Fourteen yr-old orphan, Cassandra Stone, had a miserable childhood being shuffled between foster homes, always alone with only a grocery-bag of clothes and a growing rock collection. At twelve, she is finally adopted, but tragedy strikes again when at fourteen, she discovers she is a fairy and in the wrong world. She vows to use her new found magical power to bring back home to Peridonia, all the other orphaned fairies in the human world to where they belong. Fortunately the enchanted Kingdom of Peridonia is camouflaged right across the street. Two parallel worlds, one human-one magical on the same street.

Escape to Peridonia is the first book in the young adult fantasy fiction series, Adventures of the Stone Collector by Pam Van Scoyoc and Pam's debut YA novel.
