on Flavia Bujor. It reads like a 14 year old's writing, because it IS a 14 year old's writing. It was a great book for someone her age, and I couldn't put it down the whole time I was reading it. The plot line is great and the characters are well-developed. You don't need to use big fancy words to make someone understand the story. Parents: this book was great and a great choice for kids 10 and up. There are a few romantic scenes, but nothing stronger than a kiss. There is a battle at the end, but it's more exciting than gory. Oh and for another thing, she's not Romanian, she's French.

Not bad for someone my age....
I haven't read the entire book, but I have read bits and pieces of it to get the idea of it. Not bad for a young teen, but I don't think it's material meant for publication. It's wordy, and rather unoriginal...it reminds me of "Hunted" by NM Browne, and other TV shows and whatnot as well.

Are you kidding?!
It's the best book ever! We're all 14 and under! WE can understand why she writes like that, because that's how we write too! It's a very good book.

Great for a sixth grader
OK, eveyone says it sounds like a 14 yr old wrote it. That might have something to do with the fact that it was written by a high schooler, which for that age I think is impressive. This book was exciting and not too violent. It's great for a sixth grader, but any older and you will get bored.

NOT a literary work of art
this book is a linear, uncreative, run of the mill fantasy book that sounds exactly like something a 13 year old wrote- people fall in love within minutes, and develop deep emotional connections in a day, plot lines rushed and felt as though i was reading a 7th graders school project, mind you it was a good project for a 7th grader. The story line isn't too bad, its predictable, yes, butit kept my interest. Not very good for those of us over 13, but good for very young to pre-teen girls. I would read it to my 8 year old cousin. But everyone once in a while , us literature buffs need to take abreak from great works of art and read something easy, simple, predicatble, not indepth, book.

One of my fav. books
I am 11 years old. This book suits my age perfectly. I wouldn't recommend this book to kids that are younger then me because the whole book is basically based on war. However, I am rather outraged that CSM said that it reads like a 14 year old wrote it. This is a very inspiring book that is exrtremly well written. In Europe, The Prophecy of the Stones was on the best seller list. Great book. I can't say it enough.
