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

I was hooked from the very first sentence - and the pace does not let up! Your writing almost bounces off the page. I can almost smell the gunpowder and hear the dodgy gangster accents. To me the story has great marketing potential. view book

I don't think I've come across a 'deeper' book. It's both rich and deeply sad. Its emotionally raw, and yet somehow soothing. Life is hard, but it is beautiful as well. That is the feeling I get. Impeccably written. 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
