• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Will and Izzy travel to New York to be safe from Zzyk. There, Will builds a sailing ship that can fly invisibly in the air. That allows them to explore other large cities safely as they return home. Along the way, intense sexual temptations become unbearable. They adopt several ways to control themselves, one of them is a sort of hockey game. The long trip also means that they must learn to get along with each other. That part of the trip doesn't go too well.

When they reach British Columbia, Albertan spies capture Izzy and imprison her in an escape-proof building. Zzyk offers to release her unharmed if she convinces Will to drop by for a free brain band fitting. Izzy refuses. Zzyk pressures Izzy with vicious accusations. She has to find a way to cope with those and, at the same time, plan an escape with nothing other than some art supplies, energy bars, and clothes.

Will looks for a way to threaten Zzyk with such overwhelming harm that he will pull his forces away from the prison. He is assuming that Izzy has a plan to escape. At the end of the story, Will has to face the Get-Even Bird for something he shouldn't have done when he discovered where she was imprisoned. That bird comes armed with a piece of women's underwear.

The focus of this second Wilizy book is clearly on Izzy. Other books in the series will focus on other members of the very large family. As members of the superhero family grow up, they will face the same personal challenges as other teens. All books include some romance and a seemingly impossible challenge to bring justice to wicked villains.

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.
