Have you ever had a really exciting and scary experience all at the same time? Hayley is having a stranger school vacation than she ever has before. Her grandpa left a map showing the location of some very special stones. The Azura stones were very special for many reasons. It is exciting for Hayley and her friends to follow the map, but the fact that they are being followed is very scary. There are many twists and turns in the pursuit of these stones. You never know where the next danger lurks. Just what makes these stones so valuable and so wanted by so many people? What power will you get when you get these?
“The Azura Stones” is a fantastic book for kids who love a suspense or mystery story. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. You won’t want to wait to the end to see what will happen. Yet when the book is over, you’re sad that the book is over because it’s just so good. Helen D Bailie is a new author. She is very talented. I hope she writes more stories like this one. I think its target market is kids ages 11-14. It’s a fantastic read!
(The author was born in Brisbane, Australia. As a secondary school teacher, she always desired to instill a love of reading in her students as well as to help them become lifelong learners and readers. She has realized the significant role teachers play in the lives of children as they grow and develop into young adults, and she treasures the opportunities she has had to help her students to develop good reading skills, to excel in their chosen careers and to become productive members of society.)
