Book Review for The Seven Stones: The Seastone by Robb Arbuckle

I found a way to make a little income for every book I read, so I read this book.  You were supposed to read The Seven Stones The Seastone and then do the survey about the book.  Then, if you qualified you would get contacted to join their book reviews and receive some income per book you read.  If you were wondering who to contact to start the process it was called Paracle Publishing. I am sure I did not get contacted probably because I wasn’t reading too much at the beginning and now I am reading a lot more and it could be their program didn’t have any available spots for readers right now. There may be other options that do the same thing I may try.

If you’re familiar with “Harry Potter,” you’ll quickly see a lot of similarities. I will say, that this one felt like it was targeted more at children and less at adults.  That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy the book, because I truly enjoyed the book. I would say the target audience for this book is probably 10-14 years old.

One thing I liked about this story was that I was drawn into the story from the first page.  I wanted to know what was going to happen.  I wanted to discover who was good and who was bad.

I loved seeing the story and the characters develop throughout the book.  I loved the idea of having seven stones for the houses and that it didn’t just include the typical air-fire-water-earth elements. I enjoyed seeing Kizzy and Alexander’s friendship grow, especially toward the end when they weren’t speaking and Kizzy rescues him from the locked room.

If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will love The Seven Stones: The Seastone.  It follows the same storyline base as you meet Alexander Zale, a young boy whose parents are missing.  He lives in a miserable place.  Unhappy, lonely, and looking for purpose.  His future makes a positive turn when he meets his new friend Kizzy.  It also lets you forget the story started in New York City.

Let me know if you love this book! I would love comments on Facebook and Instagram.
