Suspenseful, action-packed, playful . . . these are some of my favorite rainy-day reading by far." Jennifer Fitz, Author of Classroom Management for Catechists and The How-To Book of Evangelization: Everything You Need to Know But No One Ever Taught You "A joy to read! The action in this book starts off at warp speed and amps up the warps as each chapter progresses . Hail to the Emperor of North America!" Kevin Vost, Psy.
