Sixteen-year-old Mark Chamberlain always dreamed of playing in a state championship basketball game.

    Professor Malcolm McDougal has lived in Coventry all his life. He’s a good Christian man, but sometimes he finds his faith being challenged. The professor is known for all kinds of inventions, his latest being a time travel machine. He’s determined to go back to the first Christmas and see for himself if it happened as the Bible tells us. He sets the timer on the machine, but before he can step inside and venture on his journey back in time, he’s distracted by carollers at the front door. While he is listening to the singing, his three dogs, always mischievous, are attracted to the time machine and find themselves trapped inside and going on a journey back in time. They are confused and the professor is saddened, afraid he’ll never see his beloved dogs again. 
    Laurence M. Haynes’s picture book story, The Christmas Time Travelers 1, is a sweet, endearing story that interweaves faith and fantasy, and science fiction all into a compelling tale of the first Christmas. The plot follows the professor’s interest in witnessing Jesus’s birth, to strengthen his faith, but the plot also follows the three dogs as they follow the shepherds into the stable in Bethlehem where the baby Jesus is cradled by his mother. Unknowingly, one of the dogs brings the professor the proof he needs to restore and strengthen his faith. But, do we really need proof to support our faith? Are we all a doubting Thomas? Faith is belief without proof, is it not? The author finishes the story with a quote from John when Jesus says, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” The illustrations are charming and help move the story along. A great way to share the Christmas story with young readers and help them understand the beauty of the Christian faith. Loved it!

    The next evolution in storytelling from New York Times bestselling, Newbery Medal Winning author Erin Entrada Kelly!Twelve-year-old Lila has two goals for the summer:1. Win back the friends who ditched her for being "too dramatic"2. Stop being so dramaticBut then Lila's estranged Grandpa Clem dies, throwing a wrench in her plans. Now she'll have to spend the summer in Ohio while her parents decide what to do with Grandpa Clem's creepy Victorian Inn. It's supremely unfair. How can she show off the "new and improved" Lila from so far away?Even worse, strange things keep happening. En route to Ohio, the family gets into a scary car accident. No one's hurt, but the remainder of the trip is... odd. At every rest stop, Lila sees people in weird old-fashioned clothes. People no one else can see or hear...Lila convinces herself it's just her overactive imagination until the day of the funeral when she spots an old man sitting in her grandfather's favorite chair. She does a double take -- it's him, Grandpa Clem. He tells Lila that he didn't die of a heart attack: he was murdered. Possibly by someone who wants to control the inn. Because it's not a normal bed & breakfast: it's a portal between the land of the living and the realm of the dead. A hotel for ghosts passing onto the afterlife.With the help of her skeptical brother, Caleb, and their new ghost-obsessed neighbor, Teddy, Lila -- the girl who's vowed to be less dramatic -- must uncover her grandfather's killer AND stop the evil spirits desperate to make their way back into the human world.

    YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
    PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
    Book 2 of 6 – The treasure in the sandbox 
    In 1690 Bristol, young pirate captain Edward Teach and his crew—Israel, Benjamin, Charles, and Anne—dig for Captain Thorne’s fabled treasure in the lighthouse sandbox. Despite Anne’s dramatic false alarms, they unearth a tiny chest containing brass buttons, a broken compass, ancient shortbread, and a cryptic note reading “Remember.” Old lighthouse keeper Pye reveals the chest was his grandson’s toy—but hints some items may be genuine artifacts. Though disappointed at first, Edward realizes the true treasure is the thrill of the hunt and proof of Thorne’s legend. The crew bonds over their discoveries, with Charles quietly noting the value of stories over gold. As twilight falls, they dream of future adventures, their spirits undampened by the modest haul. The tale blends humor and heart, showing how childhood imagination transforms ordinary finds into extraordinary treasures.  
    This is the second of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this second instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.  
    The story itself runs to about 13 minutes is is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
