Description
<p>"I am strong, and my flash is bright, And I will defend you and make things all right." These are the magic words to call upon Manner-Man - a superhero who can help control bullies and teach children ways to be considerate of others. Manner-Man arrives, shouting "To the Rescue", helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.' He teaches that if someone starts pushing, just shout out "not nice!" Meet the children who form the Manner-Man team and find out how to join! Manner-Man incorporates messages and characters found within some of Cannon's earlier books - helping children learn how to cope with bullies and look within themselves for their inner superhero! This is the fifth rhyming children's book by this award-winning author whose other bestselling books include Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won a dozen awards for her four previous rhyming books and is also the author of six published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called "a modern day Dr.Seuss" - GMTA Review. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>
Story Behind The Book
Shadowchaser was my first novel, originally published in paperback, and now available only as an Amazon Kindle exclusive. The long promised - oft put off - sequel is coming soon...honest.
Reviews
<div>Electa Graham, Author</div><br /><div>Mr. Hulse has written a beautifully crafted tale of good vs evil. I have read many books with this theme, hell vs heaven literal and figurative. What makes Shadowchaser such an enjoyable read is the poetic way the author describes each character and scene. The characters are vivid and three dimensional. Martin is flawed, but sympathetic. The antagonists are perhaps the most interesting and intense.</div><div>Clive Barker is one of my favourite horror novelists and Mr. Hulse has a lot in common with him. His worlds are so real to the reader that you don't question the fantastical or the mythical. Shadowchaser has the same feel. I enjoyed it immensely and intend to read his other book The Blue Hour. Give this author a read and you won't be disappointed. </div>
