The Keeper of Edelyndia

Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked or doubts their own capabilities in a world that seems far too large. It is a perfect choice for the 'quiet' child who possesses a rich inner life but struggles to find their voice among more boisterous peers. Through the lens of high fantasy, the story validates the anxiety of being small while showing that true strength is found in character and persistence rather than physical stature. The story follows Toby, an ordinary boy who is whisked away to the magical realm of Edelyndia. There, he discovers he has a pivotal role to play in protecting the kingdom from a rising darkness. As Toby navigates a landscape of monsters and magic, he must grapple with his own fears and the heavy weight of responsibility. It is an ideal middle-grade read for ages 8 to 12, offering a classic good versus evil narrative that emphasizes the importance of self-belief and the power of a single person to effect change.
