THE KING OF ARUGULA (BOOK ONE: THE HOLE STORIES)

On the way home from my Uncle Sol's funeral I fell into a deep, dark hole. At the bottom of that hole I met a strange, smelly man named R.E. Flex. I asked him how he ended up in the hole...and so began the tale of Onus and Twig, two ten-year-old boys on a quest to find the one-eyed giant who sold Onus's mother the tomato that made Twig go blind. Along the way the boys cross a vicious hyper monkey, plagues of locusts, a museum of human legs and a man so villainous a simple description of the terrible things he does would give you nightmares for weeks.

FOWL, SWINE AND THINGS THAT SEND SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE (BOOK TWO: THE HOLE STORIES)

Onus and Twig just want to get home and go to bed after all that happened in Arugula. But a run in with a cat named Lemy sends them far off course...so far in fact, they end up in a strange town called Cygnus Monde, where the streets are overrun with hair-stealing swans and the residents are oddly fixated on one thing...a place called Tchaikovsky’s. When Twig catches a mean itch and refuses to move because of how uncomfortable his head is, Onus must leave his friend and find a cure. Along the way he finds a pigpen full of kids, a man dressed up like a pack of gum, a shop filled with animals that look like statues, worms the size of jet airplanes and a “next to impossible” truth that puts the “hole” situation in perspective...terrible itches and strange residents are the least of Cygnus Monde’s problems.
