Sangu Mandanna

    Sangu Mandanna objavila svoju vášeň pre písanie v útlom veku, keď ju na lesnej ceste prenasledoval slon, čo ju inšpirovalo k napísaniu jej prvého príbehu. V priebehu rokov a mnohých ďalších rukopisov dospela k podpisu svojej prvej knižnej zmluvy. Jej tvorba je svedectvom jej vytrvalosti a hlbokého porozumenia pre umenie rozprávania.

    Veľmi tajný spolok svojráznych čarodejníc
    • Hrejivý „cosy fantasy“ román sleduje osudy osamelej čarodejnice, ktorá dostane šancu osvojiť si podivnú novú rodinu, čo jej zmení život. Mika Mesačná, jedna z mála čarodejníc v Británii, sa naučila skrývať svoje magické schopnosti a dodržiavať pravidlá, aby nepritiahla pozornosť. Ako sirota bola vychovávaná cudzími ľuďmi a zvykla si na samotu. Jedinou výnimkou je jej internetový profil, kde zverejňuje videá, v ktorých predstiera, že je čarodejnica. Keď dostane naliehavú správu, aby odcestovala do záhadného Nikdedomu a naučila tri malé čarodejnice ovládať mágiu, súhlasí, aj keď porušuje všetky pravidlá. Rýchlo sa zapletie do životov svojich zverenkýň a ostatných obyvateľov, vrátane Jamieho, atraktívneho knihovníka, ktorý považuje cudzincov za hrozbu. Postupne si v Nikdedome nachádza svoje miesto a predstava, že by mohla niekam patriť, sa stáva čoraz pravdepodobnejšou. No keď sa objaví nebezpečenstvo, Mika sa musí rozhodnúť, či je ochotná riskovať všetko pre ochranu rodiny, ktorú si ani neuvedomovala, že hľadá.

      For fans of the Aru Shah and Serpent's Secret series, this action-packed fantasy-adventure sees a girl's drawings of Indian mythology spring to vivid life--including the evil god who seeks to enter the real world and destroy it. Kiki Kallira has always been a worrier. Did she lock the front door? Is there a terrible reason her mom is late? Recently her anxiety has been getting out of control, but one thing that has always soothed her is drawing. Kiki's sketchbook is full of fanciful doodles of the rich Indian myths and legends her mother has told her over the years. One day, her sketchbook's calming effect is broken when her mythological characters begin springing to life right out of its pages. Kiki ends up falling into the mystical world she drew, which includes a lot of wonderful discoveries like the band of rebel kids who protect the kingdom, as well as not-so-great ones like the ancient deity bent on total destruction. As the one responsible for creating the evil god, Kiki must overcome her fear and anxiety to save both worlds--the real and the imagined--from his wrath. But how can a girl armed with only a pencil defeat something so powerful?
