  <default_description>A city has many lives and layers.  London has more than most.  Not all the layers are underground, and not all the lives belong to the living.  Twelve-year-old George Chapman is about to find this out the hard way. When, in a tiny act of rebellion, George breaks the head from a stone dragon outside the Natural History Museum, he awakes an ancient power. This power has been dormant for centuries but the results are instant and terrifying: A stone Pterodactyl unpeels from the wall and starts chasing George. He runs for his life but it seems that no one can see what he's running from.  No one, except Edie, who is also trapped in this strange world. And this is just the beginning as the statues of London awake?  This is a story of statues coming to life; of a struggle between those with souls and those without; of how one boy who has been emotionally abandoned manages to find hope.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked this book. The author's voice captures life as a 12-year-old boy perfectly. I can't wait to read the other two books in the trilogy to find out what happens to George and his friends.<br/><br/>Stoneheart is a fresh new adventure in London where the statues come to life and war with ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68265653">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The only reason I brought this audio-book home from the library was because it was read by Jim Dale, who also did all the Harry Potter stories.   He is a master of the craft.  Happily, the story turned out to be very enjoyable as well -- creative, interesting, moved along well, with great characters...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64237728">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't really enjoy this book.  The idea is creative.  It's about statues throughout London.  These statues are in the midst of a war with one another.  Only two humans can see and interact with the statues.  Even though it had this great idea, it was boring to read.  The only reason I even finish...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63444644">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I saw a student reading the sequel to this title a few weeks ago.  He started telling me about it, and the next day brought in his copy of Stoneheart for me to read.  I'm always up for a good fantasy read, so I gave it a try.  I thought the story had an interesting premise, but for some reason it fe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32842660">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Actually listened to this, rather than read it. A fantastic story expertly narrated by Jim Dale. Twelve year old George Chapman breaks the head off a stone dragon outside a museum in London and begins a chain of events that takes him into a different &quot;layer&quot; of the city, one where the stat...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22304816">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I like the idea behind the story of warring statues in London.  I just have personal issues when most of the plot is based on the stupidity of the characters.  I listened on tape and that helped make the story more interesting because Jim Dale does a great job with the voices.]]></body>
