  Teensie has just been struck by lightning and is hearing a strange voice! Join him as he learns about his new-found power and imagines the things he can accomplish with it! 
  A message from Teensie: 
  Being in a tank has its advantages. Primarily, people forget that I’m there. I mean, let’s be realistic for a moment, even when they do remember I’m around, they don’t see me as a threat. 
  I’m just a harmless goldfish. 
  But that’s not my full story. See, I’m more than just a goldfish. I can talk - and the people I talk to can understand me. 
  I live with an amazing family, Melinda and her father, who are doing everything they can do to keep me safe and give me the life I dream about. 
  Melinda has her books, and I have mine. This is my side of the story. In Tales From the Tank you’ll hear about what actually goes on in the Longers' home, and out in the community! 
  Come with me, and let me take you underwater to experience the adventure my way! 
  From Porsche Ray: 
  This short story is Season 1: Episode 1 of Tales From the Tank - short stories that take place within the full-size novels. Season 1 matches up with Book 1 of the MELINDA series, “Melinda and Her Father Go Scuba Diving". 
  These stories contain bonus content NOT included in the novels, but the storyline does run parallel to what you will see in the larger books. 
  Like all books in the MELINDA series, the content is safe, fun, and absolutely age-appropriate.

  The Shoddy Lands - A Journey...

  The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis - When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student’s fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness. The Shoddy Lands is a sharp and unsettling exploration of how our inner worlds reveal far more than we intend. 
  Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was a British author, scholar, and Christian apologist whose work has had a lasting impact on literature, theology, and popular culture. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Lewis showed an early passion for storytelling and mythology. He studied at Oxford University and later became a fellow and tutor in English literature at Magdalen College. After serving in World War I, Lewis returned to academia and developed a keen interest in philosophy, literature, and faith. 
  Though raised in a Christian household, Lewis became an atheist in his youth, only to return to Christianity in his early thirties—a journey that profoundly shaped his writing. As a lay theologian, he wrote accessible and powerful works on Christian belief, including Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and The Screwtape Letters. These texts helped articulate Christian faith for a modern audience, blending reason, imagination, and moral clarity. 
  Lewis is perhaps best known for The Chronicles of Narnia, a seven-book fantasy series that has captivated readers for generations. He also explored science fiction in his Space Trilogy, beginning with Out of the Silent Planet. As a member of the literary circle known as The Inklings—which included close friend J.R.R. Tolkien—Lewis valued imagination as a means of expressing deep truths. 
  C. S. Lewis died in 1963, but his work continues to inspire readers of all ages across the world.

  Back at his evil tricks, Set, the devious god of chaos, has rid Egypt of the sun god, Ra, and plunged the kingdom into never-ending night. He’s even managed to trap the rest of the gods in a palace chamber without the use of their magic. Now demons run amok in the city, filling it with chaos and destruction. 
   
  But hope is not lost! Ash, Prince Khufu, Seret, Gilli, and two new friends, Thea and Iset, must brave the depths of the Duat—the spooky, cavernous Egyptian underworld—to rescue Lord Ra. Numerous demons fly about them in the darkness. Deadly peril awaits them around every craggy corner. They must solve riddles, trick, sneak, and battle to pass through each successive gate. If Team Shadow Prince can manage to get through all that, they will still have to face a demon like none they’ve seen before: the fierce, wily, enormous, god-eating serpent, Apep. 
   
  Can Ash and his friends reunite Ra’s magic with the sun and bring power and light back to the kingdom? Or will Egypt remain in darkness forever?
