CHOSEN  
July 30, 2010
Author:  Toni van Rijen
Category:  Fiction: Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Description:  Fourteen-year-old loner George Jackett feels disconnected from his parents, is bullied at school and lives each day merely to get through it. That's until the day, while waiting for the school bus, he is given an unusual stone pendant by a stranger. First, the bizarre dreams begin and then, when his class tours the ruins of an ancient castle, George feels a connection that he cannot define. As he seeks to sort out what is happening to him, he finds himself thrown together with a group of misfitting cohorts: the vivacious and popular girl, Claire, a mysterious newcomer named Arabella, and fellow outcast, the bright but socially inept Terrance. The unlikely foursome embark on a suspenseful time-travel adventure that will change their lives forever.
Rights available:  All.
Other information:  This wonderfully engaging, suspenseful and funny tale is a real treasure and has Harry Potter-size potential for this truly gifted New Zealand story-teller. (Young adult fantasy)
