How would it affect our own world if we suddenly lost all those familiar Arthurian stories about bold heroes and chivalrous behavior?

Middle-schoolers Gregory Guest and Yolanda Torres have no intention of becoming heroes overnight. But as the only kids in Bainesboro who see that the world has gone horribly wrong, what choice do they have? Aided by their eccentric science teacher and Gregorys trusty red monocle, Gregory and Yolanda travel into the King Arthur legend to save today's real world from a legendary threat. As they ally themselves with the magician Merlin and his young apprentice to thwart the sorceress Morgan le Fay, these reluctant heroes must set whole worlds right again.

The Taker and the Keeper paperback edition has received excellent Amazon and blog reviews.

Midwest Book Review: "Written to appeal to an audience age 8 and up, `The Taker and the Keeper� is part of an award-winning group of juvenile literature that promises to continue educating and enchanting young readers. The plot is tight, the writing is fluid, the action is packed, the suspense is palpable, and the novel ends with the three magic words `to be continued...� Three cheers and a heads up for the talented authors of the Red Monocle Series!"

Publications by authors Wim Coleman and Pat Perrin include a triple-award-winning historical novel, four books of retold myths and legends, contributions to two reference books on mythology, an imaginative investigation of unicorns, and a book of original myth-based plays. Their books for young readers appear in many school and public library collections.
