The Book of Nonsense    
by David Slater         Mar08

  
Portland Tribune
 
David Michael Slater just completed a new literary fantasy adventure series [SACRED BOOKS] fraught with suspense, hidden clues, bizarre twists and an ancient book full of utter nonsense...Slater understands that the secret to capturing the interest of teens is to engage their curiosity and intelligence by hooking them with a blend of unusual references, mysterious clues and a dark, suspenseful plot packed with action.
 
Jim Tindall, Past President, Oregon Library Associatin

Slater's new release, The Book of Nonsense, is anything but; twelve year old twins Daphna and Dex, so different in so many ways, work to solve a word problem in the mirky worlds of book dealers and geriatrics. Seeking clues to the meaning of the arcane First Tongue, the two cross paths with alchemy, archeaology, and astrology and end up wiser and more sensitive to the deep bond that is curse or salvation to twins. This mystery, with its worlds of dusty book shops and musty nursing homes, is peopled by sages, epic heroes, and a plethera of archvillans.
