Produktbeschreibung

Pretend for the moment that you want to help the citizens of a planet who are heavily addicted to a poisonous substance that their government has forced on them. Would you pretend to be a benevolent god who replies to the prayers from two non-addicted citizens? As that god, would it be alright for you to plant the idea of a revolution in the minds of your believers? And, would it be appropriate for you to name those believers Fred and Ethel from the I Love Lucy reruns you used to watch? Would you be surprised if Lucy and Ricky were also mentioned? Did you know that benevolent gods are allowed to lie and steal if it's for a good cause? Would you have a smoking hot time helping the people of Pandora? Winnie did.

If you can believe the benevolent god story, would you also believe that novice-lawyer Reese would be defending a baseball coach who has been accused of murder? If time travel revealed that the coach was completely innocent, would you believe that corrupt police would ensure that she'd be found guilty? But what if Reese had a coconut of truth? Would you believe that the judge would allow Reese to use it on the witnesses? Would you be surprised if that Coconut worked? If so, would you think that the people behind the false murder accusation have now been stopped? Are you sure?

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.
