Publisher's Synopsis
When is the last time you enjoyed a purely academic romp through a super-fun and thrilling textbook--or "thrextbook"--on eleventh-century English history? Perhaps never as The Well Kept Secret is the first of its kind: an experimental prototype of a brand-new literary genre known as "the self-propelled history textbook." Follow university-student Haley on her riveting dive down an ancient well as she discovers the world's oldest English book, a book whose contents may unlock a breathtaking medieval treasure of gold, silver, and awesome weaponry that in turns leads to amazing romance, deep family belonging, and possibly even a new epoch of peace for mankind. David Brooks, Ph.D., both a trained and purist historian and an accomplished and innovative educator, has engineered The Well Kept Secret in such a way that this 100%-memorizable academic textbook covering all aspects of eleventh-century English history is completely hidden inside a fun and fast-paced mystery/romance/treasure-hunting novel
