From the award-winning author of Shadow of the Hawk, K.S. Jones, comes her next masterpiece, Black Lightning:
Life moves on â no matter whatâŚ
Following his fatherâs puzzling disappearance and his motherâs death, ten-year-old Samuel Baker goes through the motions of living in a world turned upside down. He wears an Apache talisman, a long ago gift from his father, in hopes its promise of strength and guidance is true. But what he truly wants is the power to bring his parents back.
Heartless Aunt Janis is elated at the prospect of becoming Samuelâs legal guardian. She is sure an orphan boy will elicit such an outpouring of public sympathy that her husband will win his Senate bid by a landslide. But when Grandpa Tate arrives, things donât go as expected, especially when black lightning strikes!
âIf youâve forgotten the magic that lives in a childâs heart, this book will remind you. Black Lightning is a rare and beautiful mythic journey about one boyâs struggle with paralyzing grief and the powerful bonds that can carry a person through this world and beyondâŚâ W.
