Produktbeschreibung

Tickled Pink is all about bullies. Conrad Valkendorff is a very rich and powerful man in Denmark. His power is such that he could never be caught and prosecuted for what he does to young women who catch his eye. If they object, he ruins their careers and marriages. As happenstance would have it, he attacked a member of the Wilizy. Valkendorff's immunity started evaporating soon afterwards. When he allegedly kidnapped and hid fifty beautiful women in one fell swoop, Danish press referred to this as the flummoxing flight of the fabulous fifty. Try saying that three times quickly.

An interior designer named Laerke Lund also attracted Valkendorff's attention. When she stood up to him, he bankrupted her. She had no money or job, but still she wouldn't give in to him. With the help of a few Danish friends, she discovered some of what Valkendorff was doing. It was too bad that she didn't know what the Wilizy were doing.

The University of Toronto's women's basketball coach was another bully. A young Wilizy woman refused to accept his behaviour and paid for it with the loss of her career. She wanted justice and this time she had help from the Wilizy teenagers living in Toronto. Warning: this story line contains some tender romantic scenes if you ignore the one that ends iwith puking.

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.
