This book was great. the charaters were believeable other than the fact they were from another world. This book is one of the best books i have read. the chapters went together well and the intro strung stuff together.

This review is from: The Stone Garden (Paperback)

The Stone Garden is a series of stories that together tell what happens when several children enter the house of fantasy writer, Gwendolyn Gardner. In Ms. Gardner's house they find creatures and characters from her books have come to life.

The only disappointing thing about this book is that the characters never actually enter the fantasy world of Turnre. Hopefully the author will write a sequel that shows the kids in the other world.
