Publisher Description

In the garden
Nothing is as it seems

 

It's difficult taking care of a delusional father by yourself. Sixteen-year-old Shaleigh Mallet would rather explore and photograph dilapidated buildings than cater to her father's dark episodes. But when she's kidnapped by a creature who carries her atop a flying bicycle into another world, she realizes this wasn't the escape she wanted.
 

In a kingdom known as the Garden, where minotaurs pull carriages and parties are held in hot air balloons, Madam Cloom and her faerie servant, Teagan, rule over the land with incredible but terrifying magic. Shaleigh must prove that she is the reincarnation of a long-dead ruler, not because she believes it, but because it's her only chance to survive. With the help of a trespassing faerie, a stoatling, and a living statue, Shaleigh hopes to outwit everyone. She aims to break the bonds of servitude and finally make her way home. What she doesn't realize, however, is that she's playing right into the hands of a far worse enemy

“It’s difficult taking care of a delusional father by yourself. Touching on subjects often hard for a reader to digest, Frank effectively weaves a story that makes the themes a stark reality, whilst also easier to digest. Weaving a father-daughter relationship between linguistic talent and effective imagery, the author creates an enthralling tale of hardship and success against all odds.”
“Stolen follows the story of a girl who is kidnapped by a strange creature and taken from the modern world to a new world full of magical creatures where she is seen by some as the reincarnation of an old ruler. Stolen was an interesting, whimsical book. It seemed like it was in between middle grade and young adult. It felt like a mg book, but then there were more mature ya moments. So, not quite sure what to think about it. I was hoping there would be more with the relationship between Shaleigh and her father at the end, but I guess they’ll save that for the sequel? People who enjoy Chronicles of Narnia and Disney’s Nutcracker and the Four Realms might like this book. Thank you to Netgalley and Parliament House (publisher) for a copy to review!”
“Hated this book. Needs so much work. Couldn't get past the first couple chapters.”
