Seven For A Secret
In 'Seven For A Secret' Holly
and George sneak out of a gloomy bereavement party, held in
memory of their sister Helen, who had died suddenly, a year
earlier. Outside they meet six mischievous Magpies who whisk
them away on a magical adventure to meet Helen in an
unimaginably beautiful other-world. Here they come to understand
how to live through their loss in a positive, playful and
productive way.
The
timeless secrets of the universe are revealed to them from all
sorts of unexpected encounters: Old Harry - Helen’s kind,
eccentric Guide; the dashing Jody - a young Kite-surfing expert;
an Angel, the ever-present magpies, a Rock, a Lake, the Wind and
many other colourful characters, who guide them towards an
empowering and calm acceptance of life’s challenges, choices and
delights.

I loved this book...
James' style of
writing is imaginative, thought provoking and
totally engaging. Within the first three pages I was hooked and
found it very difficult to put down. Not only is a fabulous
story, as it unfolds, the characters invite us to consider where
we are in our lives and how ultimately we will choose to say
goodbye to this journey on earth.
I am reading it to my godchildren whose grandfather has recently
died. They may not yet fully understand the impact of what is
currently happening to them but the insights they are getting
will be invaluable in the future as they grow up. For most of
the time they just think that they are listening to a wonderful
adventure story.
Thank you James for your creativity and thoughtfulness. I
recommend this book most highly.

An absolutely powerful experience
It has been an
absolutely powerful experience, and I think it should be
read by all-- children and adults. Then, we might all have a
more optimistic, loving, and gracious way of being and
living, and not fret so much about the temporal. What joy
and innocence and hope spring through all the pages.
I cannot hear or see a bird without thinking of
James' magpies and when I smell or see honeysuckle I think
of the beyond and the miracle of the here and now. The
imperative to see each natural creation and each human being
as something or someone from whom we can learn is indeed a
valuable dictum. And, to take time to be still and look
inside and outside oneself, and to hear the still small
voice of the eternal. To me, though James may not have
intended it, this book enhances my Christian faith - that we
are here to take joy in the glorious dance of life.

A gift for the
lost
I approached this book expecting it to be a vehicle for a
child. I was charmed and delighted to find that as an adult,
it had universal appeal and was one of the most accessible
books that I have read. The language is easy on the mind and
the idea is clear, non-dictatorial and does not leave one
with the feeling of sensationalism that many books which
deal with this subject matter often do.
The author's belief is that the soul never dies, but lives
through a series of 'life lessons' in order to experience
and grow. The idea is both comforting and plausible and I
feel that this book could be of real benefit to those who
are recently bereaved or who are suffering with terminal
illness, either personally or with a loved one.
I would like to see this book on the shelves of every school
and believe that adults and children alike would benefit
from it's serene message. It would be a helpful aid in group
discussion, preferably with adults and children present. In
this world of confusion and conflict, I found it a little
oasis of relief and my children are absorbed in it too.
