About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling physically sidelined or frustrated by health limitations and needs a hero who shares their struggle. Arthur Penhaligon, despite having a broken leg and chronic asthma, is whisked away from his hospital bed to face a nautical world of pirates and monsters. It is a powerful story about finding inner strength when your body feels like it is failing you. As the third installment in the Keys to the Kingdom series, this adventure dives into themes of responsibility and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. While the fantasy world is vast and sometimes complex, the emotional core is Arthur's grit. It is ideal for middle-grade readers who enjoy high-stakes adventure but also appreciate a protagonist who has to manage real-world vulnerabilities like physical disability and illness.
