Produktbeschreibung
Life has changed at Life of Hope in the decades since Earth tipped back to a flourishing biome. People work together, connected through a telepathic network, to keep their planet healthy. Each person develops additional magical powers in their teen years that help them find their place in the community. However, Fania's seventeen-year-old, Saki, is adrift-they don't yet know what their unique abilities are nor how they'll contribute meaningfully to the world. Everything changes when Saki discovers a long-buried secret and finds themself raising a precocious young dragon named Chiyo. As Saki begins to tap into new powers, some family members foresee an uncertain future for their lands. Darkness creeps into the lands and hearts of their community in the form of strangers who join with a villager intent on destroying everything that is precious, creating conflict among community members. The stakes are high, for those who prevail will determine whether Earth survives. Sensitively told, richly imagined, and filled with unforgettable characters, Spelldrifts follows the next generation of young people after Fania and Nuna's adventures in Spindrifts.
Autorenporträt
A-M Mawhiney was deeply moved by the events of 2020 and the cries from advocates fighting for equity and justice for people living precarious lives because of structural barriers and discrimination. As a former social worker and academic she has spent her career seeking ways to improve lives of marginalized learners through inclusive education for all students. Mawhiney has hope for a better future for us all. Her vision of what this might look like inspired her to write Spindrifts. Anne-Marie lives in Sudbury, Ontario, in the territory of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek in the Robinson-Huron Treaty Area, with Dave McGill and their canine companion, Charlie.
