(3) 4-6 Keepers series. Illustrated by Iacopo Bruno. In the third Keepers book, Chloe and Horace realize their Tan'ji (talismans) may be losing power. Meanwhile, after rescuing April from evil Dr. Jericho, the kids reunite with elder Wardens to unravel the ongoing war between Keepers and the Riven. Sanders's appealing characters and engaging story line keep the middle-grade fantasy series going strong.

(3) 4-6 Keepers series. Illustrated by Iacopo Bruno. New Keepers Horace (who can see the future) and Chloe (who can become incorporeal) are joined by April, who, having found a piece of vine-like jewelry that gives her the ability to understand animals, is being hunted by the Keepers' greatest enemy: the Riven. This hefty second volume further develops the intricately designed fantasy world populated with likable and engaging characters. Glos.
