“Oksa Pollock” is a youth bestseller that was first published in France in 2010.
The book has been translated into 25 languages.
The success of “Oksa Pollock” can be compared to the stardom of “Harry Potter”.
The book is being made into a film by the producers of “The Twilight Saga”, which will be released in 2013.
In the first book in the series, “The Last Hope”, strange things start happening to Oksa, who has moved from France to England – for example, her desk catches fire with the power of her thoughts, the contents of moving boxes scatter, and that same night a strange mark appears on the girl’s stomach. After these events, Oksa’s life is no longer the same. The question now is how to balance the lives of an ordinary schoolgirl and a wizard. From her grandmother, Dragomira, who has Slavic roots, Oksa learns that their family comes from the invisible Edefia. Oksa is their last hope of ever returning there.
Excerpt from the book:
Surprising even himself, Oksa quickly disappeared into the sky like a bolt of lightning and passed through thick clouds. Then he reappeared as a tiny speck, quickly growing larger and, like Leomido, approaching the ground headfirst.
“I was super cool, right?” Oksa beamed.
“Don’t talk!” Gus said in admiration.
This book has a magic power:
once you’ve met Oksa,
you can’t live without her anymore
