Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. During this time of Covid, many people aren’t able to use the library in the same way as in the past. To help bring more stories to more readers, many publishing companies are allowing books that are normally unavailable for copyright reasons to be read out loud and shared with others until December 31, 2023. The stories that fall under that special permission will all be taken down on that date, so listen now, while they’re available! Today’s story is shared with permission of HarperCollins Children’s Books.
With the deadline very quickly approaching for Aunt Lily to pay the back taxes or lose their beloved house, Eleanor and Edward decide to sleep one last night in the tower room. The dream they have is the most dangerous yet, and Eddy has a terrible accident! Aunt Lily forbids the children to sleep upstairs anymore. But there are only two more stanzas of the mystery poem to solve, and the children can’t resist trying just one more time to find the jewels that will help their family.
Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.
Listening to audiobooks really does count as reading, and there's no better way to relax than to hear Stories Come to Life!
