About the author


My name is Konstantinos Adamopoulos. I am a teacher at a Primary School in Alimos – Athens, Greece. I live here with my wife and my daughter Marily. I like sports, traveling, and fairy tales. I am now writing a fairy tale about the life of Badfreaky the witch. It is a five-book series. Why do I write these books? Please read below: "I remember it was Christmas when something most unexpected happened in my dream. You will of course say that this happens often in dreams, but my dream exceeded all imagination. So, in my world of dreams, an uninvited witch visited me. Yes, you have correctly guessed. It was Badfreaky! And she said in a strict tone: "Constantine, I am going to give you a mission. As of today even, you are going to start writing my story. It is very important to me that you write about it exactly the way I tell it to you, so children and the entire world can find out what trials I have lived through. My life was an endless adventure and I think that people have a lot to learn from it. Listen carefully to what I have to say and hold on to it. If you don't write my story, or don't write it exactly the way I tell it to you, then beware, you poor thing! I will turn you into a blind, deaf, and crippled centipede! Just so that you suffer the rest of your life!" Naturally, I got very scared and the very next morning, I began writing her story with anxious excitement. Up to this moment, I must have done something right, because I am still human. If, however, on your way, you meet a centipede walking crookedly, not knowing which way it's going, I beg you; please don't hurt her because it might be me, transformed!" The next two books of the series will be ("The Iliad of Badfreaky" and "The Odyssey of Badfreaky").

Description


Dinosaurs! They excite us, and at the same time, they scare us! Once, they were unquestionably rulers of our planet. Until they disappeared, and another animal species prevailed and prevails to this day. Humans! With logic and ingenuity, we partially tamed nature and protected ourselves from its extreme elements. As social and rational beings, we created societies, evolved technologically, and developed civilization! It is an absolute necessity, however, for us to continue the triumphant course, to approach mother nature which brought us into this world and sustains us, with heartfelt respect and humbleness with a solid disposition to protect and preserve all living and inanimate beings which surround us and compose this masterpiece of the universe that we name planet Earth! Badfreaky is magically transported to a world where raw violence and the law of the fittest prevail, to a world where the agonizing and endless battle for survival is the sole purpose of every living being. Uninvited, she visits a world of terrible and horrific dinosaurs and is in life-threatening danger! Further on, she moves into a completely different world.
