Astrid-20 Elizabeth Battaglia

It all started with a dream. Or should we say nightmare?When ten-year-old Jackson gets attacked by an imaginary two-headed wolf during his sleeping hours, it's almost as if it's a prophesy of what's about to happen to the world when he wakes up. Birds start swooping out of the sky and attacking people for no apparent reason. Normally friendly dogs become fiends. Petting zoos become 'biting' zoos. And farmers around the globe become terrified as animals turn on humans. There's obviously trouble in the air. And yes, that's precisely where it is. Look up and look out! Because it's never rained like this before. In the wake of the real life pandemic that has swept the planet, comes the fictional account by esteemed author and teacher Elizabeth Battaglia. Read her first children's novel ASTRID-20 and you will wonder... It couldn't really happen. Or could it ?
