"The king would like you to make peace with the wood elves. Vixa will be your guide." "What's the trouble with the wood elves?" Evan asked. "They have waged war against us." Vixa placed her hand on her sword. "The elves feel we have taken their land. They attack our traders as punishment." "Well, did you?" Evan asked. "Did we what?" Tannis said. "Did you take their land?" "We cut down a few trees," Tannis said. "The wood elves think all forests belong to them. And their allies, the dwarves, try to claim our underground mines as their own. That's why we've had to bring in the trolls to oversee their work. The Kingdom of Bissel needs resources to prosper. We cannot be distracted by jealous creatures." "I'm more confused than ever," Cleo whispered. Evan hushed her. "This war needs to end," Vixa said, "especially with rumor of the Golden Dragon awakening." "The Golden Dragon?" Evan asked. "Have you never heard of the Golden Dragon?" Vixa looked shocked. "She's the most fearsome beast the land has ever seen. Larger than a mountain. Fiery breath that can melt solid stone." "Standing together, there is a chance we may defeat the dragon," Tannis said. "If we remain divided, we are all doomed." "Doomed is bad," Cleo said. "We must travel across the plains, through a mountain pass, and into the dark forest," Vixa said. Cleo brightened. "That seems okay." "The journey will be filled with foul beasts," Tannis added. "Ew," Evan said. "This should be a simple matter for a clever rogue and a powerful wizard," Vixa said. The glowing gem on her headband dimmed for a moment and she blinked her eyes. Tannis waved his hand and the gem glowed brightly again. "You must meet with the queen of the wood elves," Tannis said. "Offer her peace if she will join us. It is the only way we'll defeat the Golden Dragon and save both our kingdoms." The king moaned and Tannis murmured in his ear. "Now, go," Tannis said. "There's no time to lose."

Super Series

My 8yr old daughter happened upon the first Key Hunters book at a book fair at school last year in 2nd grade. We picked up the book by sheer chance and my daughter read the back cover. She seemed intrigued so we bought it for her. She flew through the book in 2 days and began BEGGING for the next book.

Since then she has finished the series not once but twice over. She absolutely loves this series of books. They keep her engaged and wanting to know what happens next. The series was our first step into chapter books in a series (meaning more than just 1 book). She has since become hooked on multiple book stories. This has all the things she loves in a story. Excitement, magic, mystery, and thrills!! I'm so happy we found this series.

My ONLY complaint about the series is that the books are rather, for lack of a better term, thin. They're so short that she blows through each book in a matter of a day or 2. Obviously this isn't anything worth less stars though. I'm thrilled to have found a chapter book series that has really fed her love of reading. I highly recommend these for any and all young readers.

Technically, I haven't read this. But my 6-year-old daughter did, and she was incredibly happy with it. She loves the series, in fact, and we're waiting patiently for the next one to come out!

The Key Hunters series has everything my daughter loves (adventure, comedy, imagination...) and everything that's important to me (strong female and African American protagonists, creative problem solving, good triumphing over bad...). Plus they're just fun to read -- for both of us! I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!

My 3rd grade class is loving these as read aloud books. We get to discuss each genre as we read another book.
