Produktbeschreibung

When Omar and his entire family are invited to a funeral, things start going wrong. As the relative was quite old, no one was surprised at his passing. At the crypt side service, Omar starts to notice strange people. They don't fit his family and stand to one side. They are watching the people attending the service, and are surprised when he is caught looking at them. When he files past the crypt, Omar notices the death date is from several years earlier, but no one seems to notice. Since the old codger was known to be a practical joker, Omar doesn't say anything. He assumes it is why no one else does either.
When the will is read out, Omar is one of two people directly mentioned. The problem is, he is the only one to get no money at all. At first Omar's younger brother asks why. Soon everyone other then Omar forgets all about it. Omar has to repeatedly remind people he didn't get any money. Soon he gives this up and just tries to ignore it. He assumes someone has talked everyone into an odd prank
Once back home and in school, Omar hopes everything will go back to normal. Then a strange chest shows up in his room. Everyone tells him he has owned it for years. He is sure he hasn't. As it is covered in strange metal vines and animals, Omar is quite sure he would remember it even if it wasn't taking up most of the free space. Then he notices the metalwork moves and changes whenever he isn't looking at it. He can't get others to believe him. No matter what he does no one will believe him. Then one day while looking the chest over, Omar realizes something. The chest is too large. It couldn't have come into his room through the window or door. Finely Omar decides this is just another part of the enormously strange prank.
Omar is sure of this until a wheelchair bound girl shows up with a letter from his dead relative. This letter says the reason for everything happening is magic. Omar thinks this is just more of the joke or prank, until she proves him wrong.
As Omar is trying to understand such things as talking cats, the girl informs him he needs to make a will. He doesn't even have time to remember the warning about magic being dangerous, before the door to the kitchen is blown off. When the dust clears, Omar finds a man standing in the doorway. He challenges Omar to a magical duel!

One event after another keeps Omar hopping. If he doesn't learn the magical laws quickly, he may not live long enough to ever find out.

Autorenporträt

Hello, this is R. E. White. Sooner or later anyone who reads my work will find a word or spelling mistake. There are two reasons for this. The first is I am blind. Not totally. I can see light and shadows from a few scattered pinholes. This is due to two genetic conditions which have been slowly killing off the retina cells. At one time I could see and drive. However, well before the year two thousand I was designated as legally blind. I stopped driving a few years before that. Just after losing track of where I was on a four lane road. It only lasted a few seconds, but let me tell you when you can't even tell up from down for two seconds and everything just becomes different colors with no perspective, it makes you want to park and never drive again. Well, I wanted to but never did. That was one of three big steps I had to go through when going blind. Waiting for someone else to drive me rather than just go. The next was when I had to get someone else to read my mail. The last was when I could no longer understand what was on a TV or computer screen. This meant no more video games.
In the case of computers, I shifted to a talking one. This includes learning to type blind. Listening to the computer tell me which key I just tapped, and learning how to get it to read things to me. There are other things a talking system can do. Unfortunately, there are few sights which pay attention to making things work for text only systems, and fewer good, sound only games. Even My smart phone which has a voice mode, never remembers to check out the apps for whether they will work while in voice over mode. I have a lot of books from audible dot com and even though I have repeatedly informed them there is no way for me to rate their books, they keep asking me to do it. When they came out with an app. for my smart phone, the rating screen doesn't work at all in the voice over mode. Still I can get many good books from them. Just not rate them or delete them when they go corrupted. I have to have a sighted person take over and get rid of them. Strange how most of their helpers never even know about the voice over mode even though it is built in to the phone, but then it was true for the helpers who built the phone as well.
Anyway, back to the writing problems. The wrong word problems are due to one, not being able to tell the difference when my computer reads it out to me. So two, too, to, and 2 all sound the same to me. This means a window which has been s...
