Coffee Can Kill Ya! (Wilizy, #16) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Book #16 continues the love story between Lucas and the twins, which is on hold right now because he can't choose between the two of them. Their mom, Paula, moves her family to Colorado Springs where they appear to be on track to having a good life. That future disappears when two extraterrestrials kill Paula. I realize that an author is not supposed to give away the ending, but I'm not. Paula's future continues after she's dead. What she does and how she does it is up to you to discover. Paula's brother, Howard Swensen, has something to do with that future. Turns out that he is an important person in the Denver Cattlemen's Association, which uses its power and wealth to control the Colorado government. You should think of them as villains. Howard's house blows up in the middle of night. He probably was smoking in bed. He was certainly smoking afterwards. Wilizy efforts to determine who killed Howard are stymied. You may think that both Paula and Howard died at the hands of a DCA hitman. You'd be wrong. However, the Wilizy are successful in finding out how Paula died. That discovery causes Wilizy faces to turn a scary purple color. The word 'radioactive' doesn't mean that you are using your radio too much.

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.
