from Stories Come to Life

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. Music lessons? Could Cress really want to take music lessons? All her life (so far) Cress has been decidedly AGAINST music lessons because they would be so dull as compared to hiking or swimming or doing anything outside. But that was before Cress met Mrs. Charlesbois. She is wonderful: elegant and artistic and best of all, interested in Cress. Adult friendships and situations, though, have a complexity Cress doesn’t know if she wants to understand. And then Edwin, brave Edwin! He always impresses Cress. Not only does he recite Virgil like a Roman, but he defends Cress’s honor when a bully tries to use his muscles against Edwin’s brains. 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! Let me know what you think! Please send an email to me at [email protected]. I'd love to hear from you!
