“Kathi Oram Peterson has done it again.\r\rThe Stone Traveler combines believable\r\rcharacters, wonderful writing, and a Book\r\rof Mormon setting that draws you in from\r\rthe very beginning.” &mdash J. Scott Savage, author of Far World

“The Stone Traveler hurtles us back in time for a grand adventure, yet never loses sight of\r\rpowerful moral undertones of the tale. Kathi Peterson continues to weave together excitement\r\rand passion in a deeply empathetic story.” &mdash David Farland, author of Of Mice and Magic

Sixteen-year-old Tag can_√£_t believe he_√£_s in this much trouble.\r\rHe_√£_s not actually a member of the gang known as the\r\rPrimes — all he did was spray paint some graffiti that caught\r\rtheir attention. In all honesty, ever since his dad and brother\r\rleft, Tag just wants to be alone. And it_√£_s certainly not\r\rhis fault that the Primes nearly beat up his goofy cousin,\r\rEthan. But his mom is furious about these gang-related activities\r\rand insists that Tag spend the whole summer at his\r\rgrandpa_√£_s lakeside cabin, which is not Tag_√£_s idea of a good\r\rtime. So he does what any self-respecting teenager would do:\r\rrun away. But he doesn_√£_t get far before he encounters three\r\rstrange men carrying an even stranger object — a stone that\r\rglows with radiant light as bright as a thousand sparklers.\r\rTag doesn_√£_t steal the stone — not exactly. He feels like he is\r\rsupposed to take it. But he doesn_√£_t expect the stone to transport\r\rhim through space and time to a place he_√£_s never seen\r\rbefore — a place that looks an awful lot like the ancient lands\r\rdescribed in the Book of Mormon. And he definitely doesn_√£_t\r\rexpect to join Sabirah, the entrancing daughter of Samuel\r\rthe Lamanite, on a quest to rescue her father and brother\r\rfrom the evil King Jacob. And he absolutely doesn_√£_t expect\r\rto be captured by Jacob_√£_s minions and prepared as a sacrifice\r\rto the evil idol of the city. But just as Tag faces his death, a\r\rterrible storm begins to break, and the ground cracks into\r\rjagged pieces. And he_√£_s not sure which event will impact his\r\rlife more: his captor_√£_s knife coming at his body, the violent\r\rtempest sweeping the land . . . or the men who later appear,\r\rglowing even more brightly than the traveler_√£_s stone.","variants":[{"id":24449,"sku":"5050335","weight":"0.0","height":null,"width":null,"depth":null,"deletedAt":null,"isMaster":true,"productId":74486,"costPrice":"10.2","position":0,"costCurrency":"USD","trackInventory":true,"taxCategoryId":2,"updatedAt":"2023-06-09T02:17:23.677-06:00","isbn":"9781608610396","upc":"9781608610396","itemType":"DISCOUNTED","status":"INACTIVE","usePoints":true,"earnPoints":true,"msrp":"16.99","salable":false,"hide":false,"popularity":0,"shippingSurchargeTypeId":null,"createdAt":null,"oracleBuyerName":"Kara Nordstrom","oracleVendor":"COVENANT COMMUNICATIONS INC.","oracleDepartmentId":"5500","oracleClassId":"20","oracleBuyerId":"66","oracleClassName":"FICTION","oracleDepartmentName":"TEEN","oracleClass":null,"oracleDept":null,"oracleHold":null,"erpSalable":false,"erpRequiresStockToSell":true,"erpVersion":0,"erpUpdatedAt":"2023-02-09T05:16:33.000-07:00","acumaticaBrand":"COVENANT","erpCreatedAt":"2021-07-30 16:48:39 UTC","optionValues":[{"id":4,"name":"Paperback","presentation":"Paperback","optionTypeName":"Book Format","optionTypeId":1,"optionTypePresentation":"Book Format"}]},{"id":24812,"sku":"5050331","weight":"0.52","height":"1.14","width":"5.5","depth":"6.44","deletedAt":null,"isMaster":false,"productId":74486,"costPrice":"16.8","position":1,"costCurrency":"USD","trackInventory":true,"taxCategoryId":2,"updatedAt":"2023-06-09T02:17:23.656-06:00","isbn":"9781608610402","upc":"9781608610402","itemType":"DISCOUNTED","status":"INACTIVE","usePoints":true,"earnPoints":true,"msrp":"27.99","salable":false,"hide":false,"popularity":0,"shippingSurchargeTypeId":null,"createdAt":null,"oracleBuyerName":"Kara Nordstrom","oracleVendor":"COVENANT COMMUNICATIONS INC.","oracleDepartmentId":"5500","oracleClassId":"30","oracleBuyerId":"66","oracleClassName":"TEEN","oracleDepartmentName":"TEEN","oracleClass":null,"oracleDept":null,"oracleHold":null,"erpSalable":false,"erpRequiresStockToSell":true,"erpVersion":0,"erpUpdatedAt":"2023-02-09T05:16:33.000-07:00","acumaticaBrand":"COVENANT","erpCreatedAt":"2021-07-30 16:48:38 UTC","optionValues":[{"id":10,"name":"CD","presentation":"CD","optionTypeName":"Book Format","optionTypeId":1,"optionTypePresentation":"Book Format"}]}],"additionalDetails":"","producers":[{"id":18224,"parentId":1,"position":0,"name":"Kathi Oram Peterson","permalink":"author/kathi-oram-peterson","taxonomyId":1,"lft":32294,"rgt":32295,"iconFileName":"Kathi_Oram_Peterson.png","iconContentType":"image/png","iconFileSize":674307,"iconUpdatedAt":"2023-01-27T11:24:34.922-07:00","description":"Kathi Oram Peterson learned to write the hard way, by spending years practicing her craft. Her path to publication took a detour as she raised her three children. During those years, she read all the how-to books on novel writing that she could find. When her last child graduated from high school, Kathi returned to college and earned her BA in English. She was fortunate to do an internship for the University of Utah’s Continuum magazine, where she learned to edit and write articles in the “real” world. Shortly after graduation, she was hired by a curriculum publisher to write and edit concept and biography books for children. She worked shoulder to shoulder with artists and computer programmers as she watched her children’s stories come to life. But the desire to write full-length novels called to her. Upon leaving the workforce, she focused her attention on writing romantic suspense and YA time travel novels. The thread she sews in both genres is faith in a higher power. She currently resides in Salt Lake City. You can contact her through her website, www.authorkathiorampeterson.com. And please feel free to sign up for her newsletter http//eepurl.com/cE52Y1.
