The Floating Piano Mystery

8th November: What Shall We Do Today?

By: P.D. Cain

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When memories start disappearing across the neighborhood, three young friends must venture inside a magical piano to solve the mystery—and discover that every type of celebration matters.
Tommy wakes up on the front steps with no memory of who he is. Imani recognizes her best friend, but he doesn't remember her at all. And Maya arrives with alarming news: people all over the neighborhood are forgetting things that matter most—comfort, courage, creativity, and joy.
The culprit? A mysterious thief who's stolen eight magical Harmony Keys from the Festival Piano—an enormous instrument that houses eight different November celebrations. Without these keys, not only are memories disappearing, but people are forgetting why learning, teaching, music, humor, and trying new things matter at all.
Join Imani, Tommy, and Maya on an unforgettable adventure through:

• The Cappuccino Chamber, where patience and comfort have been forgotten
• The Bold Flavor Furnace, where courage to try new things has vanished
• The STEAM Station, where connections between art and science have broken
• The Radiology Realm, where understanding and insight have disappeared
• The Teachers' Garden, where the joy of learning and growth has wilted
• The Piano Pavilion, where music has lost its emotional expression
• The Tongue Twister Tower, where clear communication has become confused
• The Wordplay Workshop, where a desperate guardian struggles with feeling undervalued
