Customer Reviews

A thoroughly good read.

Books like these ought to be on everyones book shelf. 'The Forest Keepers' is a very good novel that cleverly blends story with social themes. The characters are real flesh and blood that exist in the real world, and not sterotypes. The plot is original with clever twists at every corner and you can't help but be curious as to the outcomes, most of which will surprise you. It's only after you've finished turning all the pages do you realise how well the author had you hooked.

A book with a unique plot

I enjoyed "The Forest Keepers" very much. It has a very good plot with interesting characters and some wonderful twists. I think this is the kind of book that children would want to read and adults would want to read for themselves and to their children. I read it in no time at all and I think good books do that, just carry the reader along.

A wonderful story for all

~Before giving this book to my daughter I took the time to read it myself. And I did it within no time. It held me from beginning to end without pause. This is how a book should be written. The scenes are set well so that one knows where the story is taking place and the characters become your friends in the first page itself. The story about three children trying to save a forest from deforestation, help a small c disappearances of fruits and animals from the forest is unique and completely original. Carl Gordon is a very creative writer with an eye on society and his story cleverly blends the ways of the real world with fantasy. When you read it you'll know what I'm talking about. This book is ideal for both children an adults. Highly recommended!
