The Dream of the Stone by Christina Askounis

The book starts with Sarah’s parents being very suspicious about Sarah’s older brother’s job. Sarah’s parents go to check on Sarah’s brother in California and end up dieing in a plane crash. Sarah then has to go to New York and live with her aunt and uncle. When a dark stone appears in the mail from Sarah’s brother Sam, Sarah and her friend Angel are taken to the planet Oneiros. Unfortunately, Sarah loses the dark stone that can save Sam from the Institute he used to work for. This is where Sarah must become the stone-bearer and Angel king.

I thought the book was very well written. It was a little slow at times but very good over all. The author mixed mystery with a little action in this book to make readers want to keep reading. The book had a surprising amount of tricky vocabulary. There where words like wormholes, quantum, continuum, and antimatter. The author must have put a lot of thought in to writing this book.
