Ages 8-11 - Chapter Book Series - Reluctant Readers - Short Attention Spans - Courage

Grandpa's glowing books, heroes in danger, and a plunge into the pages. This funny, action-filled series is perfect for adventure loving fans of the Magic Treehouse.

My name is Riles, and I'm a hero. I don't have super speed, x-ray vision, or super strength. In fact, I'm a pretty normal fifth grader in every way except one - I'm a Story Keeper.Never heard of Story Keeping? No worries. I hadn't either. Then, grandpa opened that first magical book and the pages glowed. Awesome, right? Sure, until I had to help a space dude recover his memory and battle intergalactic pirates. Those guys have sweet blasters, but they're super grumpy. Don't worry, I'll tell you all about it right here in this book.

Note to ParentsWelcome to Books 1-4 The Story Keeping series follows Riles and his siblings through adventures into grandpa's glowing books - helping heroes, and learning what it takes to be heroic in their own right. This series keeps it clean - no language, gratuitous violence, or romance - just kids on adventure, learning to face fears, be brave, and care for one another. Like The Neverending Story, it's been known to "pull in" the most reluctant readers...literally.

Book 1: Riles, Sissie, and Little Finn tuck in for story time at grandpa's house - and everything changes. Saving space spy Drift Elwick is only the beginning.
Book 2: This time, grandpa's keeping secrets. Riles meets a whiny prince, a wicked magician, and a dragon who knows about grandpa. Riles jumps into the story but he can't jump out. Sissie must find a way to save the story and Riles, before the Kingdom fall.
Book 3: Riles, Sissie, and Little Finn protect a crafty archaeologist as she tries to uncover the tomb of the Forgotten Pharaoh. Along the way, they discover surprising clues about their parents.
Book 4: Sick of being left out, Little Finn leaps into a book and lands in the middle of dark waters. When he's fished out by pirates, he must decide who to help, and which story to save. Will the dark water recede? Or will this story be the first to fall?Fans of this family-friendly, humorous series say:

"My son is in love, so happy to find a quality adventure book that keeps him reading."

"An immersive adventure that gave my daughter and I a magical experience."

"The Story Keeping Series is Magic Treehouse meets The Diary of a 6th Grade Ninja."

"Somewhere between The Boxcar Children and Harry Potter, this series follows a sibling set in and out of books, saving happy endings. A delightful read for middle grade boys and girls."
