Overview

"What would make you give up the real world to live in paradise? That question is at the heart of my 83,000-word Young Adult novel Salamangka. When 15 year olds Marisol Garcia and Yussuf Yacoubi discover a magical portal to a colorful utopia, they must make a choice: live forever in paradise or at home. Life in Los Angeles is tough for these teenagers, who face discrimination and other issues that make living in the fantasy world Salamangka appealing. But is paradise really everything that it seems? This contemporary story will appeal to fans of issues-driven novels and urban fantasy books." -- Abstract
