  • Nellybug: Mystery of the Shadow Frost

    Nathan A Stout, Blue Barn Books

    Audible Audiobook (Blue Barn Books, Oct. 3, 2019)
    Nellybug may be the first tooth fairy but it doesn't mean she's got the job all figured out. Everyone is calling on her, requesting protection from the Nightmares or more supplies, always more supplies. She's good at it but, I mean, she's just one fairy. One of these days, she'll get it all figured out and get ahead of schedule. Not any time soon though as a mysterious, poisonous threat labeled as shadow frost moves into Neverland and kills anything it touches. She must gather support and lead a team of friends and warriors to search for the source, running into pirates, spiders, bats, and even a shoe-collecting ogre along the way. If the team can come together and figure out how to defeat the creatures of darkness, they just might have a chance of saving Neverland...unless a mad gardener has his way.
