Keeper of the Crystals is an adventure fantasy series full of secrets and mystery. What are the secrets of the Crystal Keeper and why does Eve have these powers? Read along as Eve and her friend Oscar are thrust into different and dangerous worlds. 

Eve and the Runaway Unicorn

Eve is staying with her grandmother and her only choice in playmate is Oscar, the boy from next door. The lure of the forbidden attic in her Nan’s house proves too much for Eve and Oscar and they sneak upstairs to explore. When Eve finds a small crystal figurine of a unicorn it acts as a portal into another world.

Eve and the Griffin's Gold

Eve knows that the life of a crystal keeper is filled with danger, but this time it’s close to home. When Eve’s Grandmother and her best friend Oscar visit Eve at home, a griffin calls for their urgent help. In Dracburn, the griffins are terrorised by greedy one-eyed men who will do anything for gold

Eve and the Fiery Phoenix

When Eve and Oscar are exploring an old curio shop, Eve finds a small crystal figurine of a phoenix. Before she realises what it is, she touches it and finds herself hurtling down a fast-flowing river towards a steep waterfall. It’s happening again!

Eve and the Hidden Giant

Eve is back in Marigold for the holidays. While out bushwalking, Eve, Oscar and Ingvar happen upon a strangely-shaped rocky outcrop. It looks like a giant’s chair, and when Eve sits in it, her hand touches upon a small crystal in the shape of a giant embedded in the rock.

Eve and the Mermaid's Tears

Eve and Oscar find themselves in a world where cut throat pirates rule the waves and where the language of the sea is the only tongue spoken. It’s the mermaids who need help. They’re being captured so that their tears can be sold as treasure. 

Eve and the Rebel Fairies

When Eve discovers a miniature pink door and a fairy crystal, something strange begins to happen. Behind the door Eve and her friend Oscar are greeted by a green-faced pixie, and taken into an enchanted world. Orla, Queen of the Fairies, asks Eve and Oscar to help stop two rebel fairies from destroying the Tree of Life. 

Eve and the Last Dragon

Eve turns up unannounced at her Nan's house with Oscar in tow. It's time to open the wooden box. The one her Nan had warned them was far too dangerous to go near. A crystal dragon figurine thrusts Oscar and Eve into a medieval world of dragon slayers, fire breathing dragons, castles and moats. It's a world at war.

Eve and the Kraken Hunt

During a walk to the headland near Marigold Beach, Eve introduces Oscar to her new friend, an endangered octopus she has been visiting for the last three days. But soon after, Eve and Oscar are transported to another world. Eve finds herself swaying to the rhythm of the ocean as she stands on the deck of an old wooden ship. Can she save the kraken from being hunted by sailors?

“I loved this story! With engaging characters and mythical creatures, Jess Black has written a fantasy series about problem solving from which we can all learn. I recommend this for readers 7 years – 100 years.”

“The books aren't preachy, though. The underlying lessons are lightly handled, well wrapped up in magic and adventure. And while little girls will love the resourceful Eve, there's enough action and danger to keep boys hooked as well.”
