Young Adult Novels by Dave Casler...
I've been told by publisher after publisher that there's no market for Young Adult novels. I think they're wrong! So I'm putting my novels on-line for you. Forget the publisher! Read to your heart's content--it's free! And, I'd like to hear from you, too! Contact Page.
You're reading About Dan. Be sure to check out About Phillip here.
Dan is a normal kid who loves his soccer. Except everything goes wrong. Everything.

What Peter Wouldn't Understand
"Ok, in five words or less, I'm not getting answers to my prayers."
"That's seven words."
"Ok, seven words."
"We're getting into areas about your church I don't understand."
"I just told you you wouldn't understand."
"I'm going to try."
Dan sighed again. "How are you going to understand?"
"What's your concept of prayer?"
"You talk to, no, with, Heavenly Father," replied Dan, remembering Bishop Parker's counsel.
"Heavenly Father. That's God?"
"Yes."
"With. With. Meaning he talks back?"
"Yes, at least that's the theory."
"How does he talk back? Do you hear words?"
"No. At least no one says they hear words, except the prophet, I guess."
"And he's in Salt Lake City?"
"Presumably."
"And he has time to get Dan Cook's answers along with everyone else's?"
"No."
"So how does God talk back?"
"That's what I don't know."
"You mean you've been praying all these years and you've never gotten an answer?"
"Well, I mean, I thought answers came when things went well or something like that. I never even thought about getting an actual response when I had a real problem, up until when I got my leg all bummed up and then I found out..." he stopped.
"Found out what?"
