The Universe Builders: Bernie and the Lost Girl: (humorous fantasy and science fiction for young adults)

Desperate to find her, the whole town mobilizes for an exhaustive search. As the day wears on, fear grows that little Emily may be lost forever. Only the woods remain to be searched. Yet, the gods are so afraid of the woods, they will not venture there, not even to save the life of a young girl.

Bernie and his friends, Suzie and Lenny, armed with little more than courage and a magical stick, embark on a daring and forbidden journey to rescue Emily. In doing so, they discover a dangerous and shadowy world filled with terrifying monsters, a place where even gods can die.

It will take a miracle to save them, and even that may not be enough...

This is the prequel to the multi-award winning book, The Universe Builders: Bernie and the Putty.
