Summary: Should never have been published
Review: This is one of the worst young adult books I have ever read, and no, I don't think we should give Bujor praise for finishing such a long book just because she finished it. What she sould have done was recognize that her idea for a book was interesting but that she was not capable of fully realizing it at her level, and she should have practiced her craft and written it when she knew what she was doing. It's full of stiff, ridiculous dialogue, shallow characterizations, blunt exposition, and a preachy, "message" about the Power of Hope; it also has some of the worst unexamined plot holes and plot contrivances. It's clearly written by a fourteen-year-old and will probably (when she is an accomplished writer) be an embarrassment for her. Though it was kinda fun to read something that bad written so ernestly. My biggest question is whether the book is better in French; that may improve some of the writing, though it will not help the plot or characters. Still, I bet she's laughing all the way to the bank.

Summary: This is good for girls ages 9-12
Review: This is the BEST book!Its about three girls who were given different parents for safty. There's Jade, a rich girl who is a little snobby and loves looking pretty. Amber is my favorite. She is brave but very poor. (A phesant). In the description, she is VERY pretty. Opal is quiet and doesn't talk much. When they turn 14, thier (unreal) parents told them who they really are. You'll have to read the book to see what happens. It has a sweet ending. Can you believe the author, Flavia Bujor stared this book when she was 12! I think.

Summary: Good, but...
Review: Well, i agree with the other reviewers who thought that the author had a great idea, but not so great writing. Although she surely is a better writer than me and i give her props for finishing a book, i think it could have been better. A few times i had to reread a section because i was confused. Especially that whole Joa thing. I sort of understand, but she could have made it more clear. It's basically a cross between Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Actually, a lot like LOTR. A King Theodon was even mentioned in the book. The names, odd creatures, places were LOTR-sounding. Does anyone else agree? And the whole getting-together-to-fight-evil-creatures-so-the-world-is-not-destroyed idea. Don't get me wrong, this book is pretty good, it's in my top 30. Flavia Bujor has a great writing potential, so she'll improve with her next book.

Summary: The Prophecy of the Stones
Review: What a great book!!!
I had seen it somewhere, and after being attracted to it by its title, premise, and cover, I was put off by nearby in-store claims that it was not an adult-level book.
Thank goodness I later saw a good newspaper review pointing out the quality of this book for adults as well as children! I immediately wanted to find the book again, a hard thing to do as many people have been deceived by its "children's book" status and didn't even stock it for younger readers.
So I turned to Amazon, where I ordered my copy and anxiously awaited its arrival!
It didn't disappoint me!!!
I couldn't put it down, reading for long periods.
Now that I am finished with my first reading of the book I am looking forward to a second! It is a high quality book, with much soul and depth.
This will be a classic!

Summary: Wow! A triumph for such a young writer
Review: With "The Prophecy of the Stones," young Flavia Bujor (only 15!) creates, with simple lyric, a compelling story of teenage serendipity as its main characters travel through a magical world. Such imagination... I look forward to what else this young writer will produce as her career moves forward. (...)
