  Hooray, it’s August! Spid boards the train to Spidlins holiday camp at Spidwell-by-the-Sea for a summer holiday he’ll never forget. Which is exactly what he gets – but not for the reasons he might think … as ever he faces lots of setbacks but wins through in the end.This audiobook features two songs:  'Surfin' Spidwell Bay' and 'Holiday'.  Surfin’ Spidwell Bay pays homage to holidays at Spidwell Bay. It combines The Beach Boys’ surf vibe with Bill Haley’s ‘Shake, rattle and roll’.  In Holiday, Spid sings about his holiday experiences. You can only hope they are not yours! You can also watch music videos of Spid's songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider/.Spid is a lowly spider, who writes songs, wants to better himself,  and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to listen to with, their children.  The humour also works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy listening to the stories multiple times. The books are accompanied by lots of free parent and teacher materials to help children read, write, grow and succeed in life. Find them at https://spidthespider.com/fun-childrens-activities/.

  Spacemen Die At Home - Exile...

  Spacemen Die At Home by Edward W. Ludwig - One man's retreat is another's prison ... and it takes a heap of flying to make a hulk a home! 
  Forty days of heaven and forty nights of hell. That's the way it's been, Laura. But how can I make you understand? How can I tell you what it's like to be young and a man and to dream of reaching the stars? And yet, at the same time, to be filled with a terrible, gnawing fear—a fear locked in my mind during the day and bursting out like an evil jack-in-the-box at night. I must tell you, Laura. 
  Perhaps if I start at the beginning, the very beginning.... 
  It was the Big Day. All the examinations, the physicals and psychos, were over. The Academy, with its great halls and classrooms and laboratories, lay hollow and silent, an exhausted thing at sleep after spawning its first-born. 
  For it was June in this year of 1995, and we were the graduating class of the U. S. Academy of Interplanetary Flight. 
  The first graduating class, Laura. That's why it was so important, because we were the first. 
  We sat on a little platform, twenty-five of us. Below us was a beach of faces, most of them strange, shining like pebbles in the warm New Mexican sunlight. They were the faces of mothers and fathers and grandparents and kid brothers and sisters—the people who a short time ago had been only scrawled names on letters from home or words spoken wistfully at Christmas. They were the memory-people who, to me, had never really existed. 
  But today they had become real, and they were here and looking at us with pride in their eyes. 
  A voice was speaking, deep, sure, resonant. "... these boys have worked hard for six years, and now they're going to do a lot of big things. They're going to bring us the metals and minerals that we desperately need."

  JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES 
  Book 3 of 6 The Nebula's Trial 
  This story is summarized as follows: 
  In The Nebula's Trial, Captain Minerva Voss leads her crew into the Horsehead Nebula, following clues from the centaur Chiron to uncover an ancient secret. They discover a cosmic junction linking Jupiter to the nebula, where the Abyssal—Europa's deep-sea civilization—reveal the truth: Jupiter's storms contain Arion, a centaur-like energy being guarding Nyx, a sentient black hole imprisoned in Jupiter's core. When the Syndicate attacks with a quantum harpoon to enslave Arion, Minerva psychically bonds with the guardian, witnessing its memories—including Earth's role in Nyx's imprisonment. Arion sacrifices itself to destroy the harpoon, transferring its knowledge to Minerva before dying. The Syndicate's cryptic message, "Project Ixion is ready," hints at their plan to free Nyx. As Jupiter's storms intensify, Minerva realizes the true scale of the threat—and her destiny as a guardian of cosmic balance. 
  This is the third of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this third instalment, and it's only $3. 
  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 1/2 minutes and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added. 
  The story runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice. 
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, more to come!
