About this series
Stay tuned for another fantastic episode of Black Hole Radio – Ka’Azula!
Fifth-graders Hawk, Matt and Celeste have been given special gifts by the amazing aliens they’ve met so far on their intergalactic adventures. ESP and telekinesis come in handy when they are transported to the racist planet, Ka’Azula, where only blue skin is accepted. They have an action-packed adventure in a matrix-type video game with azulanimals and azulizards and a tricky escape room finale. With help from a sweet, red-skinned alien named Teal, they prove that what counts is not outside skin color but what's on the inside. But does Matt now understand what his father’s family has to endure on Planet Earth?
“Friendship, peace, and acceptance are the themes in Black Hole Radio. Even if it doesn’t yet apply to alien races in ‘real-life’ it is still something everyone should strive for in their lives. In a sense, the author wants her readers to apply the same beliefs in love, peace, and friendship that Hawk and Matt [and Celeste] share.”

A radio left behind by Hawk’s grandfather opens a wormhole to outerspace – one through which the two fifth-graders are transported to a planetoid in a far-off galaxy.

Ann Birdgenaw is a librarian in an elementary school and always wanted to write a book of her own. She was inspired to write this story by a strange beeping coming from a box in her garage. When COVID-19 hit Canada and everyone was in quarantine or lock down, she had lots of time to imagine being sucked through a wormhole to other planets and what wonderful things she might find there. Ann lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada with her family and two morkies: Bilbo and Sheba.
