Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Nov. 1, 2014)
When good people fail to stand up for what they believe to be right, bad behaviour is provided with a golden opportunity to triumph! Into such environments, bullying is born and permitted to flourish. Maw is born exceptionally small and enters secondary school life to face the school bully. He confronts the bully and challenges him to a boxing match. On the very start of his fourteenth year of life, Maw makes a wish upon a shooting star and from that moment, his life changes. He awakes with super human powers, but quickly learns that with all power comes a responsibility to discharge such power humanely. Later, the school loses its striker from the football team at the semi- final stage of the School League Football Cup and Maw is asked to stand in as the striker. A super story told in the adventure style of writing that was more common in the 40s and 50s. Cassey Blake, an 8-year-old cerebral palsy sufferer befriends a dying foal. This tender and enchanting story tells of how Cassey sleeps by day and works by night to save the life of 'Midnight Fighter', a colt from champion stock, who will never run, jump or walk again without a limp. Share and experience the love, bravery and sheer perseverance expressed between Cassey and her crippled companion.
