The Starstones is the first of three parts in Jo Salmson’s new fantasy series The Fate of the Dragons. She has written enormously popular series for 6+ before. This time she writes for children who are 9+. “With a muffled bang the door shuts behind Nea. The hall is dark. The only light comes from the Starstone, which is standing in front of the altar. There, the starseer Fenel is waiting for her.
– It is time, he says sternly.
This is the most important moment in Nea’s life. If she is found to have the Gift she becomes the starseer’s apprentice.”
