Hi! My name is Lucas Anderson, and moving to Pinewood was a big change for me—not the good kind either. Everything seemed to be going wrong…until I discovered baseball. The game brought new challenges, but I wasn’t alone. Dad, a former Navy SEAL, taught me to be brave and keep trying no matter what. And Mom (a genius) was always there, teaching me tricks to level up.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Epic Stories for Kids of All Ages
Children and adults alike will enjoy these stories from ancient Rome. Full of heroes such as Aenas and the legendary "R" twins whose names I'm not sure how to spell. My personal favorite story was the Burning Ships and the Golden Bough, but they're all memorable. Plus, your purchase of this audiobook includes a bonus PDF of the entire book, which adds so much value and allows you to read your favorite stories aloud to your kids yourself if you want. This audiobook really helped the time pass faster on our road trip.
