The Portal Keeper

“Delivers what series fans have come to expect: fast-paced adventure, humorous banter, and tender explorations of Indigenous experiences.” —Kirkus Reviews “David A. Robertson’s novel The Portal Keeper, a remix of The Chronicles of Narnia set in Winnipeg, is an exciting new instalment that adds its distinct touch on the world that Robertson has been building on for the past four years.” —Northern News Service“The Portal Keeper is another excellent instalment in the Misewa Saga. Robertson’s increasingly masterful prose keeps readers engaged, curious, and on the edge of their seats.”—The Anishinabek News“This is an incredibly creative, gloriously fantastic tale that combines myth, Cree language and stories with fast-paced action, danger and triumph.” —Winnipeg Free Press”[H]onours traditional Indigenous culture, weaving it seamlessly into the narrative … continues to connect to current popular culture. Highly recommended.” —CM: Canadian Review of Materials“This book is action packed and reads like a Marvel movie. It can easily be read in one day as you will not want to put it down … [A] perfect gift for any bookworm in your life.” —The Suburban
