Desmond E. Berghofer Invites Readers to Step into Their Imagination and Journey to a World of Awe and Wonder

The aim of Pearson Media Group is to partner with authors whose books appeal to a global audience and are primed for adaptation as a movie or TV series. The company is pleased to announce its partnership with Desmond Berghofer, whose children’s book, “The Wonderful World of Om,” is destined to become to the 21^st century what “The Wizard of Oz” was for the 20^th.

Once or twice in a century, a writer appears who creates a child hero or heroine and takes them into a magical fantasy land for adventure and some meaningful purpose. L. Frank Baum took a Kansas country girl, Dorothy, to the Land Oz where she sets out on the yellow brick road to meet the Wizard in Emerald City. J. M Barrie brought a magical eternal boy, Peter Pan, to take Wendy and her siblings to Neverland, and what strange adventures they had. Most famous of all, Lewis Carroll, had young Alice follow the White Rabbit into Wonderland, replete with strange and unforgettable characters.

Now comes Desmond Berghofer, who transports his young boy hero, Sam, not to a magical fantasy land of witches, wizards and weird characters, but, in keeping with the interests of 21^st century children schooled in science, to a futuristic world in a parallel universe, where he is welcomed as a hero who saves the world in a time of dire peril and learns what he needs to know to help him right a great wrong in his own world.

This is “the wonderful world of Om” full of delights for young children such as the Food Factorium where nutritious and tasty food is prepared and served without the need to slaughter animals, where driverless vehicles take you wherever you want to go on uncrowded crystal highways, where holographic television allows you to participate in the action, and where people live good and wholesome lives helping each other without fear of unintended consequences from bad choices made in the past.

The story of Om is not just for children. It speaks to the hearts and minds of people of all ages, parents and grandparents, people in every country on Earth, everyone struggling to live meaningful lives in our current conflicted and troubled world. It catches the imagination with fresh insights conveyed through a simple and engaging children’s story, reminding us of the best that we can be and what can be achieved through perseverance and goodness.

Pearson Media Group is proud to be associated with this new, entertaining and uplifting story for our time to bring it to moviegoers everywhere. Available now in its original book form, you will not want to miss it.

About the Author:
Desmond E Berghofer is the author of four novels as well as a memoir of his early childhood growing up on a farm in Queensland, Australia. Desmond lives in Vancouver, Canada with his wife, Gerri. Together, they have 12 grandchildren. “The Wonderful World of Om” is Desmond’s first book directed at a juvenile readership in which he elaborates similar themes of high order values as in his other books for an adult audience. By anchoring the story in a real-life situation of injustice and using a magical leap to another reality, he seeks to capture the imagination of his young readers while inspiring them to hold fast to the ideals of justice, truth and honesty. He never speaks down to his readers, but asks them to come along with him to that place in literature where heart and mind fuse in the wonder of adventure, love and achievement.
