Product Description
When one of their number is kidnapped, Elspeth and the Misfits are forced to use their extraordinary mind powers to help the rebels in their struggle to overthrow the oppressive Council. But Elspeth has another problem to solve - she is still on her quest to destroy the Beforetime weaponmachines. To find a clue hidden deep in the past, Elspeth must travel the Dreamtrails, but her journeys are fraught with danger as she battles a terrifying winged beast intent on destroying her. Gradually Elspeth realises that her quest will take her back to Obernewytn, and it is here, in its past, as well as its future, that the answers lie.

This is a great and amazing book and i'd just like to say that it is the fourth one in the five part series so don't let that other review confuse you. Look forward to the fifth and last

...It's very good, just like the first two. Introduces a few new aspects, and expands on those already present.
Elspeth and Rushton start to realise how much they care for each other. But all the old enemies are causing more trouble, and now the members of the rebellion are causing trouble for the misfits.
Can the misfits prove they are of use to the rebellion, when so many believe them to be deformed children?
Very good, plenty of people will be eager to read this. A warning though, this is only the 3rd of 5 books. Could still take a long time before you hear the end of the story.

Amazing
29 Jan 2004
Format:Paperback
I began these books over a year ago and i fell instantly in love with them. I think that isobel carmody is an amazing writer, and i simmply don't understand how the fourth isn't published in the US (i spent a month's worth of alowance to get it shipped from australia).
The Keeping Place is the fourth book in the obernewtyn chronicles and easily the best. It follows the quest of Elspeth Gordie as she seeks to run obernewtyn and balance her personal quest to distroy the beforetime weaponmacihines. the reader will get gripped and puulled into the story. all of the characters are remarkably realistic and each has his or her own distinct personality.
my biggest complaint about this book is that i finished it, and the fifth one isn't out yet. more so than even harry potter, i wish that this author would get the next book published.

From the back cover--
4 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback
'Look out,' I screamed. The flying creature lashed out and I stared in horror at Rushton's bloodied arm. Maruman leapt between us in his tyger form. 'Let me go to him!' I screamed.
'He is a dream but the beast is not. It comes! Wake!'
After a kidnapping, Elspeth Gordie and the Misfits are forced to join the rebellion against the oppressive Council, using their extraordinary mind powers. But Elspeth must also seek out clues left by the long-dead seer, Kasanda, vital to her quest to destroy the Beforetime weaponmachines. One clue is lost in the past, forcing Elspeth to travel the Dreamtrails, stalked by a terrifying winged beast, with the cat, Maruman, as her guide and guardian. Only there can she learn more of the Beforetime Misfits and their enemy, Govamen.
Gradually Elspeth realises that her quest is intimately linked to the Misfits' refuge Overnewtyn -- its past and its future . . .

i love this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
Things move way more slowly in this book than they do in the previous three, and there are some parts where you get frustorated with the little amount of action in the beggening. BUT JUST KEEP READING IT, this book gets way more intereasting as carmody winds you through Elspeth's intrieging tale. The keeping place is defenitly my favorite book in the series.
