The Lodestone Trilogy, by Mark Whiteway, is a science fiction book that borders on the lines of fantasy.  I absolutely loved the book and had a bit of a hard time putting it down.  It is stated to be a series, though you honestly need to read all three of the volumes in order to grasp the story line.  From what I can find, this is Whiteway's first book, and what a great job he did.  He was able to grasp my attention from the beginning and (in most cases) paint pictures of this brand new world for me, though at times, I did feel that the descriptions could have been a little better, it did not take away from the story line for me.Whiteway dives into a world of science fiction fantasy, where some characters like the Kelanni have green skin but are remarkably close to the human race, and some creatures are unimaginable other than the fact that they are grey and act with such grace.  I enjoyed the personality of each of the characters, though at times I just wanted to smack some sense into them.  Whiteway does a great job at making his readers love and hate a character all at once.  I recommend this book to any young reader, and have to say that I anticipate the next installment.
