  Twelve-year-old Zuzu Santos doesn’t want a robot. She and her best friends, otherwise known as “the Valleycats,” would rather explore Bright Valley on their own. But then Zuzu meets Snap, a know-it-all guardian robot with a limited battery life and an abundance of hope. A gripping, stand-alone, thematically rich survival story by two-time Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly, for fans of The Wild Robot and A Rover’s Story.  
  Bright Valley Subsidized Camp #5 is not a perfect place to live. It’s dusty, there are no trees to provide respite from the beating sun, the trailers are falling apart, and the water supply is heavily rationed. But to twelve-year-old Zuzu Santos and her three best friends, Bright Valley is home.  
  When Zuzu’s dad loses his job at Lockwood, the corporation that controls everything from rations to education, he isn’t given money or food or water as severance, but a dated, first-generation robot. They do not provide a working charging station. Zuzu names the robot Snap, and he soon becomes part of the Bright Valley family. But Snap’s battery is dwindling every day, and though Snap is prepared for his inevitable reset, Zuzu isn’t. She would do whatever it takes to keep Snap alive. The problem is, Snap would do the same for Zuzu and her friends, no matter the cost. 
  Erin Entrada Kelly tells a moving story of friendship and family, rich with themes and characters that will resonate with readers. The Second Life of Snap is a futuristic book for middle graders that is grounded, full of heart and humor, and unforgettable. An excellent choice for fans of The Wild Robot, A Rover’s Story, and Erin Entrada Kelly’s own We Dream of Space.

  THE ENCHANTED GROVE OF LUMINA 
  Book 1 of 6 – The Kingdom of Solara - Love Triumphs. 
  This completely new story I have written is a fairy kingdom called Solara where the Princess, Elara, of the King, Oberon, is expected to be married to a Prince, Theron in order to strengthen the alliance with the neighbouring kingdom of Noctis. She is in love with the court poet, Lysander (and he with her) and therefore is very unhappy at the prospect of a man she hardly knows. 
  Her friend Hermia has a similar problem and Oberon and the fairy Queen, Titania, are estranged from each other! 
  After all the trials and tribulations, and with the help of Pip, a tiny sprite fairy, who is mischievous but kind hearted, the two couples are married in the end. 
  This is just one of six audiobooks in the series, the others will be in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only $5, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, harp, violin, glockenspiel in a classical but uplifting form. The closing music ends the tale on a more restrained note and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments but more dreamy and ethereal effect.  
  The story itself runs to about 19 minutes 30 seconds and is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

  Dive into the most mysterious waters around the world (if you dare) in Spooky Lakes, a must-listen nonfiction book from TikTok star and educator Geo Rutherford 
   
   
   
  Some of Earth's strangest—and creepiest—wonders lie deep below the surface. There's Lake Natron, a Tanzanian lake so briny that its waters can mummify any creature that touches its surface; Lake Maracaibo, a Venezuelan tidal bay where a constantly brewing storm sends an average of twenty-eight lightning bolts per second into the water; and at the bottom of Lake Superior, the crew of the USS Kamloops—which mysteriously disappeared in 1921—remains somehow almost perfectly preserved to this day. 
   
   
   
  From Geo Rutherford—the creator of the hit series Spooky Lake Month (over sixty-five million likes!)—comes this thrilling nonfiction book that plumbs the depths of twenty-five unusual lakes around the world. Listeners will learn not only about the science of hydrology, but why understanding the natural world is crucial to protecting it from pollution and climate change. Backed by extensive research and packed with all-new content, Spooky Lakes takes listeners on an adventure through weird and wild waters.
