From School Library Journal Gr 4–6—Who wouldn't be intrigued by a sign with their name on it? Unfortunately, the sign middle schooler Horace F. Andrews sees from the bus window really says "House of Answers," and it leads to a place filled with precious few of those. What he finds are mysteries galore, including a glass box with very special powers that he seems destined to control. Horace becomes caught up in a centuries-long battle between the Makers and the Keepers, groups with very different ideas about who should control the magical artifacts called Tanu. Along the way he befriends Chloe, headstrong and breathtakingly brave, who has been dealing with magic by herself since she was a young child. Together, they join the fight to save Chloe's father and destroy one particular nest of evil, run by Dr. Jericho and his golem. Refreshingly, our hero comes from a healthy and happy home (though Mom has a few mysteries of her own). At just over 600 pages, this brick of a book starts slowly and gets a bit bogged down in vocabulary. Supporting characters add interest, and the magical world is full of detail and wonder. Fans of Harry Potter and Gregor the Overlander will find this one entertaining.—Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
Review "An epic adventure of self-discovery, magic, tragedy and blurred lines of loyalty for middle-grade lovers of fantasy." --Kirkus Reviews"Here's hoping The Box and the Dragonfly finds a large audience. It's a great find for readers who love to puzzle out the twists and turns of a story." --Common Sense Media "To say I enjoyed this book would be an enormous understatement. My only problem is that it doesn't come out soon enough for me to get my own hardocver copy and get copies of it in the hands of as many people as I can." --Katherine Megna, Children's Specialist, Books Inc. Laurel Village"The Keepers is a wildly original adventure, electric-paced and brain-bending, that will enthrall kids and adults alike." --Somain Chainani, New York Times-bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil"What we have here is a winding fantasy adventure that will appeal to readers of J. K. Rowling and Rick Riordan...I was left longing for the next episode." --The New York Times

It was an action packed and unique adventure and one I know any child (or adult) will enjoy.Right from the get go we are introduced to the action. The adventure begins when Horace sees a place that seems to have his name on it. He is on the bus though and decides that he needs to check it out the next day. So he gets off the bus early and goes in search of the shop. What he finds though is a strange place, with even stranger stuff in it. He finds the House Of Answers and from that moment on his world is nothing like he thought it was!Horace is a smart kid. When he is introduced to the House of Answers and given the gift of the box, he sets about exploring it logically, because magic isn't real right! He needs to find out what the box does himself, because those are the rules, so he does it methodically. Once he finds the truth though, he has to accept the knowledge of what his world really is. He questions everything still and I really liked that about him. He is smart, brave and loyal.Chloe knows what her Dragonfly does, because she has had it since she was 5 but she doesn't know what it really is and she has no idea what is really happening. I felt for Chloe and admired her. Her dad has changed lately and isn't a nice person so it falls to Chloe to look after her sister. She was strong as well and very brave.What I liked best about the book was the world building. I loved finding out about the devices and what they could do, I loved that the device chose the person and the person had to figure out how they work. It was fascinating! The author put so much into his world and story that it shows. It's well written and thought out and I look forward to reading more.Overall, The Box and the Dragonfly was an action packed and adventurous read. It's quite a long book but you don't feel it while reading. I was drawn into the book from the very first page and was carried along with the characters. What's not to like about a book that has magic, mayhem and mystery!! Cant wait to see what happens next.

Enticing world building for a new, challenging childrens' series By Patricia Chandler I'm a 63 year old Grandmother and retired science educator....and I LOVE this book. It didn't take long before I was fully immersed in the world that Mr. Sanders has created for Horace and his family/friends/mentors. At over 500 pages, it does remind me of Harry Potter in that the author takes his time in building characters and connections...everything is not obvious, nor is it quickly explained. Also, Horace is allowed to have a loving set of fairly normal parents...they do exist sometimes, you know. The story line around and the descriptions of the Box of Promises are not easy to grasp, but they encourage real thinking about the nature of time and decisions in the now affecting acts in the future. And the action is intense!My only complaint is a selfish one...the next in the series is not scheduled until Spring 2016 and although I wanted to buy my granddaughters the print version of The Keepers, the paperback of this first in the series is not scheduled for publishing until February 2016 (methinks I smell a marketing ploy, ah hah!)
