The Magic Parcel

The Gathering Storm

Beschreibung

Second in the Magic Parcel Series. Following on from The Magic Parcel:The Awakening, how is Jimmy to escape this one? Miriel helped him and his brother to escape when Seth caught them in their last adventure in The Awakening. There's no one to save Jimmy this time, except, perhaps, for - Ursula. She is determined that her new friend will not become a lost friend. She has shown flashes of her raw and unrefined power, but how can she save Jimmy if she can't find him or control it? What would happen if she unleashed her power in its full force? Jimmy and Ursula are Otherworldlings, and not the only ones needing help in Omni. How would ordinary (and extra-ordinary) Omnians react to the emergence of a new and potentially more destructive threat not only to their stability but also to their very existence?

Autor

Born in 1946 in the West Riding of Yorkshire's coalfields around Wakefield, he attended grammar school, where he enjoyed sport rather more than academic work. After three years at teacher training college in Leeds, he became a teacher in 1967. He spent a lot of time during his teaching career entertaining children of all ages, a large part of which was through telling stories, and encouraging them to escape into a world of imagination and wonder. Some of his most disturbed youngsters he found to be very talented poets, for example. He has always had a wicked sense of humour, which has blossomed only during the time he has spent with his wife, Denise. This sense of humour also allowed many youngsters to survive often difficult and brutalising home environments.In 2006, he retired after forty years working in schools with young people who had significantly disrupted lives because of behaviour disorders and poor social adjustment, generally brought about through circumstances beyond their control. At the same time as moving from leafy lane suburban middle-class school teaching in Leeds to residential schooling for emotional and behavioural disturbance in the early 1990s, changed family circumstance provided the spur to achieve ambitions. Supported by his wife, Denise, he achieved a Master's degree in his mid forties and a PhD at the age of fifty-six, because he had always wanted to do so.Now enjoying glorious retirement, he spends as much time as life will allow writing, reading and travelling.
