It is a land of WONDERS!
It is a land of MYSTERY!
It is a land that TIME FORGOT
(or chose specifically not to remember).
Cut off from the civilized world for untold years, this land is called:
D E L A W A R E .
It is into the mist-shrouded heart of this forbidden, mountainous realm that our plucky and intrepid heroes – Jasper Dash, Boy Technonaut, and his friends Lily and Katie – must journey to unravel a terrible mystery.
Come along on a tale of grand adventure that includes in its pages: Lost cities! Tentacles! Monks! Dinosaurs! Gangsters! Cheap suits! Eye doctors! And, of course, the fabled Curse of the Jaguar!

★ “Relentlessly imaginative and laff-filled … The invention never flags.” — Booklist, starred review
“Metafiction at its most weirdly satisfying …” — Kirkus Reviews
“Like the chums’ previous exploits, this off-the-wall parody of Stratemeyer-style series fiction features mock-heroic dialogue, breakneck chases and battles, hairsbreadth escapes, and fiendish (if rather inept) villains.” — School Library Journal
“Young readers … will enjoy journeying deep into the heart of darkest Delaware – and they won’t even have to pay the tolls.” — Horn Book
