Daphna and Dex, almost 13-year-old twins, are looking forward to their very important birthday. But their dad has just returned from a book scouting expedition, and he seems a bit distracted. They're not even sure he will remember the birthday that he has always talked about as being so important. Upon his return, Daphna takes her dad to her new favorite place: a huge labyrinth of a bookstore. He takes with him a mysterious book that he discovered on his expedition, and they meet a very old, mysterious man at the bookstore. This man seems to have some special powers over her dad, and seems to really want this book. Daphna is not sure why, as it just looks to be a book with a bunch of nonsense words to her. Daphna, Dex, and their dad wind up in a heap of trouble, all because of this weird book of nonsense. Will they be able to celebrate their 13th birthday as they always thought they would? Will they be able to escape with their lives and sanity? Will they discover the meaning behind the book?If you and/or your kids are fans of the Harry Potter, Golden Compass or Molly Moon series', you will really enjoy The Book of Nonsense. It is the first of what will be a series of 5 books by local author, David Michael Slater.
