Description:
Danielle McCormack, Year 10 student at Middlewood High School, wants to be a journalist. However, she could not possibly have anticipated, when Dean Lawrence Polking (head of HRL Enterprises, internationally-renowned Retailing Magnate and hated Destroyer of the Middlewood Old Town Mall) attended the Annual Awards night at her school as the Honored Guest Speaker and returning ‘Favorite Son”, that her life would be thrown into turmoil and everything she thought she knew about the man and his dream would have to be re-evaluated. All she had wanted to do was write a Profile for her school magazine, and, with the encouragement of her Journalism Club patron, Mrs Lami Adams, she had created an opportunity to meet with, and possibly interview, the Man of the Moment. How could she have known that his soon-to-be-opened “Garden Plaza” Shopping Centre, housed in the largest Geodesic Dome enclosure in the world, would come to dominate her life and the lives of those she loved? How could she have known that everything she thought she knew about herself and her place in the world would come to mean nothing against truths and realities she could never have anticipated?
Publisher's opinion:
"Babic's The Profile is an excellent read that presents very real issues relevant to today's youth. Written in a style that is both direct and moving, the author whisks the reader through a tale of mystery, awe, and fulfillment. In the spirit of Rand's The Fountainhead, The Profile is rife with intrigue and mesmerizing imagery. This is a piece worth reading and reading again." - Brian L. Doe, Author, The Grace Note, Barley & Gold; Co-Author Waking God Trilogy
