By: Gianluca Toppi

Narrated by: Lynn Sanborn Campbell

The moon is missing. The jokes are fading. And bedtime will never be the same…
Join Luca the Finder and his sarcastic talking backpack, Mario, on a giggle-powered quest through trampoline parks, jellybean kingdoms, and pesto-scented forests. With spoon-compasses, invisible goats, and bubble pirates at every turn, this surreal adventure is packed with cliffhangers, bedtime riddles, and laugh-out-loud moments for kids and grown-ups alike.
Perfect for families who love silly stories, interactive listening, and bedtime tales that sparkle with imagination.
Includes:
• 10 laugh-filled chapters with cliffhanger endings
• A riddle at the end of each chapter to keep giggles going
• A bonus riddle page to test your Invisible Goat summoning skills
Warning: May cause glitter sneezes and spontaneous pasta cravings.

Luca sets off with his trusty spoon-compass, a talking backpack named Baffo, and a map made of toast crumbs to find the missing moon. Along the way, he meets:

• The Snoring Forest, where trees tell jokes in their sleep
• Queen Gigglepants, who rules the Kingdom of Chuckleberry
• The Invisible Goat, who only appears when someone says “Oops!”
• The Bubble Pirates, who sail in bathtubs and steal laughter
• Mamma Abbondanza, who gives Luca a magical pesto sandwich that reveals hidden paths
