Produktbeschreibung

If you were to ask Planet Wiffle-Waffle's government, they'd say that they were giving their citizens a good life. All the Wiffle-Waffles were living in a safe home, they all had jobs, and they all had access to a long-term health care plan when they retired. The government also gave them free guns and free bullets. It wasn't their fault that off-planet terrorists liked to attack and kill Wiffle-Waffles without warning.

The government knew that the best defense against a man with a gun was a man with two guns. Most wiffle-waffles had four or more. Even children had free guns and free bullets for their protection. So, you can see that the government was doing the best they could. Winnie, who was impersonating a Waffle at the time, had a different opinion. No, she wasn't the type of waffle that you could eat.

Winnie and Justice were searching for armed militia who could attack, rob planets and then disappear. Their search had led them to the Zippity Do Dah Day munitions factory whose motto was: You can never have too many guns. That factory's best customers? Would you believe the Wiffle-Waffles? Even the Cunningham family (Howard, Marion, Richie, and Joanie) had guns. Howard had a sniper's rifle and wasn't reluctant to use it. The two days when he killed eight off-planet terrorists were happy days for him.

When an armed militia attacked Planet Panther, it was obvious what they were after. Gold and lots of it. The timing was suspect. Kyty was in a hospital off-planet while Luna and Fang were attending a Cosmos meeting. This meant that the planet had no leaders and no spaceships to defend itself. Afterwards, investigators would ask: How did the militia know that this was the perfect time to attack?

Autorenporträt

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.
