Ursula and Eric are characters readers can relate to and whose
super powers are within their reach. Ursula is originally from
Africa and promises to be the
first significant superhero for girls regardless of colour,
nationality or race. In a genre in which girls are seen as
side-kicks or sub-plots, along comes a female character who is
central to an entire series of books. This is not to say that
the internationally educated Eric is irrelevant. There are
more than three million students being educated worldwide who now
have a hero who shares their experience and can truly be described
as a global citizen.
Super powers are possible! Ninety years ago the women's
100 metre record was 13.6 seconds and the men's 10.4. It was
considered impossible to break 11 or 10 seconds - only a superwoman
or superman could do it - now it is considered the norm for world
class sprinters. They have achieved what earlier athletes
would have classed as super. Eric and Ursula's super
abilities lie in what is humanly possible through dedicated pratice
rather than what is impossible. Inspiring readers to achieve
more themselves without thinking 'nobody can do that'.
On Amazon people are already saying "this is a gripping book,"
"a really worthy debut" and "a fantastic read."
An Extra-Ordinary Beginning is an extraordinary book that
excites the reader with twists and turns, intrigue and fast-paced
action, leaving the reader desperate to read more of 'The
Adventures of Eric and Ursula.'
