Buggy Crenshaw and the Deadwood Principle: Evolution (In Search of the Nexus, Book 2, Vol. 1)

Buggy Crenshaw is back! Beginning exactly where The Bungler’s Paradox ended, The Deadwood Principle: Evolution is the first of two volumes that further document the adventures of 12-year-old Buggy Crenshaw, a self-proclaimed Warrior for the Greater Good of Mankind who regrettably often creates more problems than she solves. While still reeling over her first encounter with evil, Buggy is visited by the Rebel Phoenix Alabaster, an ancient and feeble creature whose cryptic message is only the beginning of one of her most harrowing adventures to date. With the help of her friends Sid Piccolo and Veronica Hamburg, Buggy deciphers the Phoenix’s message to mean she must now face an even more sinister and alarming enemy: the Evil Empress Eartha Naturalus, the second of five Dark Lords of the Underworld. Although the Empress is presently trapped in her prison behind the Dimensional Door, this Wicked Mother Nature is still somehow causing world-shattering earthquakes and the startling arrival of black and twisted trees that rocket from the earth’s core, destroying all that stand in their way. While the Empress’ Legions begin their violent takeover of our world, Buggy and her friends scramble for a way to put a stop to the chaos before it’s too late. Fueled by her unrivaled curiosity and admitted addiction to adventure, Buggy employs every bit of cleverness she has to save the world, but imagine her surprise when she learns that she was the scoundrel who caused this second coming of evil! The Deadwood Principle: Evolution is only the beginning, though. You won’t want to miss this adventure’s startling conclusion in the second volume, Buggy Crenshaw and The Deadwood Principle: Revolution! But be forewarned: the D’Evil’s in the details… "...this one is even better than the last! If I could, I'd have skipped school to read this. Ms. Wilburn has a huge series on her hands..." Austin McCredie (age 13), www.readerviewskids.com "This book held my interest from start to finish...The Deadwood Principal or the Artemis Fowl series?: Anybody who knows me knows how much I LOVE the Artemis Fowl series. I sat for days going through each and every one of the codes mentioned. This is why I am surprised to say that I prefer The Deadwood Principal and The Bungler's Paradox to the entire Artemis Fowl series! Wilburn has me addicted to [her] books like Eoin Colfer never could. Not an easy feat..." Wordforteens.com, Sundays With Scott "...the adventure is back in full-force with a cliffhanger ending that will leave readers salivating for the conclusion in Buggy Crenshaw and The Deadwood Principle: Revolution."
