    Within the library of lost stories in Narrhaven, where ink weavers dip quills in whispers of the forgotten and tale spinners revive narratives from erased pages, scribe Elowen oaths inked to spinner Kai, whose spun tales conceal a heart yearning for an unwritten ending. Their shadows, dipped in ink vows and page-kissed fables, write love—or fades the library in narrative voids. As they peruse quill-laced shelves and story-veiled alcoves, shadowed by ink wardens and tale rivals, Elowen's weaving script merges with Kai's spinning lore, revealing a quillbound legend of shadowed prose. When a blotted page summons ghost authors, they must ink the oath to restore the tales. In the shadows of quillbound scribes, where every whisper scripts destiny and every tale binds the soul, their inked bond becomes the story that revives the lost.

    This is a children's book regarding bullying and judging others before getting to know them. The book uses black and gray squirrels to help illustrate how these lessons may be learned. 
    Patricia A. Thorpe was a resident of Wisconsin for most of her life until she retired from Certegy as a credit card manager in 2003. In 2006, she moved to Mesa, Arizona where she resides today. She returns to Wisconsin where she spends time with her four sons and five grandchildren during the summer months. 
    Patricia recalls buying many children's books when her sons were young children. She felt reading to her children was paramount and bought many children's books to read to them as learning methods. When her sons were going to start school, she found a book that she felt could assist them in learning what they may experience and feel on their first few days of school. Patricia found a book to help her sons learn their ABCs, simple math calculations, the importance of following the Golden Rule, and most importantly lessons from Aesop's Fables. 
    During the seven years Patricia lived on Lake Kristine in northern Wisconsin, she found herself looking out of the large window from her dining room. From there she observed many different kinds of birds and animals interacting with one another. 
    The memories of buying children's books for her sons led her to decide to create a children's book with a storyline about a hummingbird she lovingly called "Harry." She hopes to create other children's books in the future for young children to enjoy and assist them in learning important life lessons.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Everything you learned in history class was wrong. 
    Think George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and couldn't tell a lie? Nope. 
    Believe Ben Franklin discovered electricity with a kite? Think again. 
    Sure that Washington was America's first president? Not exactly. 
    Welcome to the most entertaining history lesson you'll ever get. Busted! takes a wrecking ball to America's most cherished historical myths, revealing the fascinating truth behind the stories we've been telling ourselves for centuries. 
    Author Donovan Douglas serves up the real stories with wit, irreverence, and just enough snark to keep you turning pages. From the Founding Fathers' fictional heroics to sanitized tales of American exceptionalism, this book exposes how textbook writers turned messy, complicated history into feel-good fairy tales. 
    You'll discover: 
    Why Parson Weems invented the cherry tree story (spoiler: he was trying to sell books) 
    How Ben Franklin nearly got himself killed chasing lightning 
    Which eight presidents served before Washington (and why nobody talks about them) 
    The real stories behind America's most persistent historical lies 
    This isn't about hating America or tearing down heroes—it's about celebrating the complex, flawed, and genuinely fascinating people who built this country. Because the truth is always more interesting than the myth. 
    Perfect for history buffs, skeptics, and anyone who suspects their high school textbook might have been full of it. 
    "Finally, someone brave enough to tell us what really happened—and make it fun to read."
