Hogan and the Scourge of Icknog by Cay Gee

Bullied at school because he's different, Ilia is a loner living a secret life. He has the gift of second sight, a paranormal ability which enables him to see bad things happen, wherever they happen. _x000D_ When Ilia's visions suddenly enter a new dimension he discovers his other-self. A powerful non-human entity, who not just observes but delivers his own kind of justice to those who transgress. _x000D_ But that's not the only secret he's trying to keep. Ilia has a big crush on Mbali. She's the most popular girl in his classroom but he's too shy to tell her how he feels. _x000D_ Then, on one particular day, everything changes. Found in a trance-like state in the school yard, Ilia is cruelly taunted by the other students as he endures a disturbing vision. Mbali comes to his defence and the pair unite in their efforts to find a young boy who's been kidnapped. _x000D_ The kidnapping also attracts Hogan's attention. He's a very special dog; a super canine who's on a mission of his own. He also has a secret. Hogan might look like everyman's best friend but in reality he's not of this planet. He's a Freewheeler. His job is to protect the universal master plan and to make sure that it stays on course. _x000D_ On his arrival on earth, Hogan soon realises that the kidnapped boy is just part of a bigger picture. The future of humankind is at risk, infected by the scourge of Icknog and at the mercy of an alien force intent on taking over the world. _x000D_ Will Hogan, Ilia and Mbali join forces? Can they stop those from within and beyond who are intent on destroying planet earth?
