Do You like book The Greenstone Grail (2005)?
that story is really awesome.. I don't actually feel I'm reading this book but instead I feel like I was really in the scene.. a very nice plot in this book.. I really love it.. I had finished it already but I could still feel its story within me, everyday I was looking for it.. the story is just too great.. love Amanda Hemingway!! The ending is really nice too, i was really satisfied to it, It feels complete - the ending - but when I found out there is a next book that's the time I felt "it" was incomplete. then, suddenly I saw myself longing for its next book. I was like crazy until now looking for the next book!! yeah.. GREAT!! love it.. =)

The first in a trilogy featuring a young boy whose dreams are far too real--because they ARE real. He learns in his dreams about a dying world and then he must find the grail to begin the healing process. In the next two books (which I have not read), Nathan must find the crown and sword so that the spell of healing can be complete.This story has all the flavor of Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series. I enjoyed the characters and the setting but found the plot moved a little too slowly at times.

I had read so many great reviews of this book, that I was really looking forward to reading it. Maybe my expectations were too high as a result, but I was curiously disappointed not to be blown away by it. I also hadn't realised that it was a YA book, which became very obvious by the tone and writing style of the book...and I very nearly put it down again. But I am glad I continued as it was enjoyable, for all its faults.The story starts off with a young mother and her child being driven towards a grand old house by whispering shadows. Years pass and the child grows up to find he has the power to travel to different universes and, unintentionally, bring things back with him. One of these universes is dying, but a Great Spell (note the capitals!) can safe everyone, if only the Cup, Sword and Crown can be brought together. Coincidently, a local legend tells of a mysterious, cursed, cup of blood that was lost centuries ago by the ruling family of the area. Oh, and a strange cup has just come up for sale at Sootheby's....Actually, the story has a lot more depth than that. There are some nice twists, although they weren't a massive surprise, and the characters were brought to life very well. A lot is left open for the next two books in the series, which I would probably read if I came across them, but wouldn't necessarily go running out to buy them.So, overall, a good YA book that I'm sure would be loved by a lot of readers in that age group, but for me, it lacked some of the depth I really want in my fantasy.
