Summary

Ember is a young dragon who doesn’t quite fit the traditional mold. While others expect her to roar, fly, and stomp, Ember prefers to dance in glittery sandals, expressing herself through graceful, joyful movements. But at first, Ember is laughed at by the other dragons, who don’t understand her passion. Undeterred, Ember embarks on a journey to embrace her individuality, learning valuable lessons from wise mentors and making new friends along the way. As she practices and perfects her dance, Ember teaches everyone around her the true power of being yourself. This heartwarming story of courage, diversity, and self-expression reminds young readers that being different is something to celebrate, not hide. Through Ember's sparkling sandals and the dance that comes from within, she shows us all that the world is better when we embrace our unique rhythms.

    ONE YEAR AGO, A SOLAR FLARE SCORCHED THE EARTH AND DESTROYED LIFE AS WE KNOW IT. 
     
    With their parents gone and their supplies running low, grieving stepsiblings Millie and Rose leave home with their infant half-brother in search of Millie’s grandma, a Seminole elder—who Millie knows in her gut is still alive, even if Rose isn’t so sure. Along the way, they meet a group of other surviving kids calling themselves the Lost Boys and their lone adult leader, who reluctantly agree to help them brave the hostile wasteland to make it to Millie’s grandma safely. But the landscape isn’t the only threat—there’s also the Hive, a villainous group that has spent the last year hoarding supplies and living in luxury … and will do anything to keep it that way.  
     
    Expertly balancing heartbreak and hope, The Flicker is both a thrilling survival story and a tender exploration of Indigenous ideas of identity and found family. 
     
    “Bound up in a gripping page-turner, the soul of The Flicker is fierce, relentless love for chosen family, the natural world, and a humanity exploited almost to the point of extinction. With unblinking honesty, this story invites readers to hope, and hope tenaciously for a better way of living.”—ALDER VAN OTTERLOO, author of Cattywampus and The Beautiful Something Else

    The Elephant Circuit AKA The Man...

    John Watts has spent his life moving, traveling, and finding comfort in motion. When a journey to a massive national exposition places him among strangers, memories surface—of a marriage built on shared roads, shared jokes, and a shared love of America itself. What begins as an ordinary trip slowly becomes something far stranger, as familiar sights blur into something dreamlike and impossibly connected. 
    As Watts wanders the fairgrounds, encounters take on a heightened meaning. People seem to know him. Kindness appears without explanation. Loss softens, replaced by a sense of belonging he thought was gone forever. The celebration grows larger, richer, and more surreal, building toward a moment that challenges what Watts believes about love, memory, and where a life truly ends. 
    Robert A. Heinlein was one of the defining voices of twentieth-century science fiction, shaping the genre with stories that combined speculative ideas with deeply human concerns. While he is often associated with hard science fiction and future societies, Heinlein also wrote intimate, emotional stories that explored identity, duty, and personal freedom. 
    The Elephant Circuit reveals a gentler side of Heinlein’s work. Rather than focusing on technology or conflict, it reflects on companionship, grief, and the quiet joy of shared experience. It stands as a reminder that science fiction can be not only about imagined futures, but also about honoring the lives we have lived.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    High above the world, in the "Hall of Young Angels", guardians train to protect children with grace, precision, and perfect control. Luna has none of those things. He crashes into clouds. He fails landing practice. And during a rescue drill, he once saved the instructor instead of the falling object. 
    So when the final assignments are announced, Luna fully expects to be left behind. Instead, something impossible happens. He is given a child. Kevin is eight years old, endlessly curious, always climbing something he probably shouldn’t, and remarkably talented at turning ordinary moments into unexpected chaos. Which means Luna’s very first assignment might also be his final chance to prove he belongs among the guardians. 
    Unfortunately, protecting a human child is far more complicated than the training manuals suggested. Desks slide across classrooms. Windows break. Other angels begin whispering a new nickname for Luna: "Cloud-crasher."Yet when a real crisis strikes and everything begins to unravel, Luna discovers something the Hall of Young Angels never taught him. Guardians are not the ones who fix everything. 
     Sometimes the most important thing an angel can do… is simply...stay. 
    Warm, funny, and full of heart, "Luna: First Assignment" begins a charming fantasy series about mistakes, courage, and the quiet heroes who refuse to leave "when the world starts falling apart". 
    Perfect for bedtime listening, this gentle fantasy adventure reminds young listeners that even imperfect heroes can make a difference simply by staying.
