This book was great. It is an incredibly awesome fantasy book. It is about three girls named Jade, Opal, and Amber. On their fourteenth birthdays, they are each given a purse with a stone in it and told to meet the other girls under a tree. The girls obey and embark on a journey. They do not know where they are going or what they have to do. There was a prophecy about the girls a long time ago that said they would do good things for others. The girls face many hardships along the way and must choose the best things to do. They have to do many hard things. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy and adventure.

Okay, so most of you guys are complementing her about how she wrote the book, and how it is very exciting and great and stuff. Well, believe it or not, tat is not the only amazing thing abou this book. By the way, those who read this book, did you ever bother to read about the author? Well, if you did, you would understand exactly what I am talking about. This girl wrote this book when she was 13, my age, and over 300 pages too! The most I ever wrote was 50 and then i never finish my stories. She is now 15 nd working on her second book.Even if this book had sucked, which by the way it didnt, it wuld still b great for a 13 year old to have published a book! SO bye guys!

This book was fair when you take into account the age of its author, but to be honest I was a little surprised to see such a premature story published. I felt that the general idea had great potential, and was disappointed in the end. Miss Bujor could have written an incredible story had she placed her manuscript in a drawer for a few more years.

The story of The Chosen One was stronger than that of the three heroines, and since Bujor switched between the two with each chapter I found myself cringing when I turned the page and left a strong and intricate character behind to read about girls who were simplistic and more than a little trite.

I look forward to Miss Bujor's next novel, because I think that maturity can only improve her writing. It also might help to have an editor who spots subplots and scenes that do not fit and bring confusion to the novel, as well as "fated love" between teens who have known each other for only a matter of minutes or hours.

A diffirent type of faery tale. I love how the entire book is the dream of a girl on her death bed. It's a different way of telling a story. The Herions face real challenges that could be symbolic of more or just understood has a great triumph.
I admire Flavia's style and ability for someone so young, great book.

I adore this book. I kept me in full suspense at all time. This is one of the only books i truely felt a part of. I was absorbed into the book and it was very hard for me to get out of it. It the type of book you cant put down. I loved every aspect of it. And i truely believe that if anyone didnt enjoy this book wel they are hard headed and arent open to posibility. Three girls, three stones, three personalities that all fit together to make one.

The Prophecy Of The Stones, by Flavia Bujour (who wrote this novel when she was thirteen) is a decent try for a first novel written by a thirteen-year-old. It's nothing to get too excited about, but it's not terrible, especially considering the author's age when she wrote it. In the book, three teenage girls have a destiny to fulfill an ancient prophecy. They learn of it on the day of their fourteenth birthdays, and set out on a journey through magical worlds with only three magical stones. The book also talks about a parallel world where another girl lies ill in a Paris hospital. When she sleeps, she visits the magical world, where a battle is going on. Whether they succeed or fail determines whether she will recover.

I admire anyone who, at the age of thirteen, can write a 386 page novel, but I think she might have been better off to wait until she could write something a little better.

The writing is decent, but the plot and characters don't seem to have a lot of depth to them. The addition of the sick girl in Paris seems like a rather obvious effort to add originality to this not so original fantasy novel. It does not succeed.

Better next time, Flavia Bujour.

I read Flavia's book when I was 12 and to think that a girl my age wrote something that spectacular left me dumfounded. I was amazed at the skills she possesed at such a young age and have used her as my hero since then. I am currently 14 and am still shocked at her prowess at writing.
