The Guardian

Matt Walker

The Guardian is an adventure story of self-belief and the strength of the human spirit. Can Earth survive a war between two spiritual realms?


12-year-old Ella Barrotti worries she's going mad - she keeps seeing spiritual beings (who, by the way, seem less mature than she is). She is being dragged into a war between the spirit world and the void of Antifaith, and success or failure is balanced precariously on a knife edge. The Darkness has come for her. It is unfortunate then, that What Was Written has assigned to her a guardian angel that is completely useless. A war is coming. The Guardian has received great reviews, including: "An intriguingly creative tale of good and evil... The Guardian is filled with twists and turns... The concept is inventive and I thoroughly enjoyed the story and Walker’s humor. I look forward to future works! (83%)" - Holly Christine at http://www.hollychristineonline.com "I really enjoyed it... A fast paced, emotive book. One that should appeal to a wide range of audiences, teenagers, and adults alike. (83%)" - Phil Owens at http://www.kopek-publishing.com/blog_review/?p=452 A "Compelling story..." (75%) - James McCormack, www.amelorn. wordpress.com

A beautifully crafted, elegant story. It almost has a poetic feel to it, not only through your writing but also through the subject matter. I liked it immensely, and think it's appeal would be even greater to a slightly younger audience. view book

This is a well-written, fast paced story - there's a good mixture of longer and shorter sentences and everything is tight. It has an exotic quality to it - a feeling of the unknown that just adds to the tension. And the names aren't too outlandish to be unpronouncable! view book

This was like reading a dream - that's the best way I think I can describe it. Beautifully poetic and refreshing - oxymorons such as "his voice soft and fierce" shouldn't work in prose but here they do. Faith and the human spirit seem to play a large part in this story, as it does in mine. Serene... view book

This is extremely well written - usually I have things to comment on that I think could be improved, but not here. Your description is creative and illustrative without being purple and adorned with too many adverbs etc. Your writing is tight, your dialogue well structured and above all it is funn... view book

Rocky, you sure no how to tug at the heart strings! Some really nice writing in there pal; emotionally high charged and gripping. You even managed to keep the potentially cheesy ghost scene tight and touching. Love it. view book
