Published August 2021 | Pages 320 | Paperback

Dave and Nia are not typical teenagers. While they try to understand their special abilities, experimenting with these together can only take them so far. Out of nowhere, an environmental organisation brings them together with other teens. Are these teens like Dave and Nia? Is there more to this organisation than the environment? Together Dave and Nia start their journey towards awakening, comprehension and understanding.

To complicate things, Nia is in love, she has been since she was five. She cringes at the cliché, but she can’t help herself. She is in love with Dave, her best friend, the boy next door and the most popular boy in school. How does he feel about her? He likes her, but is that enough? Why doesn’t he date? After a blow to her already shaky confidence, Nia decides it’s time to act. Even if this wrecks everything. Even if she isn’t worthy. It’s time.

This feel good story takes our teens on a new direction, out of their ordinary world. Can they help the darkness in people around them? Can they help the environment?
