Perfect for families, young listeners, lovers of folklore, and anyone who appreciates the timeless voice of Kipling. A charming tale of wit, wonder, and the playful logic of make-believe.Mostra libro

When Nora unexpectedly comes to his rescue—and Milo accidentally admits he might have feelings for her—the tension between them shifts from hostile to something far more dangerous. What starts as a resort crush might just turn into the adventure neither of them saw coming.Mostra libro
