When Penuta's cousin Charlie is kidnapped by the princess of another city, Penuta enlists the help of the most fearsome mafia gang around to rescue her. There's one catch - they have to cross the desert first. The desert full of supernatural creatures, mysterious portals, and strange towns with even stranger inhabitants! The deeper Penuta wanders into the desert, the more secrets she unveils, and the more she learns of the terrible curse of the princess of purgatory.

Nolan is like many children who are not interested in using their words. Their answer to everything is no. This story is one child's journey from being "Nolan No" to learning the value of words, including the word "yes", speaking nicely and making people understand what he wants and needs, without being defiant. I hope this book helps many families with a child who loves the word "No" a little too much, to learn to communicate with and help each other understand other people's feelings and needs, and promote more loving relationships.
