Book Description
As Zin Mignon approached his father’s grave, he buckled in shock. Moments later, he asked, “Mom, who would do such a thing? Dad was just a simple guy who ran a little deli. I mean… Wasn’t he?” Thus begins the fourth book of Zin Mignon, the 13 year-old Chef Extraordinaire. He’s back in Brooklyn, with new recipes and a quest to finally uncover his family history. Ah… but if only his sleuthing skills matched his cooking prowess. So far, Michael Daswick’s sprawling Series has seen young Zin gnaw his way towards the core of his rotten family history: rat-roasting in homeless camps; the squalid orphanages of Russia; Gypsy caves of the Steppes; the Glam of the Sunset Strip; the reclusive mountaintop Abbey of the mysterious Mustard Monks, who conceal their secrets like prized Russian caviar. Join Zin in his most fantastical world-spanning adventure yet. But be warned: food will never taste the same again. In this epic conclusion, the Truth is Served. Will Zin be elated to finally uncover his family saga? Or utterly dashed into doom? Neither Zin, nor the reader, ever expected a shocker like this. And by the way…Who the heck are the Mustard Monks?

Book Description
HALLBOYS are six linked short stories about the escapades and dreams of young Chip Rock and his pals, the Hallboys, who grow up in the shabby orphanage known as Boys Hall, in the seedy SoCal beach town of No Palms. Can beautiful motives come from the ugliest settings? They can at Boys Hall. From the chores of scraping seagull poop off the front steps to forever battling the cranky hags at the hated No Palms Women's Club, the Hallboys know all the tricks. Each story mixes humor and humanity while rising to a surprising and memorable ending. They underscore the vivid imagination of children, and their adventures which lead to friendships and bonds that last a lifetime. CHIP ROCK doesn't have a traditional family. As an orphan at BOYS HALL, the wilting orphanage in a sinking SoCal beach town, his 'brothers' are a rag-tag bunch of Hallboys who match wits with the old bats at the Women's Club, fish off the creaking pier, and chase pirates around the ruins of the ancient lighthouse. HALLBOYS shows how shared struggles can build the bonds of friendship -- to forge families and brotherhood. Author Michael Daswick was awarded both of Columbia's finest literary awards, The Bennett Cerf Memorial Prize for Fiction, and the Cornell Woolrich Fellowship for Creative Writing. HALLBOYS is the prequel to the novel, CHIP ROCK and the FAT OLD FART, which describes Chip's heartache and heroics after he's aged out of Boys Hall.
