Heaven

PARADISE is a fast, fantastical, comic read, through which you might trip over issues of god and grief and terrorism and moral responsibility. Paradise is the story of thirteen year old Cassina Dixon who gets blown up in a suicide bomb and becomes a para-spirit. Para-spirits are someway between the para-normal and a parasite, they need to live in people's heads. Inside the brains of her parents or mad Aunt Lou or the suicide bomber (who survives the explosion, a little twist in its own right...) Cassina has access to thoughts, dreams, memories. But there's a para-spirit rule -- you're not allowed into the heads of children. Why not? Who says so? The suicide bomber has a new mission and it involves a child. Now Cassina faces an impossible choice...
