Goldenhead: Bodies and Avatars (Volume 1)

"They say your imaginary friends aren't your real friends. But who stands by you when you lose your physical body?" Did you have imaginary friends? Live in imaginary worlds? Were you sure they were really imaginary? Of course you weren't. Goldenhead crosses the barrier between the "real world" and the world they told her was just her "imagination". She meets the friends she dreamed, and finds that some of them thought they were dreaming her. In an anime-style body in an all-girl world, she finds herself among a group of three loyal friends, each separated from her "real" body and each looking now like an anime schoolgirl. They also discover that their new reality is threatened by a terrible evil, and that each of them has unique powers to help them fight that evil. They are launched on an adventure spanning multiple realities. An adventure that is sometimes terrifying, that brings them into contact with many kinds of being, from warrior-maids to sorcerous musicians to tree-spirits; and places from ancient villages to modern cities to ships of the sky. But among all the things they discover, the most beautiful is a depth of love and friendship, of loyalty and kindness, that formerly they could only dream of. ____ Annalinde Matichei?s first book, "The Flight of the Silver Vixen" was hailed by the book blogs: "This rare and exhilarating book is undeniably a must-read" - Inside a Dog "As a science fiction fan I adored this book" - Everything to do with Books "It?s a fun, all-girl, swashbuckling adventure that makes you giddy with joy" - Bibrary Booklust Goldenhead has all the verve, power and intelligence of "The Flight of the Silver Vixen", while going deeper into the realms of fantasy and imagination
