◆ BOOK DESCRIPTION: Imagine a magical raven leading you to a carved stone that sends you traveling through time! The Ravenstone! This is how the adventure begins for 13-year-old twins, Nadia and Aidan Shaw. Sent on a dangerous mission by a mysterious old shaman in a mirror, the twins plunge back to the 5th century, determined to retrieve a now extinct healing plant. They must depend on their courage, their faith in their friends, and luck… or is it destiny? If they succeed, they could change the history of the world. If they fail, they could be trapped in the past forever.

◆ EDITORIAL REVIEW: Top 1% Goodreads reviewer Dianne Bylo gives 5 STARS ★★★★★
"Simply magical!" What more can one ask for?" "Two delightful characters are given the opportunity to make a mark on the history of mankind." "Perfect for family reading, and will hold the interest of even the most reluctant of young readers!" ~ Review link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31427632

◆ EDITORIAL REVIEW: Successful author Linda Zimmermann gives 5 STARS ★★★★★
"Solomon and Carey's imaginative storytelling sweeps you into a fascinating tale of mystery and adventure. Young twins Nadia and Aidan stumble upon an ancient power that could help their family in the future, or trap them in the past forever. HIghly recommended" ~ Linda Zimmermann, author of 30 books about the paranormal and mysterious stone sites.

◆ SCHOOL TEACHER REVIEW: 5 STARS ★★★★★ "Practically Perfect." Reviewed September 2020
“As a former middle school English teacher who taught reading for more than 30 years, this is practically a perfect book for its target audience. The main characters, a boy/girl twin pair, are well-developed and easy to relate to and root for. And their adventures are perfectly-paced, complex, and intriguing. I look forward to more of these time-travelling-twins adventures in the future. A book I highly recommend... and not just to young readers.”

◆ CHECK OUT BOOK 2, The Twain: The sequel, "The Ravenstone: The Twain," takes Aidan and Nadia and on an even more dangerous journey. The twins experience a terrifyingly real vision of a massive earthquake which threatens their mother's life. The mission to save her grows in scope as they investigate, and their subsequent trips across time and space force them to face unimaginable dangers. They must rely on their growing skills plus all the powerful magic of the Ravenstone in order to stop the disaster facing the earth. Will they succeed? And at what cost?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and fascinating mystery-fantasyBy Wayne A. Lovett on September 26, 2016Format: Kindle Edition | Verified Purchase With time-travelling twins, Native Americans, Celtic princes, Shamans, a shape-shifting raven - this book is an imaginative, fun and fascinating mystery-fantasy. The main characters, 13-year-old twins, are honorable and courageous, and the reader really cares about them and roots for them. My grandson, who is 12, loved it, and asked it there will be another book with Nadia and Aidan.

    Diane began her career in the UK as a singer and songwriter on BBC TV. Then, traveling the world as an entertainer, the dreaded Chronic Fatigue Syndrome destroyed her career. She struggled for almost eight years, years of wading through half a life, finally regaining her health with the help of a homeopathic remedy. This launched Diane into new studies and a second career: homeopath and nutritionist, employing a combination of nutrients, herbs, homeopathic remedies, and diet and lifestyle recommendations.

    Now focused on writing, Diane lives in beautiful Hillsborough County, New Hampshire with her husband, Mark. Sometimes called a "Renaissance Woman," she writes, edits, researches, designs and builds gardens, always seeking more knowledge, more understanding, and more creative flow.

    Diane Solomon has seven books published by Eloquent Rascals Publishing in the genres of middle grade, non-fiction health books, and women's fiction:

    Non-fiction: "Healing Therapies that Work: The Natural Treatment of Allergies," "Healing Therapies that Work: The Natural Treatment of Ear infections," and "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Guide to the Homeopathic Treatment of CFS/ME." This book reached #1 in Amazon's homeopathic section.

    Middle grade: The “Ravenstone” series was written with her husband Mark Carey. The first is "The Ravenstone: The Secret of Ninham Mountain," and the sequel is entitled "The Twain."

    Women's fiction/romantic suspense: "88 Guys for Coffee" is a humorous women's novel about online dating.

    "Eva" is a love story with a supernatural twist, a contemporary romantic suspense novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and Suspenseful
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2023
Verified Purchase
This gripping and suspenseful novel has great pacing and is written in a fantastic middle grade voice. The characters are well drawn, full of interesting quirks and personalities that bring them to life.

The material is age appropriate, and the story is full of atmosphere. From a dusty attic full of secrets to caves and distant places, it was fun to travel around with the characters. I cared about what happened to them, and there were multiple storylines that I was rooting for to be resolved.

Although there is room for a sequel, things were tied up nicely at the end. This is a story with lots of depth that a middle grade reader would enjoy getting lost in. A good book!

I grabbed this book for my 11-year-old niece. She wanted to read something exciting, and this book didn't disappoint. The story's about these awesome 13-year-old twins on a wild adventure to save their dad and maybe even the world. It's packed with suspense and really lovable characters. She was so into it that she stayed up late to finish more chapters.

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2020

This is an amazing book! I love all of the simple details and the true information you can get out of it. From the romance to the dramatic and sad ending. Diane Solomon did an amazing job on this book, and I think she should make this a series where Aidan realizes that there are multiple rabbit-holes that take him to different times. Where he changes history in multiple ways. If Diane Solomon sees this, you rock man.

As a former middle school English teacher who taught reading for more than thirty years, this is practically a perfect book for its target audience. The main characters, a boy/girl twin pair, are well-developed and easy to relate to and root for. And their adventures are perfectly-paced, complex, and intriguing. The time travelling and the good vs. evil themes remind me of the book The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper. It will remind young readers who cite that as their favorite book of it also. I look forward to more of these time-travelling-twins adventures in the future. A book I highly recommend... and not just to young readers.

This is a fun, family-oriented Middle Grade book about twins who time travel. It's a feel-good story about courage and adventure and redemption. It all stems from a magical Ravenstone which send the kids back to the fifth century where they have adventures that involve Native Americans, Celts, and a magical raven.

I just finished The Ravenstone and absolutely loved it! It had time travel, magic, bears, Indians, good vs evil. Lots of fun! I hope that there is a sequel because I’ll be reading it. Great writing and great book for all ages. I’m 52 and a longtime reader and this book is one of the best for its genre that I have ever read. Great job!

I'm not finished yet, but I love it,It is so interesting I never want to put it down. She paints a clear picture of what life was like during that time period.
I also grew up in that part of the country and some of my relatives on my dad's side of the family are from Gateway and I believe my great Granddad, Lewis Lafayette Hall may have named Unaweep Canyon.(Not a 100% sure). I recognize some of the names of the people Margery mentions in her book.because my Dad has mentioned their names during the years I was growing up, for whatever reason I don't recall.
There is another book I am looking for that she may have written about the history of Gateway called "At One Point In Time, Gateway, Colorado." My brother has a copy and told me that I could buy one on Amazon, but I haven't been able to find one there.
Thank you Margery for writing your book...

A well told, wholly imaginative tale with very likeable characters that go on a unique, time travel adventure. This is the kind of book that encourages imagination in kids and inspires them to want to read more rather than making reading seem like a dull experience to the current generation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written story!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 6, 2020

Although this book is primarily for the younger reader, I believe that anyone would thoroughly enjoy this beautifully written story of Nadia and Aidan and their time travelling adventure. The characters are skilfully defined and the plot is not only exciting but packed with wonderful descriptions of locations. Any reader, young or older, investing their time in this book will be very much rewarded. I have already bought the second book, 'The Twain' and look forward to reading it very soon!
