Story
Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive organization that will stop at nothing to track her down. And most astonishing of all: she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth, she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. 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.

I grabbed this audiobook to give my kids a quick dose of history before bedtime, but honestly, I think I've become the biggest fan! These stories are the perfect length for my morning commute, turning traffic time into ‘me-time’ with a splash of ancient adventure. Each tale, from Aeneas’ epic journey to Hannibal’s audacious alpine expedition, is a rapid ride through history that’s just as thrilling as my first coffee of the day (or more!) So, not only are the kids getting a neat peek into the past, but I've also spiced up my drives with tales of glory and conquest. Who knew a history lesson could be this fun and functional?
