BookEnds is a fable about Alpha grandchildren and Omega grandparents, and how they work together to create a harmonious community. Valkira is a precocious 10-year-old, struggling to survive at Jane Addams Junior High. She is rescued by her eccentric grandmother, who enables her to become a SuperHero and make her school a safe learning place. When the outside world threatens Valkira, Grandmère Minerva turns to her unconventional and colorful peers * the International Order of Grandmothers, who meet at a recycled amusement park. To protect their grandchildren, the grandmothers persuade the grandfathers to help them fix the world. Alpha & Omega generations join forces to preserve the Earth and joyously celebrate the Circle of Life.
