Editorial Reviews

Review

Ada Aharoni has done it again, with this superb new poetry collection - moving, deep, reverberating and challenging. -- Literary Review

The poet and writer Ada Aharoni with this new poetry collection has shown us that she is one of the great poets of our century. -- M. Fawzi Deif

From the Inside Flap

"Ada Aharoni is not only a major Israeli writer but also a unique universal writer and poet. Her exciting, informative and moving books are a cause for delight, gratitude and celebration. She is exceptionally brave, and her historical novel: "From the Nile to the Jordan," as well as all of her books appearing on Amazon.com, dare tell stories where no others have ventured before. They shine with deep and challenging truths about life, women, and the vision of a world beyond war and famine. She shrinks from no emotional, ethical or moral complexity.... She is a marvelous writer!

Born in Cairo, Egypt, and spending some years in the US, Ada Aharoni now lives in Haifa, Israel. She won several prestigious prizes and awards, and she was elected one of the 100 World Heroines, in Rochester, New York, in celebration of the Women's Movement founded by Susan B. Anthony. All of Ada Aharoni's books are highly recommended, and I give five stars to each of them."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Exquisite Fragrance of Peace Flower, March 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: You and I Can Change the World (Paperback)

This is a most exciting book for all ages. It transports us into a world of magic in the future where the Peace Flower blossoms. Heroic, smart and lovable Lee and Ron,succeed to bring the exquisite Flower of Peace back into our present on earth, where it is so much needed.

Lee and Ron are pursued in their extraordinary adventures in space by the dangerous and destructive nuclear giant Nuki; but they succeed to escape his cruel clutches. With the help of Muzi, the most ultra Hi-Tech spacial car, that speaks and laughs, and Petra, their magic guide, the sister of Peter Pan, they penetrate the Future, and joyfully accomplish their mission.

Those two courageous youngsters succeed to overcome Nuki; to reduce him to a toy dinosaur and to imprison him forever, with the help of the exquisite fragrance of the Peace Flower, which they profusely pour into his eyes. Thus they save our Planet from destruction. As representatives of the new generation, they recreate our Planet, as a beautiful World Beyond War, which we all yearn for.

This book is a Must for all! Its magic is more exciting and impressive than even that of Harry Potter, and far more meaningful, for it is a powerful allegory symbolic of our own lives and times. Children love it, young people adore it, and adults buy it for their children, but grab it and read it first...
