Join the kids on their fun adventure as they meet some weird and wonderful characters and unravel the mysteries.Whilst Abby and the Hopplescotch Realm was a fun read, Julie Folkers' second novel, Anika and the Techno Pirates, is action-packed from cover to cover. Abby returns to the Hopplescotch Realm to attend the Techno Festival, but this time it's not all fun and games. Trouble is afoot... Who is behind it? Could it be the Techno Pirates? Or is it the mysterious cloaked wizard? Julie Folkers has really outdone herself with this fantastic new novel. I thoroughly recommend this book.- Jeremiah Rattray, aged 15It is always a joy to see someone move steadily through the stages from writing student to published author. Julie Folkers is a big thinker. "Why write one book when I can write a series?" This must have been the question inher mind. Anika and the Techno Pirates is the result. That's quite a significant achievement.-Brian Morris, Prinicpal, New Zealand Insittute of Business Studies
