One Stone Left Unturned — Marianna Heusler
At midnight on July 16th, 1918, Tsar Nicholas Romanov and his family were murdered, thus ending the Russian Empire. Historians believe that a peasant by the name of Rasputin was instrumental in the downfall of the dynasty. Because Nicholas thought that Rasputin could cure their son, Alexis, who was suffering from hemophilia, Rasputin was able to influence the Imperial Family.
But what if Rasputin's power did not come from God, as he claimed, but from a simple jewel, a tricolored, fifteen-carat tourmaline? And what if that very stone landed in the hands of a lonely teenager a century later?
The middle grade novel, One Stone Left Unturned is told from two points of view, two teenage girls, living in different times and different places leading parallel lives with parallel needs and desires.
