Produktbeschreibung

The Wonderful World of Om takes the young reader to an imaginary parallel world where the difficulties of our own world just do not exist, because no one ever created them by making bad choices. However, things are not perfect in Om, and the young hero of the story, Sam Warner (aged eleven) is called upon to use his skills as a champion bowler to save the land from serious danger. Sam has suffered the disillusionment of seeing his bowling alley in Vancouver demolished without any serious effort by those in authority to save it. It is never quite clear whether his journey to Om is no more than a dream or whether it arises from a mysterious combination of cosmic forces that have been set in motion to right the wrong that he has experienced. Guaranteed to touch the heart strings and bring smiles and many moments of laugh-out-loud enjoyment to readers of every age, but especially to those willing to travel in imagination to places of wonder where everyone is encouraged to be the best that they can be.

Autorenporträt

Desmond Berghofer is the author of four novels as well as works of non-fiction including a memoir of his early childhood growing up on a farm in Queensland, Australia. Desmond lives in Vancouver, Canada with his wife, Gerri. Together, they have 12 grandchildren. The Wonderful World of Om is Desmond's first book directed at a juvenile readership in which he elaborates similar themes of high order values as in his other novels for an adult audience. By anchoring the story in a real life situation of injustice and using a magical leap to another reality, he seeks to capture the imagination of his young readers while inspiring them to hold fast to the ideals of justice, truth and honesty. He never speaks down to his readers, but asks them to come along with him to that place in literature where heart and mind fuse in the wonder of adventure, love, and achievement.
