A thrilling supernatural adventure story. Mel always knew she was different.There were the visions.Then the boy from the past. When the authorities of a tyrannical state learn about a young girl’s uncanny ability to translate an ancient and possibly illegal text they decide to keep her under surveillance. But they have no idea what extraordinary powers the text is about to unleash nor what strange coincidences will lead her not only to resolving a terrible crime in the past but also to discovering a devastating secret. 'This is writing of a high standard inspired by a sense of energy. The writer’s enthusiasm transmits to readers and keeps them turning the pages. This has all the potential to be a commercial success.' (Cornerstones) 'This book is a great, roller coaster of a plot with realistic and intriguing characters. Some truly lovely writing.' (New York Children’s Literary Agency) 'Mandala is an original and exciting story, a gripping book full of suspense. The dictator society and what happens to curfew breakers was really scary. Great stuff.' Anne Brooke author of 'A Dangerous Man'
