Beschreibung

The last time we saw Winnie, a dead person named Paula was wiping Winnie's memory with a jab from her scorpion's tail. That should have been the end of having a nosy, teenage mortal girl wandering around Heaven where she didn't belong. Good luck with that. Winnie had caught teenageritis. If somebody told her that she couldn't do something, she did it anyway. In terms of her wiped memories, she had figured out a way to retrieve them, no matter how many times Lillian wiped them. It was true that Lillian was not an enthusiastic Winnie fan. This was not personal. The prime directive under which Heaven and Hell operated was that humans could not learn that these entities existed. If the wrong person learned that Winnie had been in Heaven, and remembered the experience, Heaven would be in a lot of trouble. For this reason, Lillian arranged a truce with her. In her persona as Molly Moonblossom, Winnie was allowed to search on Earth for Goodefellow's wife and family and she could use heavenly resources in her quest. In return, Winnie would help Arthur, who believed that Hell had snuck some under-feather devils into Heaven. Winnie proposed a simple strategy to reveal them. Drive the supposed devil suspects crazy. To do that, she and Arthur would have to be sneaky. It should have been easy-peasy except somebody in Heaven was sneakier.

Autor

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.
