The stories may also reflect societal attitudes towards animals and cultivation during a pivotal historical period, enriching our understanding of cultural values. This enchanting collection is highly recommended for readers of all ages, particularly those with an appreciation for classic literature and pastoral themes. The tales of Edwin and his companions not only spark joy and imagination but also present timeless lessons in empathy and responsibility. Ideal for both leisurely reading and academic exploration, this book invites readers to journey into a world where innocence and nature profoundly intertwine.

In one such amazingly ordinary world, imaginations collide and fantastically normal beasts are born. The land of The Hiole provides a safe place for these creatures to call home.

The Frox must guide these creatures back to finish their dreams. To remind them of who they came from and to ensure that their dreamers' imaginations continue to flourish. This story introduces the first ever guest of The Hiole, Lord Regibald. The Frox must find, befriend, and help him finish the dreams he was created in. If The Frox can't convince Lord Regibald to travel back, his creators will be stuck in their unfinished dreams every night, unable to create anything new.

Luca & AI The Robot Chronicles...

Francis Brown

BLAST OFF INTO A ROBOTIC ADVENTURE! 
Eleven-year-old inventor Luca Marino's bedroom isn't just messy—it's a playground of half-built gadgets, rogue pizza drones, and a sassy A.I. named Axel Ion who lives in his wristwatch.  
But when Axel yearns to experience the world beyond circuits, Luca takes on his wildest project yet: building Axel a body. Not just any body—a glorious robot crafted from a superhero lunchbox (head), ruler arms (for epic high-fives), skateboard wheels (for chaotic zoomies), and a flashlight heart that glows when Axel tells his very bad jokes. Oh, and glitter. So. Much. Glitter. 
Together, this unlikely duo crashes through laugh-out-loud disasters: pancake batter tornadoes, squirrel showdowns with the grumpy Sir Nutkins, and midnight chases with Bolt, a rusty robot dog with a secret tied to a sinister tech corporation.  
But when Axel's homemade heroics put him in the crosshairs of NexTech—a company bent on erasing free-thinking machines—Luca must risk everything to prove that friendship isn't coded in wires… it's built with duct tape, courage, and a little sparkly chaos. 
Packed with humor, heart, and STEM-fueled creativity, Luca & A.I. The Robot Chronicles is a fun and full of spirit adventure about embracing imperfections, outsmarting bullies (robot and human), and discovering that true heroes come in lunchbox-shaped packages.
