Description
Vayle is a young student who does the one thing students should never do. He starts asking questions his school cannot answer, questions like 'What is the Garden of Eden like?' and “What is the difference between the letter O and the number O?' and 'Why?' Those are the kinds of questions that make his mechanical teachers start to malfunction.Will Vayles's school be able to teach him a lesson, or will Vayle find himself in permanent detention? Read The Child and find out!David J. Rollins is a new exciting author with a style all his own. His stories are unlike anything else you have ever read, unless you have read Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Christopher Moore or William Rankin. And if you have read those authors, you'll love David J. Rollins.Reviews for David J. Rollins Other Books"If you don't find yourself laughing at poor Requiem's situation & who put him there you're definitely taking life too seriously." Dallas (Goodreads review of Angry Edenites No. 1 - The Preacher)“I certainly wasn't expecting a novelette that had me talking about it all weekend to everyone who would listen! David Rollins has created a quirky, sick, but totally enjoyable world in the Sales Crime Policeman “ EM Havens Blog (Review of The Sales Crime Policeman)“This humorous science fiction novel gets a gold star for imagination and for a very entertaining, whimsical book with loads of allegory . It's snarky and sarcastic and for some reason it I get the feeling the author is a fan of Phillip Dick. Gpangel (Amazon Review of The Sales Crime Policeman)
