A review by michellehenriereads
The Forbidden Stone by Tony Abbott
4.0
I gave it 3.5 stars.
One point I am always concerned about, is the amount of violence in children's books. The Forbidden Stone has characters who die, and are threatened with death. We know that someone was killed in an elevator accident, but the reader is not led through a murder step, by gruesome step. The villain is a disturbing because she is so young; described as being only a few years older than the four protagonists. In the first book we don't know her background, but it is sure to be a stunning revelation. The book is not overtly violent.
I am always interested in the characters. Wade and Darrel are step-brothers, and they are best friends, though....
