Abby returns to the Hopplescotch Realm to attend the Techno Festival, but this time it is not all fun and games. Trouble is afoot... Who is behind it? Could it be the Techno Pirates? Or is it the mysterious cloaked wizard? Julie Folkers has really outdone herself with this fantastic new novel. I thoroughly recommend this book.-Jeremiah Rattray, aged 15It is always a joy to see someone move steadily through the stages from writing student to published author. Julie Folkers is a big thinker. Why write one book when I can write a series? This must have been the question in her mind. Anika and the Techno Pirates is the result. That's quite a significant achievement.-Brian Morris, Principal, New Zealand Institute of Business Studies.If you thought Abby was a good read wait till you read this one!It totally blew me away, couldn't stop reading! Action packed action along withmystical stuff that creates a mystery of it's own.Mark Brown Age 15
