Need a great book to read?

Try picking up a recently published book called A Measure of Disorder. It’s by an author named Alan Tucker, who owns a publishing business operated out of Billings, MT. This book is truly great, a twisting imaginative plot, great characters, and depth to the settings. The book starts with an eight grader named Jenni on the bus, on her way to a routine science call excursion. Everything is just dandy, until everyone falls asleep near the lake as a fog rolls in. They wake up hours later, the fog gone, and aren’t on Earth anymore. They meet up with some interesting creature along the way, not all of them friendly, and everyone in the group changes into something from this new world, something more suited to their souls, their personalities. Everyone, except Jenni. They go on to meet bad guys and resolve conflicts. I’d go into more detail, but you should really just read the book. What’s even better, is you don’t have very long to wait before the next one comes out. Book Two: A Cure For Chaos is due to come out in January of next year, while the cover art will be released this Sunday during Tucker’s book signing at a Borders in Montana. The cover is done by an artist in the area, and when Sunday rolls around, I’ll hopefully be able to post the cover art up here, and tell you who did it.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that MAD Design publishing is based in Montana, and is a fairly small company, the Mother-Earth series cannot be found in our local books store, but you can check out Amazon.com and www.mother-earthseries.com to find out more about purchasing your copy.

Here’s what some other people said about the book:
