I did not enjoy the book and doubt many children will. Less than 30,000 words, The Mark of the Maker Stone needs work in so many areas. I tried to read this book three times, but failed.

Judging from his website, Daniel Corcoran has his heart in the right place. He has written and illustrated picture books, which may be good, and his author talks are enjoyed.

The Mark of the Maker Stone is written for Year 2 or Year 3 children, but the book is too long for this age group. I do not recommend it.
