Fantastic Series!

My 9 year old son read all 3 books in one weekend! Even thought Grammie & Grandpa were visiting he kept reading ... even through dinner out. I'm serious, he read in the car, in bed and even put down GameBoy for the entire weekend (he only gets GB on the weekend) to read the books! He was laughing out loud while reading and LOVED the characters. Said he wished the series was like Box Car Children because there are 100's of those books. I love the fact that he likes them and the lead character is a strong girl. YEAH!

the review of the Wizard's Scepter

when i finish this book, i think the book is very good. The story happened in the Eldearth, a eleven years old princess Nell is determined to be the next Imperial Wizard., but she has a brother, owen. He is better to be the Imperial Wizard in king's heart, because he is a boy. So Nell and her brother, owen, compete for the Imperial Wizard. Nell wants to provide that the girl can be the Imperial Wizard. However, the evil Lord Graieconn grows stronger. He want to extinguishing the Scepter of Light. All of the Eldearth worried about their peace. Nell must use all of her power and intelligence to stop the evil Lord Graieconn extinguishing the Scepter of Light. However, she doesn't have enough power, she undertands she need her brother's power.Although I am a boy, but I admire Nell who is a clever and brave girl. I think Nell and Owen can beat the evil lord Graieconn. 1/7/06 longme

The conclusion of Nell's saga

The evil Lord Graieconn and his allegiances of twisted Folk who call him their commander are growing stronger, while the current Imperial Wizard, the keeper of the Scepter of Light, continues to grow weaker. All of Eldearth is worried that their peaceful days are over. Eleven-year-old Princess Arnelle "Nell" who has overcome an extremely difficult task to be the next Imperial Wizard, must use all her intelligence and wit to stop the forces of the Dark Lord from extinguishing the Scepter of Light, which has always protected Eldearth from Graieconn. However soon Nell comes to the realization that she cannot do it alone. She must have the help of her twin brother Owen, her competitor for the title of Imperial Wizard. Can Nell and Owen work together to stop the dark forces? Will the two be strong enough? This was a good conclustion to the Keeper's Trilogy. This wasn't my favorite fantasy trilogy but did have a very headstrong heroine that will connect with many young girls. Though this series is reminiscient of other books I have read, it does have its own uniqueness in some areas. Its a good book to read for leisure. A definite recommendation.

Exciting conclusion to the Keepers trilogy.

The Imperial Wizard, Guardian of the Scepter, is dying, and all the good people of Eldearth are worried. If the Imperial Wizard dies without choosing a successor, Graieconn, the Lord of Darkness, will take over Eldearth and rule over it with an iron fist. Eleven-year-old Nell is determined to be the next Imperial Wizard, but her long-lost twin brother, Owen, is favored because he is a boy. As Nell and Owen compete for title of Imperial Wizard, time is running out for Eldearth. Will Nell be strong enough to fight the forces of evil? And what if neither she nor Owen is the promised one, destined to be Imperial Wizard? Readers who enjoyed the first two books in the Keepers trilogy won't want to miss the conclusion to Nell's adventures. I enjoyed this trilogy a lot, and I highly recommend it to young readers who enjoy fantasy adventures with strong girl characters.

Magic book review

This book was sooooo good! It really took me to an other world! As soon as I finished the series, I got jolted back to reality... I was pretty sad... Then I found a couple more cool books, (both series... wizard one and friends...) The Circle of Magic, Aragon, Dragons of North Chittendon, and A Glory of Unicorns. If you liked this book just as much, you might want to read these.
