Thank you to NetGalley, for a free download of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

There's nothing quite like an adventure read to brighten up a weekend! This book has all the things that make up an edge-of-your-seat story--treasure hunting, "pirates" mer-people, and three precocious 12-year old adventurers. Throw in a HUGE town secret, and you have "Keepers of the Pact."

One of the things I liked best about this story was that each of the three children played a vital part in the unfolding of the plot. Alastair may be the "main character," but he could not have succeeded in their mission, if it were not for his two best friends, Sadie and Ben. What begins as three kids on a treasure hunt, becomes MUCH MORE! (I won't say any more, because I don't want to give any "spoilers!")

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started this book, but I now know that the author delivered! Do yourself a favor and READ THIS BOOK! I know I will be looking for more books to read by Karen Kelloway!
