I am reviewing a copy of Children of the Stone City through HarperCollins Children’s Books, Quill Tree Books and Netgalley:
From Carnegie Medal Winning Author Beverly Nairobi comes the story of Adam and his sister Leila, they are Nons, second class citizens, who live under the permitted ruling class. Despite the fact that their life in Stone City being filled with family, stories, and music, they must carefully follow the rules, have all paperwork on hand, and never, ever do anything to anger a Permitted. When their father unexpectedly dies, they are even restricted in how they are allowed to grieve.
It isn’t long before Adam and Leila are back in school, practicing music, but after Adam’s friend Zak plays a bold prank on a group of Permitted boys, and Adam is implicated in Zak’s “crime,” Adam knows their lives will never be the same again.
I give Children of the Stone City five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
