Soon she attracts the attention of three men: gorgeous Zep, mysterious Justin, and the great, enigmatic choreographer Josef Zhalkovsky. When Josef asks Vanessa to dance the lead in the Firebird, she has little idea of the danger that lies ahead - and the burning forces about to be unleashed . . .

Timothy Top is a grade school kid going through a hard
time. His parents are constantly quarreling, and he's feeling like an outsider
among his classmates. His fascination with nature and superheroes makes for an
unusual combination that few of his peers can relate to. But when a crooked
businessman moves into the neighborhood with plans to “reinvent the local
park” into a concrete monstrosity devoid of nature and life, Timothy sets
out on a mission to save a famous tree from the bulldozers. Being just a kid, he
doesn't know how he'll be able to go about this, until one night he discovers
that he's been given the power of a magical green thumb that can heal and grow
plant life! He's a superhero! But will he be able to use this power to save the
park or the relationship between his parents?
A
simple tale but with many layers, this first volume supports respect for the
environment, as well as dealing with bullies, quarreling parents, and school
expectations. Future volumes tiptoe into other topics such as discrimination,
forgiveness, and commitment.
Now a major motion picture!
