Secrets of a Noble Keykeeper
.jpg)
Summary:
Reality depends a great deal upon one believing what he sees—or seeing what he believes. Either way.
Meet Gavin, a curious young man whose calling it is to guard the gates of his homeland. As a keykeeper, Gavin comes across many outsiders whom he creatively steers away from the borders of his magical world: A world where ogres bowl for their dinner. A world where pirates sail the clouds to plunder diamonds from the night sky. A world where bubbleberries make a person burp out loud. It is a place where anything imaginable is commonplace. All the while, the young keykeeper finds himself increasingly intrigued by stories of the outside. Snooping about, he is captivated by a dreamer who piques his interest in the ordinary.

Fantastically written and a well built world. Gives room for the imagination while providing an excellent story. Read it and would recommend to any active thinkers.

Peter Pan Meets The Never Ending Story
5 out of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this! It feels like reading your favorite fairy tale, but also manages to be completely unique. Peter Pan meets The Never Ending Story, if you will. The illustrations at the beginning of each chapter are beautifully done and add nice visuals to the story. This would make a wonderful series. I'm left wanting to know more about Gavin and explore the world he dwells in. I will definitely be purchasing Dandelions, The Disappearance of Annebelle Fancher... which apparently accompanies this book... as well as checking out Richelle's other work.

Full of Adventure!
5 OUT OF 5 STARS
This book is full of amazing stories full of adventure. I read this book as an adult and found the stories exciting. With pirates, monsters and anything you could dream up, this book has it. This would be great for children 5 and older, though a child would need to be older to read by himself. I highly recommend this book.

Good, Old-Fashioned Fairy Tale
4 out of 5 stars
This book brought me right back to my childhood. It's a good old fashioned fairy tale, with big bad wolves, pirates and swashbuckling, bears, and little girls running around the forest with red riding hoods on. It's a chapter book, but each chapter is reasonably short, and upon reflection, I think it would be a perfect story for parents of young kids to read to them at bedtime, or for slightly older kids to read themselves.

Just WOW!!
5 OUT OF 5 STARS
WOW!! I have to say that I was very surprised as Orphan Moon was. (It) was not what I expected, it was way way better. I didn't finish it in one sitting but I have to say that it was hard to put down and a joy to pick back up. Great job! I won this great book on GoodReads and like I do with most my wins I will be paying it forward by giving my win either to a friend or library to enjoy.

Loved It!
5 out of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this book. I loved it when I saw the cover. The rest of it did not disappoint! This book, unlike some of Richelle Goodrich's other books, is more geared to a younger audience. It is a new fairytale, with a few other fairytales intertwined. There are fun illustrations at the beginning of each chapter. There is mystery and intrigue throughout the book. Good for all ages.
