The Search for Macadamia: a Quest Most Noble
That’s what Spencer Delucian wants to know.
On his twelfth birthday, his dad sends him off with his chatty terrier on a global expedition to rediscover the lost city of Macadamia—a place no one has heard of.
Spencer knew there’d be dangers, but he never imagined he’d earn a new bloodthirsty enemy at every stop.
Nonetheless, it is a noble quest. Really.
Well, mostly. There is some larceny, but only from bad guys. And some accidental swindling. And one or two broken bones.
But with courage, cunning, and help from his friends . . . it still might not be enough. Because what if Macadamia isn't even real?

I'm acquainted with the author and did some web development work for him.
Alone, this is an exhilarating ride with humor, creativity, and wild twists and turns.
I'm aware that this book is one of two tellings of the same story, what the author calls half of a parallel duology. I've yet to read the other book, but I must applaud the author for his ambition in creating someone so unique.
High marks just for that. But this book was a great ride.
