      An image of a fluffy, four-legged animal with a black nose and pointy horns popped into Garson's head.  It seemed to happen whenever he was having doubts about the challenges he’d taken on (or mess he was in).  Biggest of all was the promise he’d made at the glacier to Buddy when she asked, “Will you stop the warming?”

          This story of hope, perseverance, friendships, and finding one’s purpose—with a subtext of climate change’s effects on the alpine environment—will leave a lasting impression on every reader.

What others are saying about The Promise:

     "This fast-paced story will inspire boldness and determination to discover and protect our natural world.  It captures the big picture but also the energy, hope and joy of coming together to beat the odds." -- Catherine Barr, children's author of The Story of Climate Change

     "All three novels in the Legend Keepers trilogy combine adventure, passion, love of nature, and fear of its degradation with young readers’ growing concern for the state of nature and the future in a rapidly changing world."--Jane Ekstam, author of the middle-grade eco-adventure series Katja's World Game
