Aria lives on a well-ordered planet whose people have
eradicated illness and even death. Earth is their
‘shadow planet’ which they populated with humans
centuries ago so they could study them and learn from their
experiences. Now the experiment is coming to an end and Aria
must go to Earth with her scientist father to set off a
train of events which will destroy its people. Brought up to
believe that humans are inferior, Aria is shocked
to discover that she is herself half human, and amazed to
find that Earth-dwellers live life to the full
and feel love for each other, even though they are mortal.Â
But once she understands this, how can she save them, and
herself, from destruction?
A Magical Adventure David knew that one should be prepared for
anything when one climbs a mountain, but he never dreamed what he
would find that June morning on the mountain ledge. There stood an
enormous bird, with a head like an eagle, a neck like a swan, and a
scarlet crest. The most astonishing thing was that the bird had an
open book on the ground and was reading from it This was David's
first sight of the fabulous Phoenix and the beginning of a pleasant
and profitable partnership. The Phoenix found a great deal lacking
in David's education-he flunked questions like "How do you tell a
true from a false Unicorn?"-and undertook to supplement it with a
practical education, an education that would be a preparation for
Life. The education had to be combined with offensive and defensive
measures against a Scientist who was bent on capturing the Phoenix,
but the two projects together involved exciting and hilarious
adventures for boy and bird. A wonderful read-aloud book,
adventurous and very funny, with much of the magic as well as the
humor of the fantastic.
