PULLING THE PLUG

Hubert is a hologram in a video game being shot toward the moon. He misses the mark and finds himself in heaven instead. The Grand Master of the Transition works with newly arrived angels, assigning them tasks to achieve before earning their wings. Hubert depends on his computer. He finds himself a failure painting rainbows because he enhances the colors. The Grand Master patiently assigns Hubert a new task, that of choir director, but computer generated music from earth does not cut it in heaven. Hubert is given another job, the very important one of shining up the stars and preparing the Star of Bethlehem for Christmas. This results in the greatest failure of all. Will Hubert ever find his unique talent? Can he learn to fit in with the human inhabitants of heaven?

This book is a quick read. There are a few illustrations to assist younger children in following the tale and its lessons, but the story is more suited to middle grade readers. It serves as a reminder that each person possesses unique talents, if he is willing to work hard to develop them. The author reminds readers of what can be accomplished without computers; sometimes pulling the plug is not a bad idea.

Hubert is a Star!

In this short book, Hubert is a hologram. At first, I thought that idea might be difficult for a child to comprehend, but children in our modern times never cease to amaze me. Barbara Romanâs title character, Hubert shows up in Heaven after a collision in a video game. Hubert is wearing an orange jumpsuit and has a computerized device in his hands. With Zen-like patience, the Grand Transition Master decides that even though Hubert is not meant to be there, he can be trained to find his purpose. There is however, one caveat: He has to figure out how to complete each of the challenging, but wonderful chores himself, without relying on his high tech gadget. He also has to follow tradition and cannot have help from others. This faithful but non-preachy story will remind all of usâyoung or old--to log off/disconnect sometimes in order to find our truest selves. The illustrations are divine, recalling storybook illustrations in my favorite childhood books. Will Hubert get his wings? Read Hubert in Heaven to find out. Even better, read it to someone young and sweet who will surely explain why computers are necessary when facing large assignments.

A shining light

This is a sophisticated hi-tech tale for older children. Hubert is a hologram in a video game who was supposed to land on the moon and instead finds himself in Heaven. When he is asked to do a series of tasks, including paint the fading rainbows, Hubert turns to his computer for help. He isnât used to thinking for himself. When his computer breaks he is advised to âbe stillâ and God would show him what to do. Slowly, Hubertâs little light began to shine. This is a feel-good story with a Christmas message that rings true all through the year.
