Synopsis

Keri Cleary is worried about her brother, Alistair. Everyone is worried about Alistair. As the one witness to a shooting, he has been shocked into silence. But everyone needs to know three things: Who shot Kyle Dwyer? Where is Charlie Dwyer? What does this all have to do with the disappearance of Fiona Loomis? Perhaps the answers lie in stories. As Alistair makes strange confessions to his sister, Keri becomes inspired. She tells stories, tales that may reveal hidden truths, fiction that may cause real things to happen. In the concluding volume of the Riverman Trilogy, readers are asked to consider the source of inspiration, the borders of reality and the power of storytelling. They are asked to forgive monsters, to imagine alternate dimensions, and to believe in a phosphorescent wombat who assures us that gone for now is not necessarily gone for good. The Storyteller by Aaron Starmer is the thrilling, thought-provoking conclusion to an unforgettable series, the Riverman trilogy. “Original and uniquely satisfying … a great recommendation for fans of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game or Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time.”—School Library Journal, starred review

Goodreads review by Mbobrosky

Imagine a 62 year old man just finishing The Storyteller and unable to control his tears. The ending was satisfying, not particularly sad, why the tears? First, a brilliantly written trilogy was coming to an end. Words, carefully chosen, provided me with many quotes worth saving. The last one I saved......more

Goodreads review by Hannah

I have to admit, I was skeptical about Keri taking over as narrator of this book. I felt like she'd been out of things for so long that she couldn't possibly be a narrator I'd care about... but I think it was her stories that really reeled me in, especially with the way that they gave so many differ......more
