Synopsis

What if you were a kid that had a powerful enemy who never lets you alone? What if that enemy was your own big sister, and all you wanted was for her to be your friend? Shoshi O'Malley is a kid just like this. Her life is hell. She feels totally alone. The family housekeeper, her beloved Signora Pagani, uses her powers (yes, she is a witch) to grow giant vegetables in her garden, but she is unable to protect her young charge, her little Principessa. That is until another supernatural being becomes involved. Everybody has had enough, it seems, of Kelly O'Malley's awful behavior and of Shoshi O'Malley's terrible, nerve-shredding scream. It is the day of her ninth birthday, and everything is about to change. Someone nearby is waiting for an invitation to help. Someone lying in a dusty heap in the back shed is woken by the local bush fairies, who are fed up with the noise and strife. It is the night of the full moon. It is a time when the magic in the land stirs and wakens. It is a time when Salladin Q. Sack, a magnificent flying carpet of Fabled Faroffistan, a magical carpet who has been turned into a jute burlap sack, rises from the dust and flies on missions to help anyone in distress. Shoshi's magic sack is to become an indispensable ally in triumphing over her sister's malice. Incredible adventures with the creatures of the bush and the sea await Shoshi. Other supernatural beings, such as a mysterious python and a rat under an enchantment, will join her on her adventures. Magical powers are acquired, lessons are learned, and confidence is gained. After one last terrible, thrilling, and enlightening journey with the sack, Shoshi has at last come into her own, and everyone has been transformed.

Biographie de l'auteur

Deborah is a former teacher who lives on Sydney's Northern Beaches. She has been a member of the NSW Writers' Centre for seven years and has learned the craft of writing from the many inspirational authors teaching there. This is Deb's first book. It came about as a result of a reminder from one of her sisters about bedtime stories told by Deb, which featured the nocturnal adventures of a child flying on an old sack. The book was great fun to write, and it provided an appropriate vehicle for Deb to express her concern about the perilous state of the biosphere. Deb feels that she must take her characters forward into a sequel and hopes to enjoy the process of growing them up a bit. Deb has a young adult science fiction novel in progress and hopes to complete it in 2016.
