Beschreibung

In previous books, you saw Wizard and Dreamer becoming friends. This book takes that friendship further. Dreamer's given name was Frances. Her classmates had nicknamed her 'Dreamer' because she believed that everybody's dreams came true. Dreamer's father, Tom-Tom, had had a very unhealthy relationship with his young daughter, one that demanded Wilizy justice. Delivering that justice was complicated. The Wilizy knew what he had done to her, but couldn't prove it. Also, Tom-Tom was currently in prison where they couldn't reach him. Plus, Dreamer had dreamed that her father would kill her. She didn't believe that the Wilizy could protect her because her dreams ALWAYS came true. The Wilizy's plan was to plant a corrupt lawyer into Tom-Tom's cell. That lawyer was going to break him out of jail. After that, justice could be delivered. To be fair, the Wilizy did try to do everything they could to keep Dreamer's dream from coming true. Elsewhere, Lucas was hanging around a young teacher named Candi who gave high school boys personal lessons on forest ecology during lunch hour. She was VERY friendly with her students. Candi asked Lucas to convince unruly students to pay for her lessons. Lucas was naive and didn't realize what he had become until it was too late. Serious jail time awaited him. Lucas' lawyer was unconventional and by the end of the trial, his clients were delighted. In the history of delighted beings, only the firefly that had backed into a rotating fan had been more de---lighted. You may have to think about that one.

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.
