The Watch Keeper — Reese Haller

The Watch Keeper takes on the growing societal issue of school bullying as a young teen finds himself on a heros journey in which he metaphorically fights his own fear-generated demons, discovers his inner strength, and uses it to champion a noble cause. The unsuspecting hero is Romeo Planke, a high school freshman who is mysteriously thrust into an alien world where four-armed lizard-scaled warriors fight for control of an ancient portal that leads to galaxies across the universe. Romeo discovers that the power he possesses and how he chooses to use it in this alien realm is the key to saving the universe from impending doom. The Watch Keeper is the latest book by Reese Haller, one of the youngest award-winning published writers in America. This fast-paced sci-fi adventure novel conveys profound messages about bullying, violence, and community to middle-school and high-school students.
