Produktbeschreibung
Imagine a world where history and nature took a slightly different path... Harold won the Battle of Hastings in 1066, the DNA spiral is left-handed, dragons are real, werewolves can get a pension, electricity doesn't work...and magic does. England is a twenty-first-century world of steam buggies and airships, a world in which magic is the science that binds the fabric of society. This science could offer a great future for its students, including sixteen-year-old Garreth Aldredge. In The Other Side of Magik, Garreth, along with Danny, his double in the parallel universe that is our universe, are sucked into each other's world because a mandrake needs a body to inhabit, a body that is impervious to magic. Can Wizard Emeritus Salamander Ord save Danny from being inhabited by the soul of an evil mandrake and return Garreth and Danny to their rightful worlds? There is an alternative reality to the universe we know and understand. A very close and similar reality that is almost exactly the same, almost normal and familiar...except for some minor deviations. History there took a slightly different path. The Other Side of Magik is a mesmerising story that may just be true... if you allow yourself to believe.
Autorenporträt
Michael Lingaard is a daydreamer. He was dragged around the world from a very early age - new countries, new people, new dreams. Born in England, he was taken as a young kid to Australia, where his parents had dreams of a new life. At twelve years of age, those dreams took them to New Zealand where college, then engineering gave him that which he draws on today: inquisitiveness, logic, appreciation of the written word, the ability to just think and day-dreaming. He later moved to Australia to chase a career, got married, had two children, then started a business. However, the daydreams never went away, so he decided to convert them into making stuff up and putting it down in books.
