Dennis Pearson grew up reading the stories of popular author Karolyne von Frankenburgh, but no one had ever seen Fräulein von Frankenburgh — until now, maybe. When Dennis finds a revealing clue (a portion of a letter from Frankenburgh’s publisher), he enlists his two closest friends, Bear, a lovable Suburban-driving grizzly who works for the local phone company, and Griff, twenty feet of half-eagle, half-lion, dragon-slaying griffin who reads stories to children at the local library, to help him solve the mystery. But Dennis soon realizes that there is more than just one secret in his hometown of Collinsfort Village. And in the process, he learns the value of trust and the true meaning of friendship as he, Bear, and Griff face mistaken identities, cover-ups, a bit of espionage, and the history of a dragon who hasn't flown for nearly one-hundred years.

Title: "Revenge of the Gingerbread Man!"
Author: Joe Ekaitis
Publication Date: May, 2010
Publisher: Amazon Digital Services
Format: Kindle eBook, readable with other digital devices
ASIN: B003KN3I1M
Price: $0.99

"Revenge of the Gingerbread Man!" updates and continues the tale of a cookie come to life, but with a few movie monster thrills, snappy one-liners and, of course, a classic fairy tale ending. I wrote it to introduce young readers to the joys of satire and parody, and to give read-aloud readers like parents and library assistants a story they can really ham up. It's longer than a typical picture book, but it barrels along like runaway roller coaster on greased rails.
