The four friends' journey continues in the high elevation of the Forest of Wonder. But as they follow the path downward, they soon encounter a different landscape of chaparral, vast flat plains, abundant yucca trees, and giant cactus (saguaro). Loar and Roen are surprised and amazed at this new landscape, but it heightens their sense of being far from the lush forests of home. When the friends come to a canyon, they wonder how they can cross the rushing river below. Bear King is not sure he can climb down the steep path, even though Bobo Chico is eager to scramble downhill. Loar is sensitive to Bear King’s dilemma and suggests that he and Roen explore the nearby area for a safer alternative. But when the boys separate from the group, they get lost and encounter Clumenji, the Desert Wizard. He gives them a ride in his magic red electric cart back to Bear King and Bobo Chico. With the combined magic of Clumenji and Bear King, a bridge appears and they all cross the canyon. They soon reach Clumenji’s adobe hacienda, a delightful palace of red rock, amongst desert spires.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
