  The Maccabee home was a happy one, but Mrs. Maccabee’s five sons were often losing things. “Mom, have you seen my spear?” one would say. “Your things don’t grow legs and walk away,” Mrs. Maccabee would sigh, pointing to the missing items. “Where you leave them is where they stay.” When her five sons go to war against the Greeks, Mrs. Maccabee’s lessons stay with them. Recalling their mom’s words, the brothers remember where they’d last seen the oil for the Temple menorah. A miracle indeed.

  Fiasol - Doing fine

  Fíasól is a seven-year-old crab living in Green Grove in Grasby. Well, she is not actually a crab. She is a girl born in the Cancer star sign, and in her opinion that stinks. So she’s decided to adopt a brand new star sign for herself, it’s called the Flowery Butterfly and is a sign made specially for people who don’t want to be Cancerians. 
  She lives in Green Grove with her mum and dad, her big sisters Pippa and Bidda, and a couple of poodles, Hansína and Jensína. 
  Fíasól’s best friend is called Ingo. He is nine years old and lives in the house diagonally opposite hers. Harold, Herbert and Heba live in the house directly opposite. They are also specially good friends of Fíasól’s. 
  “I’ll never have to leave Green Grove,” Fíasól sometimes says. “I’ve got all my friends here, my stuff, my bed, and the food of course.” 
  “You’ll need to go to school,” her ten-year-old sister Pippa retorts. 
  “Yeah, but then I’ll come straight back home because everything I need is here,” Fíasól replies. 
  “What if you need to see the doctor?” Pippa asks. 
  “Then I’ll just make a call and get the doctor to come and see me here,” Fíasól says. 
  “But what if…” Pippa continues, and so it goes on, the sisters bickering day in and day out. 
  “Oh, I have such an amazingly big imagination,” Fíasól sometime says, sounding pleased with herself. She is right of course. 
  “You are queen of your very own enormous imagination,” Fíasól’s mum says to her. “But you’ll have to be careful not to let your ideas fly so high that you lose track of them and they come to a sticky end.” 
  If you live in a big world of imagination you’re either doing just fine, or you’re in trouble. The thing is, it’s often so difficult to recognise whether an idea is good or bad. Good ideas can get you into trouble and bad ideas can look as if they’re rather good, to start with.

  From #1 New York Times bestselling author Aaron Reynolds comes the third hilariously macabre mystery in The Incredibly Dead Pets of Rex Dexter series. 
    
  My name is Rex Dexter.  
    
  Yes. THAT Rex Dexter. The one cursed with the ability to see and talk to dead animals. The solver of atrocities against the four-footed. The savior of the flipper-finned. Save your standing ovation for later, because I have bigger things on my mind. 
    
  Rabbits. Specifically, dead rabbits.  
    
  And not just anybunny. This particular gaggle of rabbits once belonged to the Astounding Isabel, Middling Falls’ foremost birthday party magician. One thing has quickly become clear … somebunny hates magic. Whoever it is, they’re attempting to put the Astounding Isabel out of the birthday biz for good. And they’re willing to whack a whole lotta bunnies to do it. 
    
  It’s a cold cruel world out there. But don’t worry. I’m on the case. And so is Darvish. And Drumstick. And possibly several dozen rabbits. The point is, nobunny pulls one over on Rex Dexter … and his best friend … and his dead chicken. 
    
  Nobunny.

  Before Neverland, there was Kensington Gardens—the place where Peter Pan first learned to fly. 
  In Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, J. M. Barrie introduces listeners to the origins of his most beloved creation. Here, Peter is not yet the boy who never grows up, but a baby who escapes from his home to live among the birds and fairies in the magical heart of London’s famed park. Beneath the whispering trees and beside the silver lake, he encounters wonder, mischief, and the bittersweet magic of eternal childhood. 
  Narrated with warmth and charm by Melissa-Marie Shriner, this timeless tale blends whimsy and melancholy in equal measure, offering a glimpse into the dreamlike world that would later become Peter Pan. 
  A perfect listen for children, families, and all who believe in fairies—or wish they still did.
