Andersen Light

by Tanya D Dawson

Overview

In this coming-of-age novel, a bullying incident catapults a young girl into a fantastical new world...

Fourteen and a half-year-old Georgie Ray Jones rockets beyond the tattered remnants of her self-confidence to save her siblings from an innuendo-charged family life and the stepdad she's dubbed Jackass.

Now living in Mystic Creek, Oregon with her dad, Georgie discovers her life as she once knew it will change forever. After her friend Shawn is pummeled by a dodgeball thrown by a bully, Georgie intervenes, only to send the bully flying across the schoolyard.

Reeling with shock and worry, but fueled by a wildfire of inner metamorphosis, she searches for answers, but it is family friend Luther Andersen - lighthouse keeper, mystic, and professor - who explains she is meta-normal.

This is the day Luther has been waiting for.

Editorial Reviews

"Entering this book was entering a mysterious life unfolding in a lighthouse with engaging characters, each with their own developing talents, contributing to each other. I found it thought-provoking and am intrigued by the meta- normal abilities being revealed. I want more in this series from this writer!"

"Reading this book transported me into their world, where anything is possible." -Rev. Bonnie

"Richly imagined and vividly written, Andersen Light transports readers into a world where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. Discovering who we are and becoming who we were meant to be is life's greatest adventure-and even more if you are a "meta." Georgie and her friends inspire us to seek the inner meta in each of us and remind us that the greatest superpowers of all are love and friendship. Can't wait to read the next installment in Tanya Dawson's Mystic Creek series!" -Steve Byers
