In The Lost Stone, did you enjoy ...
... a clear, clue-driven quest to recover a lost royal treasure?
The Princess in Black by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale
If you loved how Prince Lucas and Clara set out to find the queen’s missing jewel—following leads, sneaking off, and solving small problems along the way—you’ll get a kick out of The Princess in Black. Princess Magnolia has a secret mission of her own: slipping out of the castle to track down and stop a goat-eating monster. The brisk, mission-focused chapters and satisfying “find it, fix it” beats scratch the same itch as the hunt across Wrenly.
... whimsical, friendly magic that helps rather than harms?
Dragons and Marshmallows by Asia Citro
In The Lost Stone, the magic you meet—whether it’s helpful creatures or gentle enchantments—feels friendly and fun. Dragons and Marshmallows delivers that same vibe: Zoey discovers a tiny, sick dragon on her porch and uses curiosity, kindness, and a few marshmallows to help. Like Lucas and Clara’s encounters with magical folk, the wonder here is light, welcoming, and problem-solving rather than scary.
... bonding with dragons and other helpful creature friends on the journey?
Rise of the Earth Dragon by Tracey West
If the friendly creatures who aid Lucas and Clara on their search were your favorite part, you’ll love Rise of the Earth Dragon. Drake is whisked to a castle, learns he’s a Dragon Master, and forms a loyal bond with an earth dragon named Worm. Like the helpful magical allies in The Lost Stone, Worm isn’t just spectacular—he’s a true companion who helps solve problems and keeps the adventure upbeat.
... a warm, low-stakes adventure in a welcoming kingdom?
Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George
Enjoyed the cozy feel of roaming Wrenly with Lucas and Clara, where every stop brings a friendly surprise rather than grim danger? Tuesdays at the Castle has that same inviting spirit. Princess Celie maps a living castle that grows new rooms and hallways, and she and her siblings use its playful magic to outwit schemers. It’s full of gentle suspense, clever problem-solving, and the kind of comforting wonder that made the jewel-hunt so fun.
... a growing friendship between a royal and a commoner who rely on each other?
The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald
If what charmed you most was how prince and commoner—Lucas and Clara—become true partners on their search, The Princess and the Goblin offers a classic kindred bond. Princess Irene teams up with Curdie, a miner’s boy, to uncover a goblin plot. Their friendship bridges different worlds, just as Lucas and Clara do, and key moments—like Irene following a mysterious thread to safety—echo the trust and teamwork you enjoyed.
