Ato The Giant Slayer

About the Book

If you like comedy, fantasy, heart-pounding excitement and adventure, then this book is for you.

Ato is a lonely young boy with a world of problems: his father has recently passed away; his horrid mates at school think he is crazy; and to crown it all he is a little frightened of, well almost everything.

His world brightens up for a moment when a weird angel called Sunshine, who dresses like a clown and is giggly, chubby and quite a sport, becomes his friend. She even brings to life his one and only playmate, an old telephone booth, broken and abandoned for years.

However, just when he is beginning to feel happy for the first in months, he is shocked to learn that he is supposed to be a member of a secret organisation called Giant Slayers, which has existed for thousands of years. But in order to assume this great responsibility, Ato must overcome his fears and embrace his fate.

What kind of giants is he supposed to slay? Can this timid boy do it? Is it true that there is a prophecy about a little Giant Slayer who shall mark a new era in the life of the organisation?

About the Author

Ernest remembers with nostalgia the pure excitement he felt whenever, as a young boy, he went to the library with his siblings to borrow as many as fifty books at a time for as many times as they wanted every year.

It was at this stage that he fell in love with writing. A few of the essays he wrote in his English class during his early years at secondary school were read to the other classes by his teachers who were enthralled by the quality of his work.

At the age of thirteen, Ernest wrote his first book, inspired tremendously by the works of British author, Enid Blyton. He has since written a few more books, which he hopes to publish soon and which include comic plays for young readers and a collection of poems.

Ernest holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and Master of Science in Refugee Studies. He presently lives in London with his lovely wife, Laydi-Anis.
