A message for parents and teachers: firstly, parents !! This is a unique literary experience which I've prepared for families, schoolchildren and teachers alike. Why unique ? Well, each of the 12 chapters have been carefully written in a certain style, a certain 'genre' which will be useful in its own right, as a separate entity distinct from the rest of the book. At the same time, the book can be read as a flowing, 12 chapter story complete with a beginning, middle and end. Hopefully there will be enough character - development, sub - plots and settings to keep the average primary / elementary school reader happy. Why not read with your child and put on lots of 'silly voices' - it might just excite them ! There's certainly enough super - hero type action in there to keep those 'reluctant - to - read' boys interested ! Now teachers !! Have you ever hunted around for examples of, say, alliteration or varied sentence starters, and the next thing realise you've wasted an hour scouring endless websites ? Well look no further. This book fulfils two criteria. Firstly, it is a story made up of 12 distinctive chapters, each one packed with a certain written style / genre. Each chapter can be used in isolation to provide examples of, for instance, scene - setting, or utilised as a 12 part flowing narrative which can be enjoyed by independent, confident 8, 9 and 10 year old readers (U.K. Years 4 and 5) or by 11 year old pupils (U.K. Year 6) who require consolidation work prior to SAT tests. Secondly, at the back of the book is a comprehension section containing 10 questions per chapter.

A fascinating dialogue between a Pagan and a Christian. Gus DiZerega, an American pagan and and an academic engages in debate with Philip Johnson, an Australian Christian theologian. The two debate questions such as the nature of spirituality, who or what is deity, how humans relate to the divine, the sacred feminine, gender and sexuality, and the teachings and claims of Jesus. At the end of the book another Pagan writer comments on what Philip Johnson has argued, and another Christian comments on what Gus DiZerega has argued. Paganism is acknowledged as the fastest growing 'religion' in western Europe and this book helps readers to engage with it and with orthodox Christian belief.
