Queen Karita's Revenge (Wilizy, #28) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

It took months before Melissa's plans were all in place to defeat Governor Pancha Villa. Along the way, the Wilizy had to conduct a full military operation in Utah to defeat the Californian army. A key moment in the battle happened in the Salt Lake Temple, an event that was memorialized on canvas. That was just the easy part. The Wilizy still had to convince brown supremacists that white Californians were equal to them. Prejudice is hard to change, but Melissa's plan got all Californians working together after they rolled Porky the Pig out of her mansion. Meanwhile, Maddy revealed that her Arizona baseball coach and his slimy partner were money stealing crooks. That brought Winnie's entire team to Tempe where they discovered that they weren't facing two ordinary crooks. Thankfully, they didn't carry a smell of sulphur which meant they were mortals. At least that was what they thought before their suspects escaped capture by taking a PUS train to Hell. Coach Maureen told Maddy that she had a bright future in baseball if she received good coaching. This was distressing news because no high-level coaches worked in Billings, or anywhere else the Wilizy family lived. Fortunately, Winnie revealed a solution at the end of the book. Speaking of revealing, Maddy proclaimed that she wasn't a chicken and revealed for all to see that she wasn't. And no, that's not why a chicken is on the cover.

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.
