Secret of the Spiritkeeper Book Review

This story is about the adventures of Kellach, Driskoll and their friend Moyra. It tells about the first of many adventures that they have. Kellach is a wizards apprentice . Driskoll wants a sword really bad. Moyra is a young thief who lives with her parents in a small rundown house. Kellach and Driskoll live in a big house because their dad is leader of the watch. The watch is like the police. Kellach and Driskoll's mom was killed when the seal that connected their town to the dungeons of doom was broken. Tons and tons of demons and vicious wolves and goblins came through and killed tons of people including Kellach and Driskoll's mom. But if you want to find out more you will have to read the book. I think the author is trying to tell the reader that you should take risks and have fun adventures. I know that this is the message because they take tons of risks and vary dangerous tasks and adventures. Like when they go into the dungeons of doom they could just turn back and forget it but no they go ahead anyway and search for Zendric's soul. They know their task and they are going to stick to it. I like this book because it takes place in olden times when they used swords and because it has a little fantasy. I think you should read this book because it is very descriptive and definitely one of my favorites. I highly recommend it.

THE START OF A WONDERFUL NEW SERIES

Wizards of the Coast is best known as the makers of the enormously popular "Magic: The Gathering" collectible card game, "Dungeons & Dragons" role-playing game, and their related lines of fiction and home to top fantasy authors R.A. Salvatore and Margaret Weis. In 2004, however, Wizards decided to move into the realm of juvenile and teen fiction with the announcement of their Mirrorstone imprint. For the first two series under the Mirrorstone banner, they decided to stick with two subjects that they know very well: Dragonlance and Dungeons & Dragons. Knights of the Silver Dragon is a Dungeons and Dragons series aimed at readers 8 - 12 years in age. The stories center upon the exploits of three young heroes in the town of Curston. Kellach, is a teenaged apprentice to the town's most powerful wizard, Zendric. Kellach's brother, Driskoll, is an adventurous 12 year old who dreams of becoming a great warrior like his father Torin, the captain of the Curston's town watch. The brothers are joined by their friend Moyra, a young female thief and daughter to one of Curston's most well known thieves, Breddo. In the first book, "Secret of the Spiritkeeper", Kellach is joined by Driskoll as he goes to Zendric's tower for his daily lesson in the art of wizardry. However when they approach the tower they find the door wide open, highly unusual for Zendric. When they enter, Kellach finds his mentor lying on the floor, apparently dead. The tower has been ransacked and it appears that Zendric was the victim of thieves but Kellach finds that the only item that is missing is a strange, glowing orb that Zendric kept upon his mantle. Soon, the boys father, Torin, shows up with several watchers to investigate and sends the boys home immediately. Kellach believes that the orb has something to do with Zendric's death and believes that he can be restored to life if they find it. After sneaking into the city prison to speak to Moyra's father, they find out that it was a half-orc street thug who stole the orb. They track him down but find that he has already sold the orb to a group of adventurers who have left town. They are headed to the Dungeons of Doom, whose denizens have troubled the people of Curston for many years and is the reason that people are not permitted to leave their homes after dark. Torin is furious with his boys when he finds out what they've been up to and forbids them to leave the house, but Kellach knows that they are Zendric's only hope, so they sneak out of house to save him. Now the three friends must enter the depths of those dangerous, trap-filled, underground passages, facing terrible creatures in order to find the magical orb that will hopefully restore Zendric to life. Reading "Secret of the Spiritkeeper" takes me back to the earliest days of when I first played Dungeons & Dragons back in the late 1970's. In fact the adventure that these three companions went on was not unlike many of the early, low-level adventures

Secret of the Spirit Keeper

Secret of the Sprit Keeper by Matt Forbeck is the first book in the series Knights of the Silver Dragon. It is a story about a young thief named Moyra, a wizard's apprentice named Kellach, and his 12 year old brother Driskoll. These three kids travel all over Cruston, Broken Town, and The Dungeons of Doom looking for the Spirit Keeper which someone has used to steel Zedric's soul. They work together to fight evil, try to save their friend and become Knights of the Silver Dragon. But can they get back to save their friend in time? I loved this book. It is filled with suspense, action, comedy and a few twists. It is one of my favorite books. It is really fun to read about all of the characters and their fun personalities! I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series Riddle in the Stone written by Ree Soebee.
