- Book 1 of 2: The Creature Department
Elliot Von Doppler and his friend Leslie think nothing ever happens in Bickleburgh, except inside the gleaming headquarters of DENKi-3000the worlds eighth-largest electronics factory.
Beneath the glass towers and glittering skywalks, there's a rambling old mansion from which all the companys amazing inventions spring forth. And no one except Uncle Archie knows whats behind the second-to-last door at the end of the hall.
Until Elliot and Leslie are invited to take a glimpse inside.
They find stooped, troll-like creatures with jutting jaws and broken teeth. Tiny winged things that sparkle as they fly. And huge, hulking, hairy nonhumans (with horns). It is unlike anything theyve ever seen.
But when Chuck Brickweather threatens to shut down the DENKi-3000 factory if a new product isnt presented soon, the creatures know they are in danger. And when Uncle Archie vanishes, its up to Elliot, Leslie, and every one of the unusual, er, employees to create an invention so astonishing it will save the Creature Department.

Robert Paul Weston lives in London, England, in a crumbling old building, hidden behind shiny glass towers. He isn't sure if this is where the idea for DENKi-3000 Headquarters came from, but it's certainly possible. In 2008, he published his first novel-in-verse, Zorgamazoo, recipient of the California Young Readers Medal, the Silver Birch Award, the Childrens Choice Award, and an E.B. White Read Aloud Honor. His second novel was the hardboiled fairy tale,Dust City, which was nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Young Adult Mystery. In February 2013, he publishedPrince Puggly of Spud and the Kingdom of Spiff. Although he writes all of his books with a mechanical pencil, it's not electric and doesn't come with a telescopic lens.
