Hat with sky
Little Tony is growing into a powerful witch. It's time to find out what that entails...
Two years after defeating the Queen of the Fairies, eleven-year-old Tonica Bolavá sets out into the world to further develop her innate talent for magic. As Miss Equilibrium's apprentice, she quickly understands that her main mission will be to help other people selflessly. But some of the local magic adepts among her peers see it differently and look down on the competitor, who lacks the proper occult paraphernalia and has her feet firmly on the ground. And what's even worse: Tonica has a dangerous malevolent weapon at her heels, seeking to take over her mind and body. Fortunately, even a rope road from her native Cretaceous does not face the deadly threat alone. She has a band of intrepid Nac Mac Fiends on hand who would give their lives for her haboon bosorbabu, and she also gets help from the famous witch Babi Zlopočasné. Can they work together to banish the demonic creature that has driven many a brilliant mind in Earth's history mad?
The audiobook is part of a series of stories about Tonika Bolavá in the series THE AMAZING EARTH. A young sorceress puts up an uphill battle against an insidious enemy inside her own head.

(1948-2015)The British writer's literary talent was already evident at the age of 13, when his short story The Hades Business (1963) was published in a school magazine. He studied art, history and English, and then began to study journalism, which he did not complete because he accepted an offer to work as a journalist. Gradually he worked in several editorial offices of regional and national newspapers, at the beginning of the 1980s he became a spokesman for an electricity company and since 1987 he has been devoting himself entirely to writing. His first book, The Cobblers, was published in 1971, but an important turning point in his career was the publication of the novel The Colour of Magic from the Amazing Earth series - others followed and the series grew to more than thirty books (his work was translated into Czech by Jan Kantůrek). In 1990, he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman the humorous story of the birth of the Antichrist, Good Omens (1990, Czech: 1997). In 1998, the Queen of England awarded him the Order of the British Empire for his literary achievements and "service to literature".
