Marni (wonderwmn999) The group has been approached by author M.J. Webb for a Read 4 Review of his book The Keeper of the Stones by M.J. Webb The Keeper of the Stones (Jake West #1).

The Jake West Trilogy was penned by M J Webb for his children. The epic fantasy novels are aimed at readers from twelve and over.

When fifteen year old Jake West and his best friend, Ben Brooker, help Jake's grandfather clear his attic of the junk he's collected from his years of travelling, the boys discover an old chest containing a beautifully carved wooden box. The box contains a set of five mysterious stones and, when they erupt to emit a bright beam of light, it sparks an epic journey which will lead Jake into a dangerous world and to the discovery of some strange family secrets. The future of our world and countless others now lies in the hands of a fifteen year old boy. If he can't protect the stones.....

Yvette Calleiro (yvettemcalleiro) | 99 comments I would LOVE to have all 3. If we read all three, does the first review have to be done by the deadline date, or do ALL 3 reviews have to be done by then? Either way, I'd love them all. ymcteach@aol.com :-)


message 11: by Marni (new)

Marni (wonderwmn999) If you want all three than you must request on each R4R topic AND all are due on the same deadline.


message 12: by Marni (new)

Marni (wonderwmn999) Email have been sent to everyone on the reviewers list at the bottom of the main topic. If you did not receive, check your spam and check your email address for typos before letting me know it was not received.

Those that requested all three books, but did not request on all three topics have only been sent the first book. Read the email to see what you need to do.

Thanks!

M.J. Webb (mjwebb) I know there are a few reviews outstanding but I wanted to thank you all for reading and appraising my books.
It was a tall order to read three large novels in such a short space of time and I am genuinely in awe of you all for taking on the task. I also know how hard it is to rate books which form part of a trilogy, as you never know if your questions or doubts will be answered by book two/three etc, etc...
It's been a wonderful experience for me and I have learnt a lot. I will take all your comments on board gratefully.
So, once again, thank you all and the very best wishes to you and yours.

M J Webb
