The Dexter Quigly Codices (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780988393806)

Thirteen-year-old Dexter Quigly's mind has just been blown like a chemistry project gone horribly wrong. He's always lived life by the simple laws of logic and rationale, but now that a raven from his dreams is sitting on the windowsill, those laws no longer seem to apply. The raven leads him to a stone covered in ancient symbols, and the Native American hieroglyphs catapult Dexter into a code-breaking treasure hunt that tells a history of the world far from that described in his history books. He discovers a tree that gives him the ability to talk to animals and learns he's the first human being to do so in over a hundred years. The clues were left by the last "speaker" and it seems they were left specifically for Dexter. Can he fulfill the prophecy and revive a dwindling secret society when the world needs it most? Or will the Animal Kingdom fall prey to conspirators in its most dire hour? While grounded in reality, The Dexter Quigly Codices takes mythology, puzzles, and alternate histories and mixes them into an unforgettable adventure that will have you riding the edge of your seat till the very end.
