Margaret Mahy

    21. březen 1936 – 23. červenec 2012

    Margaret Mahy byla uznávaná novozélandská autorka, jejíž díla se často ponořila do nadpřirozeného, aby prozkoumala hluboké lidské vztahy a složitosti dospívání. Její sugestivní próza a jedinečná schopnost zachytit psychologii postav ji odlišují jako významnou postavu v literatuře pro mladé čtenáře. Mahy mistrně proplétala magické prvky s univerzálními tématy lásky, ztráty a sebepoznání, čímž vytvořila poutavé a myšlenkově provokující příběhy. Její odkaz spočívá v jejím trvalém vlivu na generace čtenářů a v nadčasové kvalitě jejích děl, které nadále rezonují s dětmi i dospělými.

      Lauru opět potkalo jedno z jejích 'varování' předpovídajících, že se něco stane. Něco neobvyklého. A hrozného. Dívčina matka, Kate, tomu ale nepřikládá význam a pošle Lauru normálně do školy. Na cestě domu se ale Laura a její malý bráška Jacko zatoulají do nového obchodu. Pan Carmody Tique, kterému tenhle obchod patří se ale Jacka dotkne a tím na něm zanechá nějaké znamení.. Od toho dne je Jacko jako vyměněný a zdá se, že se z něj jakoby vytrácí život. Co pro něj Laura může udělat? A jakou roli tu má tajemný Sorry od Laury ze školy?
