Seven-year-old Alicia Parker, a fearless tomboy, is adventurous, mischievous, and daring. She learns from her grandmother, Lucy, that an evil spirit possesses the Chinese apple tree in her backyard.

Alicia, full of childish eagerness and self-confidence, decides to challenge the tree spirit dreaded by all, and a fierce battle ensues between the two...

Polly, the two-faced governess of Alicia, cuts her foot while she is crossing a river. She cries in anger and pain that it is a curse…

The Adventures of Alicia Parker take you to unexpected, humorous, and magical spaces. Adults and children emerge as the protagonists, laying bare their hidden aspirations and vulnerabilities.

ANITA BACHA, C.S.K., has spent over thirty-five years making children her passion and cause. Her personal experiences as a motherless child, along with interactions with friends, siblings, children, and grandchildren, combined with her expertise as a barrister, senior magistrate, and adoption expert, have reinforced her belief that children need understanding, respect, love, care, a safe family environment, and protection to grow up as healthy, normal human beings.

A signatory to the Hague Convention of 1993 on the Protection of Children in Intercountry Adoption, she now revels in writing storybooks for children and young readers, emphasising their power of imagination and creativity.
