The Tale of Maude and Moody and the Giant Tomato (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783947410101)

An Evil Wizard and a Terrible Curse. An island of happiness trying to survive. A hidden treasure that can save the MAGIC.

On a nice little island in the middle of a wide blue ocean people live harmoniously until the day their most generous citizen, a greengrocer named Simon Mood, dies and his unpleasant son takes over. The son is moody by nature and Moody by name and he is under the influence of an evil wizard named Creolas.

That is what people say.

On the north side of the island lives a girl named Maude. After Simon's death, the north is devastated by a drought and food becomes scarce. Hard-hearted Moody is not willing to help out, but while fishing with her father, Maude is able to save another wizard's life. To show his gratitude, he gives them a tomato with magic powers. The tomato shall help the north-islanders, but only for a limited time.

"After that, fate will take over again," the wizard says.

Can Maude change Moody's uncaring and pessimistic nature? And what is the relevance of the mysterious pirate's treasure Maude finds in a dry lake?

The Tale of Maude and Moody and the Giant Tomato is a captivating and enchanting children's story with a sprinkle of pure magic.
