Synopsis

Two very special novellas herald the arrival of a major new voice in international literature.Pobby And Dingan is a contemporary fable, a heartbreaking and beautiful parable about the possibility of dreams, the preciousness of hope and how the imagination of one little girl and the faith of a brother's love, can sustain the soul of a community. Told with the honesty and integrity only a child can possess, this tale will capture your heart and thrill your soul.In SPECKS IN THE SKY, Ryder Jarvis lives with his mother and sister on a derelict 'camel safari center' in the US. The 'specks in the sky' turn out to be an elite team of parachutists who have to bail out of their aircraft during their top-secret mission. Nothing is as it seems in this bizarre and entertaining tale about identity and familiarity.
