  Escape From Pluto by William Oberfield - Exiled to Pluto's harsh wastes, Marcius Kemble listened eagerly to the evil voices planning his triumphant return. But even the Plutonians underestimated the flaming glory to which they sent him. 
  Marcius Kemble stood upon the frozen surface of Pluto and swore aloud. He knew there were none to hear him but, just the same, he shouted into his plastic space helmet until his ears were ringing, cursing all the planets and their diverse inhabitants in order, most of all Earth. 
  You see, Marcius Kemble was an example. He was an example to any others, in the year of twenty-two hundred A.D., who would strive to rule the solar system. The planets were independent states and they were to remain that way. For trying to change this, Kemble had been exiled to unexplored Pluto. 
  Marcius raised his mailed fist toward the mighty stars and ground out curses against Earth and all those upon it, wishing that he could call upon it the wrath of Heaven and Hell, for it had been the men of Earth who had brought about his ultimate downfall. 
  It had been the age-old story of a power-mad tyrant finding out the secret grudges of his subjects and working on them to inspire a frenzy of hate, to maneuver them into a war against unsuspecting neighboring nations. He had gained control of the whole of Mars in this way and had been reaching out for the moon-system of Saturn, when the full force of the Planetary Combine had come against him, scattering his forces. 
  The counter offensive had been led by Earth, and it had been an Earth ship which, after his short-lived escape, had parachuted him to the cold surface of Pluto. Is it any wonder that he should hate them? 
  Marcius Kemble looked fearfully around at the bleak, frozen landscape of Pluto, a cold Hell, hardly reached by the light of the sun. Then he began to laugh.

  Young victor frankenstein and his creations   
  Book 3 of 6 – tick tock saves the day-the mountain expedition 
   summary of this thirD book in the series is as follows:: 
  Victor Frankenstein and his creations—especially Tick Tock, his clockwork dog—embark on a mountain expedition to find rare crystals for Melody Maker, Victor’s musical automaton. Along the way, they rescue a family of mountain goats trapped in a collapsing cave, using teamwork and Tick Tock’s clever digging to free them. In gratitude, the mother goat leads them to a hidden valley filled with singing crystals. As a sudden snowstorm strikes during their descent, Tick Tock’s compass nose and steady guidance save the group from disaster. Back at the castle, Victor crafts Melody Maker’s enchanting music from the crystals and rewards Tick Tock with a musical collar. The adventure cements Tick Tock’s role as the team’s steadfast protector and proves that even mechanical beings can possess true courage and heart.  
  The initial opening credit is operatic in style with both male and female vocals paying homage to the late 18th century when victor lived and runs to approximately 3 minutes. The closing music has both an element of classic and current music to add a bit of excitement to the end for the listening children. 
  The story and music itself runs to just over 40 MINUTES and is narrated in the voice of claire francis, my wife. 
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come

  Hector is a very curious young owl. He wants to know everything about his nest, his tree, and the forest around him. Mother and Father Owl answer his questions the best that they can, but not every question is easy to answer. "Why are we different from the other birds?" he asks Mother Owl. When Father Owl asks if he is ready to find a mate, Hector replies he decidedly is not! There is simply too much to learn! There are questions to ask, adventures to be had, and humans to observe. And all the while, Hector must learn the most important lesson of all: what is his place in this forest he calls home?
