You'll also find out what you would need to do to prepare if you decided to climb the mountain, the supplies you would need and the training you'll need to do to alleviate the physical and mental stress on your body.

    Really Truly - A Pumpkin Falls...

    Truly Lovejoy is excited for the perfect summer in Pumpkin Falls, New Hampshire: swim practice outside, working at the bookstore, one-on-one time with her mom, and best of all, time with the dreamy RJ Calhoun who may just like Truly back. But the idyllic falls apart when she’s sent off to mermaid academy—sparkly tail and all. 
     
    Luckily, a mystery is never too far behind the Pumpkin Falls Private Eyes, and synchronized swimming turns into a hunt for a sunken ship and an investigation of the founding of Pumpkin Falls…which may have involved more pirates than originally thought. 
    And as the Pumpkin Falls Private Eyes get closer to the heart of the mystery and Truly gets closer to her mermaid debut, she may just learn to come out of her shell.

    THE ENCHANTED GROVE OF LUMINA 
    Book 5 of 6 The Shadowed Shard 
    Following on from Book 4– The Shattered Prism this story is summarized as follows: 
    Lyra and her companions face a new threat as the grove’s balance falters. A missing shard of the Prism, stolen by Malachar’s lingering influence, draws them to the treacherous Shadowed Vale, a realm of shifting light and darkness. There, they confront haunting visions and a shadowy guardian, testing their resolve. After reclaiming the shard, they battle Malachar, who seeks to unleash chaos. Though they temporarily banish him, his shadow lingers, and the Prism remains incomplete. As strange disturbances plague the grove, Lyra vows to protect it, knowing the battle for balance is far from over.  
    This is the fifth of six audiobooks in the series, the last will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this fifth instalment, and it's only $3, 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 11 1/2 minutes 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!
