THE GENEVA PROJECT

The book starts with a girl in the Troian Center called Jane #65. This is because in the Troian Center a girl is Jane with a number while a boy is John and a number.

I found the story slow at the start but it soon picks up.  It is about a girl who learns who she really is and what she can do. I think it’s an amazing story.

The Black Stone Prophecy is a coming-of-age story where the main character (Tom O’Malley) starts off in the story as a quiet, outsider who doesn’t have close friends due to a recent personal tragedy, but as the story progresses he develops into a strong, powerful hero who develops close bonds with the other characters involved in the story. The plot is filled with inter-dimensional travel, super-powers and mutant dinosaur creatures which all combine to make a great read!

This book has few characters and is quite a simple book. The main character, Mark, has had trouble with the law and he lives with his Aunt and Uncle. The book starts off a couple of years after his Uncle's death and just as Mark is getting used to seeing a probation officer for previous offenses that are only clarified at the end. Up until this point the book is quite slow paced and very boring as well. Things get started when the probation officer suggests he work as a caddy at the golf course that apparently his offense was committed at.
