Black Cats: Lucky or Unlucky? (Wilizy, #22) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The main focus of Book #22 is on the three remaining members of the Denver Cattlemen's Association, Paup, Krakul and Schnappe. Governor Stookenhap owed them for their legal attack on him and Sheila, so he would provide a legal response that would take away their ability to be dominant in the cattle industry. In effect, he would take away their power. The Wilizy would take away their money. Some might call it stealing, but it wasn't. The three ranchers willingly gave their money to the company known as Colorado Mining Development Inc. Melissa was the strategist with Mac as battle commander. The Valkyries provide the sex appeal. Jilly was particularly effective in her Operation Reveal. When the cattlemen's money was safely deposited elsewhere, Molly Moonblossom (Winnie) wrote a column that revealed to the people of Colorado how they had been conned. This drove Paup and Krakul out of the state. Schnappe was driven to take his anger out on Stook and Sheila. A second story line will introduce you to two people who existed on the fringes of polite society, which ignored them as much as possible. They met when Schnappe tried to murder the woman. The man nursed her back to life. Fearing that Schnappe would try again, they hid behind unusual nicknames. She was Fido the Dog. He was Boris, the Purple Gnome. They were just two people who had suffered pain and had managed to establish a mutual, non-sexual friendship. That lasted until Schnappe tried to kill Boris. You may have noticed that Schnappe appeared twice in their lives. A black cat appeared at the same time.

Autor

David Wighton is a retired educator who enjoys writing youth novels when he's not on a basketball court coaching middle-school girls. The books in his Wilizy series peek at how people lived after the word's governments collapsed in the chaos that followed the catastrophic rise in ocean levels and the disappearance of the world's last deposits of oil. Luckily today, in the 2080s, the citizens of Alberta are safe because their It's Only Fair society uses brain-bands to zap people whenever they break a rule. That way, all children grow up knowing the difference between right and wrong. Unfortunately, they're also taught that women's ankles need to be covered so that men can't see them and turn into perverts. Plus, no-one in Alberta can have babies any more because the government manufactures them in a way that ensures that no child has an unfair advantage over any other child. All of this makes sense to Alberta's dictator, but not to Will and Izzy two teenagers who are decidedly different from everyone else.

Wighton's novels have strong teenage characters driving the plot and facing challenges that, in many respects, are no different from what teenagers face today. His novels are intended to entertain and readers will find adventure, romance, suspense, humour, a strong focus on family, plus a touch of whimsy. Wighton also writes to provoke a little thought about life in today's societies and what the future might bring. Teachers may find the series useful in the classroom and the novels are priced with that intent in mind.
