Description
Salt and Pepper's first-place finish in the National Archaeologists Association essay competition earns them an awesome prize-a month-long trip to an archeological dig in New Mexico, the site of an ancient Anasazi cliff dwelling. In typical Salt-and-Pepper style, though, things get complicated awfully quickly. Before the teenaged duo even leave home (with Salt's mega-annoying little brother, Hal, in tow), they learn that one of the site's archeologists has mysteriously disappeared. And when they finally arrive on the scene, a strange-looking man seems to be following them. It's another mysterious adventure for Salt and Pepper, with a time-travel twist that's sure to have readers on the edge of their seats!
About the author
David A. Poulsen has been a broadcaster, teacher, professional cowboy, football coach, stage and film actor and—most of all—writer. His writing career began in earnest when his story The Welcomin’ won the 1984 Alberta Culture Short Story Competition. Now the author of 27 books, many for middle readers and young adults, David spends 60 to 80 days a year in classrooms and libraries across Canada (and beyond) as a visiting author/presenter. The UBC Creative Writing alumnus and former Writer in Residence at the Saskatoon Public Library recently made his inaugural foray into the world of adult crime fiction with Serpents Rising, the best-selling first book in the Cullen and Cobb Mystery series. There are now four titles in the series and the fourth—None So Deadly—hit bookstores in the spring of 2019. The Man Called Teacher, coming in 2019, is his first adult western. David lives on a small ranch in Alberta’s foothills where he and his wife Barb raise and train running-bred quarter horses for barrel racing competitions.
