“It’s a wild romp with Mindy and Logan as they desperately look for clues to free their friends enslaved by the insidious Dark Shadow Lord Grieve.”
Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, author of Rocket Boy and the Geek Girls, Shadow Conspiracy I & II, and Dragon Boys and Warrior Women
“The Grounding Stone, book two in L.A. Miller’s Quests of Shadowind series, is a fast-paced tale of adventure set on a truly strange world where the animals are robotic and mysteries abound. Equal parts science fiction, fantasy, and thriller, this book for young readers also contains a good dose of humor despite the serious problems that face its young protagonists—such as finding their missing parents and learning the nature of the world they inhabit. If your children love SF and fantasy, The Grounding Stone would be a fine addition to their library (and parents will enjoy reading it too).”
