BOOK NAME: Shepherd’s Quest: The Broken Key #1
AUTHOR: Brian Pratt

Chad Kelon and Riyan Borenson dreamed of nothing but adventures. They continuously tell each other stories of themselves rescuing fair ladies and defeating monstrous creatures. Then there was Bartholomew Agreani who is known as Bart. He is one of Riyan’s new friends and is handy with all sorts of tools used by thieves.

Accidentally, Riyan stumbles upon a cave which contained a few copper coins worth a lot of money. Unsure of what other treasures might remain deep in the cave Riyan informs Chad and Bart of his discovery leading to an adventure beyond their imaginations and their made-up stories. Along the way, the boys meet Kevik, a magic user.  They have courage and bravery while they suffer the loss of many things, but they also benefit in the discoveries that they find.

When I read the summary on the back of the book and saw the cover I wanted to read this book. It seemed mysterious and maybe kind of scary. I read it to discover that it wasn’t scary at all. I think the vocabulary in this book is geared more for readers 10 and up. Shepherd’s Quest: The Broken Key # 1 is the first of three books. I found this book intriguing so I am going to read the other two in the series.

    2Whitie, a magic user? A magician. In the book they aren’t called magician so I didn’t write that in my review. Thanks for asking! The cover, spooky? Nah, the book gave me the chills at some parts, but not spooky! lol
