This is a first for us - a Tolkien-inspired fantasy adventure written by a 12-year-old who’s already showing notable story-crafting skills with her The Beginning of The Dark Ages fantasy debut, a novella that’s driven by struggles to overcome high-stakes obstacles, and the strength that comes from friendship. Set in the Lost Planet of ZX, it’s true to say that Ariana Liz Damiani’s book wears its inspiration on its sleeve — Ariana is clearly a devoted fan of The Lord of the Rings and this story, the first in a series, switches Tolkien’s ring quest to a mission to destroy “a small, very powerful, magical and really dangerous statue!” And it falls to young Tom to accept this task to save planet ZX. Thankfully, though, he has the guidance of a wizard who advises him that “you can’t do this by yourself, you need to choose some friends to help you finish this quest”.
