Produktbeschreibung
Luke is an ordinary 12 year old boy who drowns in mysterious circumstances, only to find that he has not died but has become something else entirely; a sea being called an Eeshu. He can only breathe in water as he suffocates in the air. Unable to return to his family and life as a human child, he embarks on a perilous journey across the Atlantic Ocean, accompanied by his Eeshu friend Keeya and her grandfather in his quest to return to his human form. Will Luke ever be human again? Will he be able to return to his family and normality? Or will he be a sea being, an Eeshu, for the rest of his life? And what unseen terror in the Deep is hunting them? Luke's journey is exhilarating, painful, terrifying and joyous. The longer he remains in Eeshu form the more conflicted he feels as to which world he really belongs to. Does he even want to become human again? This is a gripping and unusual tale of adventure, friendship, death and spiritual growth. Luke learns about the plight of the oceans and the true reason for his drowning as well as astonishing facts about the history of his planet and the human race. This book is suitable for children who are able to read the early Harry Potters, The Hobbit and other books of that reading level.

Autorenporträt
Alison Cooklin was born in 1971 in Colchester, Essex. After graduating in Modern Arabic Studies at Leeds University she spent the next eight years working for an Arabic speaking television station, which gave her the opportunity to discover the Middle East, its people and their cultures. Her visit to Morocco provided the inspiration for the setting of her second book in the Light Travellers series, Noura's Journey, where the heroine Noura faces a long and bewildering journey across the Sahara desert. Alison then began a new career as a belly dance teacher and performer ( www.bellycise.com). It satisfied her creative energies for a while but the need to write became too strong and whilst her children were very small she began forming her ideas for the series of books that would become the Light Travellers series. Finally in 2015 her children's novel 'The Light Travellers: Luke's Journey' was published. The author currently lives in Suffolk, UK with her husband and two children.
