PRAISE FOR THE ELDRIDGE CONSPIRACY:
"This set of books just gets better and better. Yes, it’s a non-stop adventure, packed full of nasty barons and battling knights. But it’s also a story which is strongly-themed and where the bond between the characters is highly prized."
—The Wishing Shelf Awards Book Review
“Books of adventure and challenge that still offer an emotional component are hard to come by for middle-grade readers—and even more so for middle-grade boys—yet Don M. Winn hits the mark dead center with The Eldridge Conspiracy.”
—Patricia Reding, 5-Star Readers’ Favorite Book Review
“This is more than just a fictional story; it teaches children about life, about friendship, making decisions, and about not putting too much stock in pride all the time – sometimes pride gets in the way of making the right decision. Great story. I would recommend that the whole series be read in order to get the most out of it and I think all kids will enjoy this tale.”
—Ann-Marie Reynolds, 5-Star Readers’ Favorite Book Review
“The Eldridge Conspiracy was a rewarding read due to a wonderful writing style of incorporating dynamic characters, humor, relevancy, and the thought that even without superpowers, children can be heroes.”
—Stacey Waltzer, Urban Mommies

It’s that time of the year when summertime conjures up
magical days of make-believe and moments perfect for daydreams. As a child, and even now as an adult, I was
(and still am) an avid daydreamer. As a person who majored in English
Literature, I’m a sucker for a story about brave knights and tales of
adventure.
Well, this chapter book fit
the bill for both my past and present selves. And I had the wonderful
opportunity of reviewing such a book during my favorite time of the year:
summer, when it seems the magic of the golden sunshine can turn a story in the
pages of a book into a real-life adventure.
This charming chapter book is told from the point of view of
Reggie, a dyslexic boy who wants nothing more than to be a writer of chronicles
despite his learning difference. Through Reggie’s eyes, we see the story unfold
of how a group of friends can band together to fight even the most menacing of
foes to save their king and country from being overthrown by a treasonous baron.
Within the pages of this book, young readers will discover
adventure, mystery, loyalty, and friendship. There’s something in this book for
every reader. There are brave knights, both young and adult, there are castles,
ships, horses, abbeys, and midnight escapes from blundering bad guys.
What I really loved (besides the awesome, swash-buckling
story) was that there are lovely illustrations throughout the book, placed
almost strategically to give young readers a chance to pause reading and reinforce
the story with some visual imagery. Fantastic, I tell ya!
When I was a kid, I would have loved reading this book. I
won’t give away (too many) spoilers here, because this book deserves to be
devoured like a delicious piece of cake.
Needless to say, this book has a satisfying ending. And, no,
I won’t tell you how it ends. You’ll have to discover it by yourself.
What I will tell you is this- the author dedicates this book to all dyslexic and struggling readers. That endeared me immediately to this book and this author. Follow this blog tour and discover the study guide that goes along with this book. You won’t regret it!

Don has been writing for over 20 years. After beginning with poetry, Winn moved on to writing children’s picture books. Almost immediately, his growing young readers begged for chapter books, which led to the creation of the Sir Kaye series. As a dyslexic, who well knows the challenge of learning to love to read, Winn's goal is to write books that are so engaging they will entice even the most reluctant or struggling reader. Winn lives in Round Rock, Texas.
