Interpretation Supposing Books Stoneheart (Stoneheart Trilogy #1)

A city has many lives and layers. London has more than most. Not all the layers are underground, and not all the lives belong to the living.
Twelve-year-old George Chapman is about to find this out the hard way. When, in a tiny act of rebellion, George breaks the head from a stone dragon outside the Natural History Museum, he awakes an ancient power. This power has been dormant for centuries but the results are instant and terrifying: A stone Pterodactyl unpeels from the wall and starts chasing George. He runs for his life but it seems that no one can see what he's running from. No one, except Edie, who is also trapped in this strange world.
And this is just the beginning as the statues of London awake...
This is a story of statues coming to life; of a struggle between those with souls and those without; of how one boy who has been emotionally abandoned manages to find hope.

Column Based On Books Stoneheart (Stoneheart Trilogy #1)
This book has some similarities with the Harry Potter series: kids on an adventure in the vicinity of London in a parallel world which overlaps our familiar one. Also, the main character gets a scar which indicates he's special in some way. But it's definitely not a copy cat novel, these similarities are only superficial. This work is original and creative and has nothing to do with magic. This story is more about the lore and mythology of this alternate world in which the protagonist has

The book itself is probably a 3 star book (3 stars isn't bad - it means I liked it). HOWEVER the audio version is narrated by Jim Dale so that upped the rating. Jim Dale can turn an average book into something very entertaining.http://iamareadernotawriter.blogspot....

Personal Response:This book is a well written book, but it is slightly confusing. I had issues with some parts, and in some places I think it is too detailed. It seems to just run on, but it also a good read. I pushed through the confusing parts and tried to make sense of them, and it worked itself out in the end.Plot:George breaks a stone dragon head off a wall in anger, and causes the statues in London to come to life unseen by others. He runs into the Gunner, who is a statue who helps him

I have always loved sculptures. I can remember visiting the museum with my parents as a little girl and being truly frightened by some of the more monstrous images carved in stone, with their malicious smiles that exposed far too many teeth for my small child imagination. I think deep down I was always afraid they were going to suddenly come alive. In Stoneheart, that is exactly what happens to George Chapman, a 12 year-old English boy who expresses his frustration in the wrong way at the wrong

I love the idea of the statues of London coming to "life" and enjoyed the transformation of George.The characters, human and otherwise are compelling, and you don't get hard and fast answers about whose side some of these characters are on. This book can be dark and suspenseful... not recommended for children who are prone to nightmares (One of the bad guys enjoys eating children, to give one example).Ironhand, here I come!!!

An imaginative coming-of-age adventure that might be considered to be a cross between Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman, with a dash of Harry Potter. I look forward to reading the rest of the series because I want to find out what happens with these characters.

3 1/2 stars.My son said this was a good read, so I gave it a chance.While I was a little confused about how the "layers" of London interacted and effected each other, the seeming and slight inconsistencies weren't enough to stop me.It's a fun, fleshed-out world that Flethcer has created, and while the ending left me feeling a little flat, (Really, after all that, that's how it ends!?) I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
