The Dragon and the Stone, Dream Keeper Saga, Book 1, by Kathryn Butler

The Dream Keeper Saga is a series of adventure novels for middle-grade students filled with magic, mystery, and glimmers of hope.

Lily McKinley is only twelve-years old, but she already feels the weight of the world's brokenness. She's seen it in her mother's exhaustion, her grandmother's illness, and the cruelty of Adam, the bully at her school. Most tragically, she experienced it two months ago when her father died in a horrible accident.

As an artistic daydreamer, Lily has a wild imagination that helps her cope, but that imagination can get her into trouble. One day, it takes her to a fantasy world called the Sommium Realm where her father's secret history embroils her in an epic quest. With the aid of a guide dragon named Cedric, Lily battles evil shrouds, harpies, and other creatures to navigate her way through grief, rescue the world from evil, and find the power of redemption.

This compelling novel from Kathryn Butler mixes fantasy with Christian themes, taking middle-grade readers on a quest through castles, forests, and caverns to help a young girl find hope and usher in restoration.
