Reihe: The Sacred Stones

Ever since his dad passed away, Ollie and his sister have spent the summers at their Gran's house, which unfortunately was down the street from Cody, a kid who would conveniently run into Ollie every day to bully him alongside his posse. The sting of Cody's harsh words would stay with Ollie all year, but he honestly wasn't sure what was worse, the consistent teasing or the fact that he allowed the abuse to continue. One day, Cody finally pushed Ollie beyond his breaking point, unleashing all the pent-up anger and hurt he has held inside for years. Knowing there would be a price to pay, Ollie went looking for an escape and stumbled upon the various holes cut into the fence down the street from him at Gran's house. Knowing these holes were often used as an escape route for others, Ollie went through, only to be sent into another dimension. This alternate reality was similar to his own, but it allowed Ollie to see creatures beyond his wildest imagination-creatures that together were known as the gnome clan. Realizing that he could slip easily back and forth between the two realities, Ollie would often visit this alternate dimension. Until one day the leader of the gnome clan was taken and it was up to Ollie to save them and the first of seven sacred stones, known as courage, that were stolen from the clan. Through this quest, Ollie discovers his own ability to be courageous, giving him the power to save not only the gnome clan leader but also himself from his relentless bully. 'The Sacred Stones' takes young readers on a fantasy journey where they can begin to realize they too can find these sacred virtues within themselves.
