The Mystery of Long Pine Key

William Hudson

Sinopsis

Tommy has a hard time making friends. All of his schoolmates think he’s a weirdo. And his best friend in the whole world just moved away at the beginning of the school year. And to make matters worse, it’s Spring Break in Homestead, Florida. Instead of going on a family camping trip to the mountains of North Carolina, twelve-year-old Tommy Higgins will have to spend the week at work with his Marine Biologist Mom and Park Ranger Dad in Everglades National Park.

As much as Tommy loves the park, he is not looking forward to a week of chores at the Long Pine Key campground. However, Tommy has a change of heart when he meets some new friends who are staying at the campground. But when things start to look up, items go missing around the campground, and Tommy and his friends soon find themselves on the trail of the thief, the target of a group of campground bullies known as The Rough Bunch.

Young Blackbeard the Pirate -...

Christopher Allen

YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE
PORT OF BRISTOL 1690
Book 4 of 6 – The mutiny of the missing shortbread
Here is the summary description of this book:
When Anne Bonny's prized shortbread vanishes from The Salty Pickle, young Edward Teach (future Blackbeard) declares it an act of mutiny. The crew searches their Bristol docked ship for crumbs, suspecting rival pirates—until Israel spots seagulls feasting in nearby bushes. The audacious birds, led by a scream-mimicking alpha gull, had staged an elaborate heist: one distracted Anne with her own signature shriek while others carried off the treats. A chaotic harbor chase ensues, with Benjamin's slingshot recovering scraps of the stolen shortbread. Though outsmarted, Edward admires the gulls' piratical cunning and proposes an alliance—Anne will bake extra batches in exchange for avian lookouts. The tale blends humor with authentic 1690s Bristol harbor life, showing Edward's early leadership and flair for turning foes into assets—a skill that would later define history's most notorious pirate.
This is the fourth of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this instalment, and it's only $3.
the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.
The story itself runs to about 16 minutes is 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!
