Rowling and Rick Riordan."--New York Times Book Review "An epic adventure of self-discovery, magic, tragedy and blurred lines of loyalty for middle-grade lovers of fantasy."--Kirkus Reviews "The magical world is full of detail and wonder. Fans of Harry Potter and Gregor the Overlander will find this one entertaining."--School Library Journal "Sanders uses mystery, action, and suspense to intrigue readers. A rousing start for the Keepers series."--ALA Booklist "Ted Sanders combines elements of the best classic fantasy adventures with ingenious twists that are all his own."--Caroline Carlson, author of The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates series "The Keepers is a wildly original adventure, electric-paced and brain-bending, that will enthrall kids and adults alike.
