Chantarelle (The five stones trilogy, 2) - Softcover
In Book Two of The Five Stones Trilogy, Chase, determined to fulfill his promise to find the unifying Fifth Stone, finds the elusive Captain Nate and brings him back to the island of Ayda, where one realm is burning and two others are under siege from Dankar's dark forces of Exor. Meanwhile, Knox and Evelyn must trust a mysterious guide to help them find a way back, though each has their own personal struggle to overcome. All three children must decide if they can put their own needs―and fears―aside to save their friends and family.

About the Author:
G. A. Morgan is the author of The Fog of Forgetting and Chantarelle, the first two books in The Five Stones Trilogy, and several nonfiction works under her full name, Genevieve Morgan. She grew up in New York City and spent every summer of her childhood in Maine. She now lives and works in Portland, Maine.
Review:
Morgan's ambitious plot ties up loose ends from Book 1 while creating additional tangles as it delves deeper into the power struggle on Ayda... This is a strong-boned story that is full of adventure and worldbuilding, and it neatly avoids middle-book syndrome. An adventure suffused with philosophical offerings that will appeal to readers who enjoy rich fantasy. --Kirkus Reviews
This is a fast moving fantasy novel which will be enjoyed by readers of varying skill levels. A great deal of backstory is conveyed through the story element of the "fog of forgetting" which causes the children to forget what has happened in Ayda upon leaving, allowing readers new to the series to begin at the second book and still leap fully into the story. Much of the world-building occurs in the first book in the series, but readers of the first book will particularly appreciate the character growth afforded the young protagonists in this second volume. This vivid fantasy is particularly recommended for middle grade readers who enjoyed Suzanne Collins's Gregor the Overlander (Scholastic, 2004/VOYA October 2003). --VOYA Magazine
