Book Description
"Rosezinda: Riding Rainbows is a fanciful tale that literally starts out with a 'bang!' Within seconds of being struck by a speeding van, Cora, a plucky outspoken 13-year-old, is taken on the thrill ride of her young life. Arriving in a new reality called 'E' and renamed Rosezinda, she encounters a collection of colorful individuals who take her on a series of hair-raising adventures. "This quirky and somewhat edgy story had me hooked from its exciting beginning to the surprise ending. I didn't want to put it down until I had read the last word; even then, I found myself turning the page, wanting more. The evocative imagery and eccentric characters are worthy of a Spielberg movie (especially the wonderful 'basketball game,' which is unlike any basketball game the reader could ever imagine)! "Though the story's intended audience is children-who I believe will be entranced by it-it may be enjoyed on multiple levels by older readers. Parents may wish to read Rosezinda: Riding Rainbows with their children and discuss some of the provocative questions it brings up. I'm anxious to read more of Rosezinda's adventures! I applaud Parker on his originality and creativity." -Linda R. Thompson, Ed.D., Director of Student Support Services, Harding University, Arkansas "John Parker's book is exciting because it includes the things that are important in life. When I grow up, I will make a movie out of it if there isn't one by then." -12-year-old Alex in grade six, Vancouver, BC. "Parker has created a wonderful magical world that is totally against the readers' perception of reality, but which seems entirely plausible." -Monique Trottier, Raincoast Publishers "I predict that Rosezinda will become a classic." -Dr. Jennifer Hurd, Senior Consultant, Houghton Mifflin "I can size Rosezinda up in one word: BRILLIANT." -R. Rudolph, Harmony House Publishers More Praise for Rosezinda inside

Book Description
Francesca Saxon, artist and loyal citizen of the nation, is thrilled when she receives a commission to design the central mural of an epic new swimming pool: the jewel in the crown for an insecure regime obsessed by propaganda. Leaving the comfort of her coastal hometown for the lap of luxury of the capital, she is swept up in the paranoia of a government threatened by underground revolutionaries, whose promise of a freer, happier future looks increasingly appealing. Torn between rival factions and her personal loyalties, she realizes that when ideology has a stranglehold on art, the picture is rarely pretty.
