Morgana Foils the Duke's Plans (Wilizy, #23) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

In rescuing a young Zulu girl from certain death, Reese discovers a country where women do all the work and are banned from saying anything to any male. The men live in comfort and peace drinking beer and not having to listen to any woman, even their wives and daughters. Can life get any better than this? The entire Wilizy family plus the cadets and the Valkyries set out to bring justice to the country's leaders and help the Zulus escape from extreme poverty. Reese has an important role in this operation. In Hell, an ambitious devil named the Duke of Earl is raising an army of demons that could overwhelm Hell's security forces. Or, that same army could overwhelm Heaven's defenses. Nobody knows who he will attack first. Joe-Joe does know that Heaven's defenses aren't able to stop near invisible demons from invading Heaven armed with poisoned needles. If you're interested in the legend of King Arthur and the Round Table, you will find references to it throughout the book. You'll meet an Arthur, a Queen Guinevere, a Sir Galahad, a Sir Launchalot who liked to launch people into the air, a magic sword that couldn't be pulled out of the ground, a bigoted Sir Lance-Lott and his wicked sister Morgana, and Queen Morgana le Fey who has a sword fight with the Duke of Earl. Also appearing in guest roles are Larry, Moe and Curly as well as Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Donald Duck would have been there too, but he couldn't get out of his movie contract.

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.
