Awatea finds an old satchel with some coins, a notebook, some receipts and two envelopes
that make him think differently. With the help of old Mr Willoughby, Awatea pieces together

in secret and where he went

    In the process she is wounded and King Oberon swiftly comes to her aid despite their long term estrangement and they both realise they still love each other and the two tribes become as one again. 
    This is the second of six audiobooks in the series, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this second installment, 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 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, harp, violin, glockenspiel in a classical but uplifting form. The closing music ends the tale on a more restrained note and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments but more dreamy and ethereal effect. The actual story runs 13 minutes.  
    Here are the chapters and parts of the story: The Enchanted Grove of Lumina –

    Lambda Literary Award Winner for LGBTQ+ Middle Grade 
    From the acclaimed actor and Stonewall Honor–winning author of The Best at It, Maulik Pancholy, comes a new middle grade novel about a gay Indian American boy who learns the power of using his voice. For fans of Merci Suárez Changes Gears and Better Nate Than Ever. 
    Thirteen-year-old Nikhil Shah is the beloved voice actor for Raj Reddy on the hit animated series Raj Reddy in Outer Space. But when his mom temporarily moves them to the small town in Ohio where she grew up to take care of Nikhil’s sick grandfather, Nikhil feels as out of orbit as his character. 
    Nikhil’s fame lands him the lead in the school musical, but he’s terrified that everyone will realize he’s a fraud once they find out he has stage fright. And when a group of angry parents start to protest having an openly gay actor in the starring role, Nikhil feels like his life would be easier if only he could be Raj Reddy full-time. 
    Then Nikhil wakes up one morning and hears a crack in his voice, which means his job playing Raj will have to come to an end. Life on earth is way more complicated than life on television. And some mysteries—like new friendships or a sick grandparent or finding the courage to speak out—don’t wrap up neatly between commercial breaks.
