The Magic in the Pool of Making
Astute readers will see the Biblical, Good v Evil parallels in this absorbing read. Others might just enjoy it for the eco-adventure that it appears to be on the surface, albeit a little painful and gruelling in parts. Manny, a mystical sandboy, is rescued by Johin, one of the privileged mud people, and so begins for them a mission to save the parched, polluted planet and its people from the destruction that's inevitable. But will the people listen to their saviour and will Brilliance, the malevolent power, conquer all in the end?
