Exciting new Young Adult books are in the library!

The Crescent Stone
These three lines will draw you in:

“A girl with a deadly lung disease…
A boy with a tragic past…
A bargain that brings life, but may cost more than anyone can imagine…”

Written by Matt Mikalatos, The Crescent Stone: Sunlit Lands Book One, is a story about a young girl with a terminal lung disease and a boy struggling with guilt. Both want better things, to make their ailments disappear, and one day a  stranger from a magical, distant land gives them a way out. But is it worth it?

This is the first book in a series, which I know will make readers anticipate book two! Check out Matt Mikalatos’ other young adult books on his website.
