• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A massive solar flare caused Winnie and Bean to die and they found themselves waiting in a line-up to enter Heaven's halocracy. You may wonder what a halocracy is. Huge organizations need rules and structure to operate efficiently. On Earth, that's called a bureaucracy. In Heaven, because they all have halos, they call it a halocracy or if you like a halo-cracy.

Winnie was not impressed with Heaven's halocracy and you probably wouldn't be either. Heaven had a LOT of rules, all of which had to be obeyed. Winnie argued successfully that she was brought to Heaven by mistake, so Heaven offered to send her back to Earth. Sadly, she'd lose all her memories and have to start life over again as a baby. Winnie wanted to go back but she didn't want to lose her family. So, she did what Winnie does best. She argued against her fate while she looked for a way to break the rules. Does this surprise you?

Winnie had an ally, a chubby junk food addict named Arthur. He didn't like all the rules either and had a history of multiple failures as a guardian angel. Arthur helped Winnie learn to fly her training angel body, which wasn't all that hard given her experience in flying. She was with Arthur when Winnie figured out how to escape from Heaven.

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.
