  Aunties tell nine-year-old Pavi that she’s asking too many “big women” questions, but she’s tired of grown-up secrets. How are babies born? And why do people die? A beautiful debut about family, tradition, and the healing that comes from finding the answers. 
    
  It’s 1975, Tamil Nadu, South India, and nine-year-old Pavi is living a carefree life with her large intergenerational family. Every day is an adventure. Why not steal 233 mangoes from the neighbor’s tree? Or make up grand stories that take her to Jupiter? If only there wasn’t a sadness lingering over the family. You see, her uncle Selva died just five months after she was born. 
    
  Pavi may have been just a baby when Selva died, but she feels close to him, as if he’s watching over her, helping her when she needs it. But she has so many questions about Selva’s death. And why does anyone die when they do? 
    
  The grown-ups in Pavi’s life are hiding something. They dismiss her questions. For instance, when Pavi and her cousins ask about babies, all anyone says is “Little women are asking big women questions.” And when she asks about Selva, there are no answers either. Why is talking about life and death so hard? Pavi is tired of grown-up secrets! 
    
  But what if those answers can hurt, or bad things happen? Can prayers and traditions really protect those we love? Pavi is determined to find out. 
    
  * "This beautifully crafted, culturally rich story celebrates diversity and will resonate with middle grade readers. Pavi's journey encourages empathy and curiosity, making this an excellent addition to classroom and library collections."—School Library Journal

  THE GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT 
  Book 5 of 6 The bloodstar rebellion 
  This is the fifth book in the series and the plot is as follows: 
  General Vex Draxus, disillusioned with the Galactic Federation, declares independence for the Zorathian Free State and unveils the Bloodstar—a warship created using forbidden black-hole forge technology. Unknown to Draxus, the Bloodstar's core contains a trapped cosmic entity, and the Kessari are secretly aiding his rebellion to further their own agenda. 
  As the Federation debates between negotiation and military action, the Elurians discover the entity's presence. When the Bloodstar activates, the entity awakens and begins transforming the ship, threatening millions of lives. 
  In a desperate gambit, Draxus—realizing he was manipulated—joins a Federation strike team to deploy a quantum resonance disruptor at the ship's core. Before being forced back into dormancy, the entity reveals that the precursor homeworld is actually a prison containing ancient beings who are beginning to stir. 
  The rebellion collapses, but a greater threat now looms on the horizon. 
  I do hope you enjoy this fifth instalment, and it's only $3. 
  the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a fast paced modern beat that gets you ready for the out of this world story. The closing music ends the tale on a dark foreboding beat anticipating the next instalment.  
  The story itself runs to about 14 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
