Book Description:
Author Christopher
Conroy has just released a book for kids aged 8-12 called ANZARD. Teachers,
parents, producers...take note! This
appealing and well-written book would give Lewis Carroll (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) reason to worry. As a matter of fact if you mixed in one part Harry Potter, with one part Pinocchio then added a generous helping of Alice
in Wonderland…you’d get Anzard!
ANZARD tells the story
of how a young boy named Justin Cavell learns to listen to that voice inside
him and trust his instincts. He also
learns how his dreams and wishes can come true:
Justin becomes more aware of himself and his potential to turn his
dreams and wishes into reality.
One dark and stormy
night, as Justin is anxiously awaiting the return of his parents and praying
for their safe return from a long overdue plane trip, he is visited by Poofy, a
tiny, magical pixie who comes from the faraway planet, Spiritainia. Justin is escorted to this wonderful world of
Spiritainia by the Anzard pixie, Poofy.
Aside from Poofy, Justin is joined by his own Tribe of Truth – that
include such memorable characters as Regal the Eagle, Turner the Turtle,
Chumpah the Chipmunk and Billy the Goat – define Justin’s inner voice and help
him in his quest of self-discovery.
Justin also learns to
resolve conflict, which arrives in the form of an evil witch named Nosefeen,
and captures Poofy as Poofy is guiding Justin to the Path of Possibilities.
Through these adventures, Justin grows stronger and develops self-esteem, enabling
him to return to Earth, find his parents, and guide them home safely.
ANZARD opens up a world
of rewards for kids who learn to develop and trust their inner voice. The book
helps them to become more aware and enlightened.
The ANZARD book cover
is beautifully illustrated by Peter Green Design of Glendale, California who
also designs for film companies, sporting teams and many other businesses
including DreamWorks, McDonald’s, The Walt Disney Company, LEGOLAND, The NBA,
HBO, FOX Kids Networks, and the “Game of Thrones” fantasy drama television
series, to name a few.
“A timeless, yet very
modern story of a young boy’s journey to a magical new world, filled with
enchanting characters and thrilling adventure.
You owe yourself a trip to Spiritania.”
- Victoria Lucas, Producer
“My nephew loved ANZARD
so much I had to see what got him so excited.
After the first chapter I was hooked.
I normally don’t read this kind of fiction (fantasy) but the storyline
was compelling enough to make me locate the author’s website and post this
review.
Can’t wait to read Mr.
Conroy’s next novel!”
- D. Butler,
Amazon Post
Justin’s story can even
appeal to adults. Says Mr. Conroy, “I
want my readers to come away happier, more aware and enlightened…as a child I
was aware of many things but I constantly invalidated that awareness. I shouldn’t have. Those gifts are precious. Our inner awareness should be nurtured and
cultivated, especially by parents and the child who has those gifts. Maybe some part of Anzard will awaken those
powers.”
