No One Dies in the Garden of Syn
by Michael Seidelman
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: April 26th 2016
Synthia (Syn) Wade is a teenage girl who struggles with cystic fibrosis, an incurable life-threatening disease. One day she is pushed into a pond by an unseen figure and wakes up in a new world – a mysterious garden where illness and death don’t exist.
Welcomed by the garden’s residents and now free of her symptoms, Syn decides to stay. But, before long, she realizes that this apparent utopia holds many dangers and dark secrets.
Surrounding the garden is a fog that Syn is warned never to enter. She encounters bizarre creatures that defy reason. And always lurking in the shadows is a masked woman - a woman who may have a connection to the disappearance of Syn’s parents many years ago. A woman whom no one will speak of, but whom everyone fears.
While No One Dies in the Garden of Syn, Syn will soon discover that some fates are worse than death.

A butterfly darts across the pond, fluttering its wings gently before settling on a lily pad. I study the lawn around me and see an ant marching past.There is a spider perched on a weed growing out of the grass next to me.The spider is beige, has a larger than normal head and thick legs. A shriek escapes my
lips at what I see on closer inspection.This isn’t an ordinary spider at all. Its body is spiderlike but its four upper legs look like human arms with hands. Its four lower legs look like human legs
with feet. Then there’s its face—its teensy face is that of a little boy whose jaw is dropped wide in shock at seeing me. Probably just as much as mine is at seeing him.

What a unique book! This intriguing book is like an alternative trip into a Wonderland with alternate realities and a lot of twists! The storyline is absolutely original and creative, the dialogue was perfect and the characters are complex with palpable emotions! I was absolutely gripped by this story from the very beginning and was along for the ride the whole way! There are absolutely no boring parts- in fact there's quite a few twist and gets more intriguing as the book goes on! I absolutely enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to check out the second book in this series! Very well written!
My name is Michael Seidelman. I was born in Vancouver, BC Canada where I continue to reside. When I was growing up, my passions were reading, watching movies, nature and creative writing. Not much has changed since then. In high school when I had an opportunity to write short stories in class, I relished reading them out loud to my classmates who would gasp at the unexpected twists and applaud when I was done. I took several creative writing classes and have continued writing over the years while working in Interactive Marketing.
About two years ago, I decided to take some time off to focus on my writing and work on a Young Adult trilogy. The first book in The Garden of Syn series – No One Dies in the Garden of Syn – will be released on April 26th. Meanwhile, I am working hard on the second and third books in the series.
Getting up every morning and sitting down to create new characters and bring new worlds to life is the most fulfilling job I have ever had. Beyond the trilogy, I have many ideas plotted out and I look forward to sharing them all with the world!
