Astrosaurs - Riddle of the Raptors - audiobook

Astrosaurs - Riddle of the Raptors


Many people believe that the dinosaurs were big, stupid, lumbering reptiles who were wiped out millions of years ago when a massive meteor hit the Earth. They couldn’t be more wrong. Dinosaurs had small brains, but they used them well – and when they saw the big lump of space rock coming, they escaped in huge, dung-powered spaceships before it hit.

They went on evolving, and now both plant-eaters and meat-eaters have built massive empires way out in space in the Jurassic Quadrant. But the carnivores are never happy unless they’re causing trouble – that’s why the Dinosaur Space Service needs heroic herbivores to defend the Vegetarian Sector.

Step forward, Captain Teggs Stegosaur! Captain of the amazing spaceship DSS Sauropod, he goes on dangerous missions and fights evil - along with his faithful crew, Arx the Triceratops, Iggy the Iguanodon and Gipsy to Hadrosaur.

When a greedy gang of meat-eating raptors raid the Sauropod and kidnap two top athletes, Teggs and his crew race to the rescue. But there's more to the raptors' plot than meets the eye. Can Teggs solve their rascally riddle in time?

If you like crazy action, wild adventure, exciting fights, thrills and chills - and if you don't mind the whiff of dinosaur dung now and then - then this is for you!

Anne of Avonlea - audiobook

Anne of Avonlea

"With a brisk pace and pleasant, natural style, O'Malley's voice makes
a good match for Anne's sweet-natured temperament and higher energy.O'Malley
gives the many narrative passages, and Anne's parts, a lively quality, while setting
an overall tone of nostalgia to match the story."AudioFile
"An exceptional audio. Highly recommended."Reviewer's Bookwatch

At sixteen, Anne Shirley is grown up, almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars,
but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at
Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of
Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as
the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins.

Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when
she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables,
and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne
enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada. She attended Prince Wales College in Charlottestown and Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She returned to live with her grandmother in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, which became the basis for her "Anne" books. Anne of Green Gables (1908) brought her overnight success.
