ROADKILL ON THE FLIPSIDE is the fourth book in The Warrensberg Trilogy, which includes Waiting for the Voo (Book 1), Escape from Dorkville (Book 2) and The Last Ma-Loo (Book 3). In Roadkill on the Flipside, Wilkin Delgado and Alice Jane Zelinski journey to a war-torn world to stop a rogue black hole that threatens to consume the universe. In this wild, interstellar adventure, the two meet up with a Fanta-loving alien, a 10-year-old war casualty, a deadly assassin, an artificial construct, an army of Scrubbers, a mysterious religious cult, the tunnel rats of Eris, an emotion-reading monster and a 5,000-year-old spaceship. It’s a race against time and space to save everything and everybody.Roadkill on the Flipside is narrated in alternating chapters by 16-year-old Wilkin and 17-year-old Alice Jane (a gray-haired bacon-smelling doughnut-loving outcast from Missouri with serious anger issues). Wilkin explains, "Normally my life is pretty boring, but about once a year an intergalactic plumber named Cardamon Webb comes to my house and asks for help—to fix a nasty sewage problem (as an example) or figure out how to turn on the fresh water from the Source (as another example) or find a missing Ma-Loo somewhere in the infinite expanding universe (as a last example)."And Alice Jane fumes, "I’d like to relocate back to Kansas City, but right now I’m stuck in Dorkville because of two restraining orders (one in Missouri and the other in Minnesota) and a slight misunderstanding with a half-dozen narrow-minded government officials and one stubborn Warrensberg police officer by the name of Dennis."Wilkin and Alice Jane—together with Cardamon Webb, Loretta the puffin and a few others—have six days to save the universe.
