Not wanting to alarm his parents, he keeps it a secret, sharing it only with his sister, Amber. However, he's being watched by the cunning and ruthless Mr Smiggs, a science teacher with a dark past, and who has designs of capturing Sam's ability for himself, with fortune and revenge in mind.

Shipwrecked in the Arctic Tundra, a young Nicholas and his loyal dog, Barry, stumble upon the enchanted and mysterious world of One True North—home to gnomes, fairies, and, of course, magical elves.

Generation Z, often referred to as Gen Z, comprises individuals born roughly between 1997 and 2012. This cohort represents a unique blend of cultural, social, and technological influences, making it distinct from previous generations. Growing up in an era defined by rapid technological advancements and global interconnectedness, Gen Z is the first true generation of digital natives. Unlike Millennials, who witnessed the transition to a digital world, Gen Z was born into it, shaping their worldview and behaviors in profound ways. At the core of Gen Z’s identity is their comfort with technology. From a young age, they have had access to smartphones, social media, and the internet, allowing them to engage with information and people worldwide effortlessly. This exposure has fostered a generation that values diversity, inclusion, and social justice, often using digital platforms to advocate for these causes. Another defining characteristic of Gen Z is their pragmatism. Having grown up during economic instability, such as the Great Recession and its aftermath, they tend to prioritize financial security and practical solutions over idealism. This practical mindset extends to their approach to education and career planning, as they often seek skills and opportunities that offer stability and flexibility.Zum Buch

Born on an alien-controlled colony and with human servants for parents, a good life was never in his future.

From the edge of the colony's inner circle, the true extent of the aliens' wickedness becomes apparent.

True freedom lies in wait if Chad's plan comes off, not just for himself but for every human on the colony. The cost of failure, on the other hand, does not bear thinking about.
