    [synopsis] => In its first two lines of enchanting rhyme, Chasing Wonder invites the reader into the oceans and seas of our imagination.

Deep and wide as the very vastest sea Inside a place called Curiosity Then tells us how to get there...

Close your eyes and open your mind Who knows what could be there to find What the adventure is about...

This is a story about making choices 

To deny or follow our inner voices

And why making this journey is important...

But most of all it's about discovery

Why you're you, and you're not me

It's a story about wisdom too

And how we're shaped by what we do

And Wonder is the reason for this rhyme

So, just let yourself wonder all the time

Chasing Wonder is dual-track literature that engages adults and young adults with multilayered rhyming and luscious wordplay, and delights children with a worthy plot and an assortment of entertaining allegorical characters.

Among these are: Esteemed Lobster, known for his ego quite superior, just because of his posterior; Coral Larry, the genius brain coral; and Squid Pro Quo, the transactional giant squid.

Two key characters who appear from time to time are Sarah and Dipidee...

"Here and there to do some good

And we'd do more, if we could

But it's all by chance; we never know

We can't be everywhere you might go!"

The reader also meets two empty-headed parrot fish named Yada Yada and Blah Blah Blah; the wise turtle, Twain; the snitch, Rattail Ronnie; the State Fish of Hawaii, Humuhumunukunukuapua'a; and NepTune...

There's NepTune the rapper, the coolest aqua-man

Who raps saltwater rhyme like no other can

The ocean sways to NepTune's rhythm

Plants and creatures are in tune with him

And as he glides from side to side

He sways the ocean's rising tide

And inspires his fans to wildly wave

So surfers get the waves they crave

The protagonist is Wonder, a young oyster banished from the oyster bed for reasons the reader is challenged to evaluate; and the antagonist is evil Vidi (from Julius Caesar's Veni, Vidi, Vici), a hideous sawfish...

Vidi is wickedness to the core

The most sinister fish in ocean lore

His absolute favorite thing to do

Is devour the goodness inside of you

And oysters, he thinks, are the most delicious

The favorite of all his dinner dishes

There is much to find in Chasing Wonder, additional captivating characters, and foundation ideals and values for life...

Truth is always most essential

Beauty makes you reverential

Goodness leaves you feeling great

Justice for all must never wait

Equality belongs to everyone

Freedom's quest is never done

Chasing Wonder is an adventure for everyone, because...

If we dare, wonder takes us everywhere!
