Helen James

Far across the universe are the 'Visitants'. They are a being who patrol the universe searching out Galaxies, Star Systems or Planets who are on the verge of destruction. The 'Visitants' are a collection of beings made up of a blue haze, they were not able to put things right but, over time they had recruited 5 'Goods'. The 'Goods' are beings from across the universe. Each one has a special goodness and special skills. When a problem is discovered the 'Visitants' will send one of their number across the universe to collect the appropriate 'Good' and once the task has been completed they are returned home again. Unlike the 'Visitants' who live for ever, the 'Goods' live only for as long as is the norm for their home planet and that is what happened to Tyred, their most experienced 'Good'. After 200 years he passed away and as a result the 'Visitants' needed to find a replacement. A search of the whole universe was carried out and three names were brought forward. Josp from the Whirlwind Galaxy, Veist from the Malin Galaxy and the youngest of them all, 8 year old Helen James from planet Earth, in the Milky Way Galaxy. Helen had no idea that the future of her life was being decided far across the universe. It was only as she was sitting on the naughty step that she discovered her life was changing. Hyming, the 'Visitant' assigned to transport Helen, wrapped himself around her and before she knew what was happening he had taken her out of her house, up into the sky and streaking across the Milky Way. In seconds the Milky Way was far behind them. Helens biggest concern was that all hell would happen if her mother discovered she was not sat on the naughty step. Hyming reassured her that he would have her back on the step before that happened. True to his word, once Helen had sorted out her bullies in the Yunkery Star System, Hyming had her back on the step before anyone knew she had left.
