Learning that mom and dad are more than just parents is a revelation to most children but for Alex Stone the surprise is greater than normal.  When Alex, a typical fourteen-year-old girl, finds herself magically transported to the Kingdom of Realm, she learns that her mother is no ordinary domestic diva but a Queen in exile.  Her mom’s royal status makes Alex a princess but Alex doesn’t let it go her head.

The adventure begins when Alex opens a portal that draws her into her family’s ancestral kingdom. Alex,  her best friend Sarah, her faithful retriever Butch, her pet squirrel Pops and their guide Jinx, a talking hamster, set out on a quest to find away to return home.  They travel through a wonderful world where the trees and the animals talk, the rivers run pink and not everything is as appears.

The foursome must make their way through the ancient family castle. The palace is a maze of dangerous creatures and magical perils. The outcome of the final confrontation depends on the answer to one question.  Alex will learn if family love is strong enough to overcome evil threatening Alex, her friends and her world.

Lea Schizas teaches young readers important lessons about courage, friendship and family in a fun, easy to identify with manner.  The magical world of Realm will appeal to the imaginations of the young and the adventurous of every age. Rock of Realm is a wonderful book for parents and children to read together.
