review 1: This is the first book that I've had time to read in a while, life having taken over somewhat, and it was just what I needed.The Keeper and the Rune Stone is a story full of magic, mythology, and little twists and turns. In many ways it reminded me of the Chronicles of Narnia, albeit that the plots are quite different, the style being similar.The story itself is quite simple. A group of children become sighted, or aware, and are therefore caught up in the politics and battles of the creatures they can now see. Although there were some plot points that were possible to predict, this didn't detract from the novel at all which says quite a lot for the style of the piece.The characters themselves work really well, each one having a unique personality. I particularly like the w... moreay in which Pendleton managed to make the characters of the animals believable because, in general, talking animals aren't my thing as their behaviours are too cliché.Although this is probably a book aimed at children, and certainly is suitable for relatively young readers it is a book that I think can be enjoyed by anyone, if not because of the beautiful style, then because of the nostalgic feelings it awakens.
review 2: The Keeper and the Rune Stone is a wonderful story set in Camden Maine. This book is full of fantasy and mythical creatures. Nothing for parents to worry with I think this is a great story for the middle grades. Paige Pendleton has created a magical story with mystery, character and charm. I received a complimentary copy of The Keeper and The Rune Stone for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own and may be different from yours. Thanks less

A great read. I especially enjoyed the author's take on the origin of the vampire legends.

Enjoyable, I just wish it had been a project undertaken by a better writer.

It was light and enjoyable. Reminiscent of C. S. Lewis
