Who is Amanda Patters really? What is her actual purpose for sending ten ‘seekers’ to an idyllic but extremely remote Indian Ocean island? Why would anyone want to spend seventy days completely cut off from the world?
Through the eyes of her protagonist, Sarah Blake, Gillian Leggat explores life on a remote island which has its fair share of dangers and dramas, explores human nature when it is stripped of all 21st-century conveniences and delves into fundamental questions about life.
Good is pitted against evil as two groups with vastly different purposes battle it out for the conquest not only of souls but also of bodies. Which group will ultimately triumph, and at what cost to both the individual ‘seekers’ and the local inhabitants? Will justice prevail? And will any of the characters finally discover the true meaning of life?
This thought-provoking original novel will appeal to readers who enjoy surprises as they journey with the characters to search for answers to life’s mysteries.
Julia and her friends win a trip to Egypt, little suspecting the dangerous trap into which they are flying. Is it a coincidence that their tour guide, Nenet, bears an uncanny resemblance to Livedia? As they are escorted around ancient sites, Julia’s concern about her own sanity and the safety of her friends grows – especially when Nenet’s assistant, ‘Professor’ Menod, performs weird, alarming tricks. But it is Nenet who shocks Julia the most.
When she exerts her considerable power over Sean, Julia has to learn great resilience as she takes over his role as leader. Will she be able to stand up to this dangerous woman again without Sean, but with help from a surprising ally?
This book, the thrilling conclusion to an exciting trilogy, will captivate readers wanting to find out the fate of the characters in The Golden Highway and The Diamond Pathway.
It can also stand alone as a page-turning and thought-provoking adventure.
Julia and her friends Sean, Tanya, Thabo and Kyle find themselves trapped in a mysterious underground cave system , a famous heritage site in the middle of the bushveld.
Julia is searching for her parents who disappeared here and are presumed dead - but she won't give up hope.
As Tanya, Thabo and Kyle follow a misguided path to imprisonment and debauchery, Julia and Sean must stay one step ahead of the wicked Livedia and her henchmen to evade the clutches of evil, to find her parents and escape this world of deceit.
With a little help from new friends Moses, Zechariah and Balaam, will they complete their quest or fall prey to Livedia's tricks?
Julia is about to find out, but first she has to have faith...
Julia owns a very precious toy that she won’t part with: her glinting angel with the golden halo. But when she proudly takes her to school, disaster strikes. Someone else can’t take her eyes off Angelica: untidy, ignored Sally. Is God asking her to share? Suddenly, she has a brainwave. She’ll give Sally her rag doll who is definitely not precious. But she can’t fool God who knows her heart. When she does reluctantly share her angel, she gets a beautiful, big surprise.
The Biggest Blessing is an important, moving story about the power of sharing. Not only will this charming story delight young children, but because of its relevant message, it will also be an extremely useful resource for teachers and parents.
