What happens when you push open the White Gate that shouldn’t be there? Meet courageous and … er … foolhardy, pigheaded, daredevil, scared, heart-broken, over-worked, hurting, generous and irresistible teenage characters. In this, the first of four books, The Kicking Tree, we encounter Jack from Planet Earth, aged 18, angry and drifting, and Jalli, 17, from Planet Raika in Andromeda’s Jallaxa system, both wondering who they really are, what they should be doing next and asking if the choices they are presented with are worth anything at all. Follow them to a beautiful garden where their adventures begin and their lives are turned upside down. The strange new worlds they find are challenging but Jack and Jalli always seem to have what it takes to overcome and even be an answer to a prayer for those they meet until, one day very close to home, their world comes crashing down. Should they have ever fallen for the promise of adventure, of love even?
