In The Call to Shakabaz, the recently orphaned Goodacre children, Doshmisi, Denzel, Maia, and Sonjay, travel with their pesky parrot, Bayard Rustin, to the distant magical land of Faracadar on a quest to retrieve the powerful Staff of Shakabaz from the evil enchanter Sissrath. When the young protagonists discover that violence is foredoomed to fail against Sissrath, they muse their wits and imagination to defeat him. In the process, they learn truths about themselves and they develop their personal talents and abilities. A terrific family-friendly audiobook demonstrates the fundamental principles of nonviolence as a practiced by Dr. King and Gandhi.
