Keeper of the Lost Cities is about a girl who has a bit more to herself than she ever knew. Later, she travels to a different world, finds out she’s not human, and discovers a lot about herself in a very short time. 

Name: Keeper of the Lost Cities

Author: Shannon Messenger

Series: 7 books, so far

Length: The first book has almost 500 pages. The seventh book has almost 850 pages. Each book gets a little longer.

Main Character: Sophie

Fantasy: Yes, definitely. The characters’ powers are within and they develop when characters are about 11 to 13. The book is full of new ideas, not typical fairy tale magic. There is an alicorn that Sophie finds and takes care of.

Violence: There are no modern-day guns. More like swords and daggers. They have something like their own kind of gun, but it’s very different. It only stuns or makes others unconscious. It can injure but it doesn’t kill. Characters get hurt but most of them always recover. A few die. This book is not as violent as Percy Jackson.

Bedtime reading: Yes. I read this book before bed. It didn’t creep me out.
