David Thorne has quickly established himself as the world’s leading internet troublemaker. Since his emailed efforts to settle an overdue bill with a drawing of a spider achieved massive worldwide online exposure in 2008, millions of people have followed Thorne’s hilarious exchanges with unwitting victims reported via the mainstream media, online and email inboxes globally.

This exciting and spiritual medieval quest adventure follows the story of young Prince Brandun. He and two companions are forced out on a search for the mysterious Temple of Wisdom, to find a scepter that will determine the next heir to the kingdom of Haefen. The young characters encounter grief, danger, love, freindship, mystery, and discovery, and in the intriguing realm of the Jahaziel Mountains learn new ways to relate to God and the world around them, on both natural and spiritual levels. Though technically a young-adult novel (for ages 12 and up), The Temple of Wisdom makes a wonderful read or read-aloud for young and old alike. "Thank you," wrote one reader, "for your book, The Temple of Wisdom. I found it a wonderful blend of Swedenborg's "True Christian Religion," Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings," and Ende's "Neverending Story."

Arriving in this small town in the 1950s, Herbie loves his life as a favored toy with a family on Matheson Street. It's a wonderful life -- that is until the summer of the mysterious River Bandit, when Herbie goes missing. Who is the Bandit? Is Herbie ever found? Wander with Herbie around a small California town in the 1950s, in an era of black and white televisions, summer water-skiing on the Russian River and rainy Saturday matinees.
