"IT would be much more useful if you kids decided your end of year results at the beginning of the year." I looked at him doubtfully. "What do you mean?" "What a cool idea!" Nina interrupted enthusiastically. "Instead of hoping and wishing, you visualise what you want from the start. You could plan on straight As if you wanted to."

"Move over Harry, there's a new wizard in town..."
Move over Harry there's a new wizard in town and her magic isn't confined to the realm of fantasy. Her name's Nina and when she starts a new school her green hair is a beacon of light for Natalie and her friends Billy, Sandy and Clare. Nina talks and thinks differently from normal kids. She's been home schooled most of her life by parents who are away on a spiritual quest in Nepal and have left her in the care of an oddball eccentric aunt and uncle.

As Natalie muses when she first meets them, 'they were definitely the most unusual people I had ever met'. The same day, she is coerced by Nina to think about being 'the creator of your life instead of a victim'. And thus begins the first unofficial lesson of the Mastery Club, which starts to take on magical possibilities as Natalie and her apprentice magician chums enter Nina's world of affirmations, creative visualisation, treasure mapping and universal laws.

Liliane Grace weaves the secrets of "The Secret" into a delightful and spell-binding story for young adults where the real magic is all about self-awareness and self-mastery. Powerful ideas are expressed with utter simplicity - what you think about, you bring about, the universe is like a mirror, whatever you see out there is in here and the more... loving and grateful you are the more... you attract harmonious experiences - as each member of the Master Club strives to 'see the invisible, hear the silent and do the impossible'.

This story is not only fascinating, but also contains considerable wisdom, provided through an intriguing plot. A major character, called Nina, will help you to expand your thinking.

As Dr John Demartini says in in his Foreword to the book, "The plot of the grand story playfully winds and weaves your mind through the deeper questions and lessons of life in a light-hearted and inspirational manner, while making you think deeply about he elusive obvious in your life."

Another character tells a story of being able to pursue a dream career even though it involved overcoming strong objections from her parents.
