Keepers Trilogy series.
In the final volume of the trilogy, Goldie, Toadspit, and Bonnie return to the city of Jewel only to find that the villainous Fugleman has made himself Lord High Protector. If the plotting and characterization falter just a little bit, the book's minor stumbles are more than compensated for by an evocative setting, a unique cast of characters, and a satisfying conclusion.

Keepers Trilogy series.
On the trail of Toadspit's kidnapped sister, Goldie Roth (Museum of Thieves) must navigate a strange city during the Festival of Lies, when everything is topsy-turvy--especially the truth. Tanner's storytelling remains just as accomplished as in the first book, and the series' tantalizing mysteries deepen; a cliffhanger ending concludes the volume.

Keepers Trilogy series.
Natural-born thief Goldie Roth runs away to the Museum of Dunt, a haven for wild things and magical creatures. Repeated intrusions by the wicked Fugleman's henchmen threaten the museum's delicate balance; it takes all of Goldie's ingenuity to restore order. Tanner's strong fantasy adventure features an intriguing setting, interesting characters, a riveting plot, and an engaging narrative style that keeps the pages turning.
