Publisher Description

Exploring the power of stories and storytelling, Sarah Beth Durst presents the mesmerizing adventure of a girl made of living stone who braves unforeseen dangers and magical consequences on a crucial quest to save her family. 

Mayka and her stone family were brought to life by the stories etched into their bodies. Now time is eroding these vital marks, and Mayka must find a stonemason to recarve them. But the search is more complex than she had imagined, and Mayka uncovers a scheme endangering all stone creatures. Only someone who casts stories into stone can help—but whom can Mayka trust? Where is the stonemason who will save them?

Action and insight combine in this magical coming-of-age novel as the young heroine realizes the savior she’s been searching for is herself.

The Stone Girl's Story Reviews

3.5
“Loooved everything about it. Great characters, world, plot, etc. The idea of carving an obedience mark on the stone creatures is reminiscent of the problem of free will, why God didn’t make people slaves, etc. Good thoughts in there. However, the idea that stone creations are people too could be seen as pro-AI, so that’s a tad problematic. Gotta keep that in the fantasy setting and not extrapolate it.”
