Curse

This full-length novel continues the adventures of the keepers, including Kinlea Keeper, first introduced in the book by the same name. The original, well-loved characters are all grown up, new characters are introduced, and the stakes are much, much higher.

Young Curtis “Curse” is the new keeper of Barren Hollow, but he’s also captive of the Witch of Barren Hollow, and all his guardians, magical humans given the duty of protecting a Keeper, are missing, scattered and broken by the Witch. Curtis is only 7, and a bit of a magical prodigy. He’s also lonely, afraid, and far from home. Kinlea agrees to help him find his missing guardians, and in doing so, save Curtis’s baby sister from a curse. They travel from England all the way to the Swiss alps, meeting a dizzying array of magical creatures and discovering how magic works in different places. This series is a treat for Diehl’s handling of magic and magical creatures from different cultures, as well as her deft weaving of old ballads, poetic prose, traditional magical creatures, and great characters with a compelling plot.
