    About this ebook

    Not every adventure begins on a grand scale.

    This one in fact, begins in a quiet forest where a diminutive tribe of creatures dwell peaceably--well, not entirely peaceably as you will find out soon enough.

    They are known as "The Keepers" and no human has ever seen them.

    ...until now.

    "A Few Brave Keepers" is the latest children's adventure book by Minnesota writer Lucille Travis. She has been publishing children's books in the mainstream press for over 25 years including the Ben and Zack series and the Jean Marie series. Now for the first time she has decided to venture into e-book publishing with a you-just-can't-put-it-down tale that hooks young readers from the very first page.

    Cover art and illustrations by Laura Konyndyk.
