Eutopia: The Discovery by Kathy Motlagh

Share it Please
Genre: Children, Fantasy, Fiction

Synopsis: A mythical world is ruined and all the virtue guardians fall asleep from a poison that is released. The creatures and plants are killed and the world is destroyed. The task is then given to three Earth children to awaken all the virtue guardians and find the virtue stones by living the virtues and using the gifts given to them by Hermes, the leader of the guardians.

My Thoughts: This was an interesting story. The writing isn't my favorite -- I have a lot of questions after reading it that were not answered. The book also ends with the foreboding words of "To Be Continued". It has a good message though and one that should be taught to children today.
