What People Are Saying

"Kingdom Keeper is a beautiful, imaginative iteration of the classic hero's journey, with a solid fantasy world-build, and a steady pace of adventure. Odemog is a gentle giant of a hero once bullied for his difference who abounds with grace, strength and the quality young people today most need to see and emulate: empathy. As an educator, I applaud the author's message of connection and equality… Kingdom Keeper explores the fantasy tropes of good vs evil, protection of law and land and has deep roots in the works of Tolkien and CS Lewis, but the language has an accessibility that will engage upper elementary and middle school readers… Adults will enjoy Kingdom Keeper's lush world and developed key characters, and who doesn't want to read a book where the hero's bestie is a sassy talking squirrel?? Looking forward to the next adventure in the upcoming Kingdom Keeper: Rise of the Dragons!"

"A bold journey about efforts, relationships, connections and inner strength. A richness of friends who face difficult challenges together. Should become a movie!"

"I loved this story! Distant adventures, a band of friends on a journey, a destiny to live out, creatures and people united, and of course, a gentle giant with a heart of gold. The story is full of great characters and dialogue. The respect, friendship, and love between all are felt and experienced as the reader. As is the animosity for the bad guys. Similar to The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings books. Definitely recommend."

"This book was exciting and I love the mystical side of it. I found I wanted to keep reading to see what was going to happen next with Odemog, his trusty side kick Skeeter and his loyal allies. The author was very descriptive so you could imagine what everything looks like as you read. If you like adventure and have an imagination, this is the book for you. I can't wait for the next adventure for Odemog and Skeeter."

"Classic fantasy adventure set in the charming world of Mazgamor. I especially appreciated the underlying values of kindness and bravery that permeate the central characters, and the whimsy that a mischievous side-kick squirrel can add!"

"R.A. Dunne bursts onto the fantasy scene with Kingdom Keeper, a rousing debut packed with danger, humor, and heart. Kingdom Keeper is not just a rescue story, it's a story of the quiet power of hope."

"Kingdom Keeper is a thrilling fantasy adventure that blends royal intrigue, magic, and self discovery in a way that feels both timeless and fresh. It's perfect for readers who love destiny, adventure, and a touch of royal drama."

"A wonderful mythical story of beautiful kingdoms under peaceful rule, except one. A great example of joining together in battle to save the overall kingdom is refreshing! Leaves me hopeful they will catch Morzan in the next book!"

"R.A. Dunne does a wonderful job building a magical world filled with compelling characters, which made me eager to know how this remarkable adventure would unfold. Fun and fantastic read!!"

"Kingdom Keeper is an adventurous novel that pulls you in from the very first chapter. I enjoyed this from start to finish, and I will totally recommend it to people who like to get lost in their imaginations."
