Mandy Pandy and the Cider Moon Mystery

By: John Anthony Davis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A simple errand for her mother. Three jugs of famous cider. What could possibly go wrong?

Mandy Pandy is about to find out.

When the young panda sets off to fetch cider for the Harvest Home celebration, she expects nothing more than a pleasant autumn walk with her two best friends: Flick, a cheerful firefly, and Whisper, a mysterious creature made of living shadow. But the ancient orchard holds secrets older than anyone remembers.

The cider smells like everything good about autumn. Like the first fire of the season. Like a hug from someone you haven't seen in too long. But something else is hiding beneath that sweetness. Something that has been waiting for millions of years. Something lonely. Something hungry.

When a fast-talking thief named Lonny D steals the cider and vanishes into the darkness, Mandy must follow him to Dusthole, a town of broken creatures who have given up on hope. There she discovers the truth: the orchard is a door, the apples are keyholes, and the cider is the key. Something ancient is pressing against the other side, and only Mandy can decide whether to close the door forever or let it open and face what comes through.

A story about looking without looking away. About mending what has been broken for so long that breaking feels like the only way to be. About the stubborn, foolish belief that even the oldest wound can heal if someone is brave enough to see it.

Join Mandy Pandy, Flick, Whisper, and a cast of unforgettable creatures on an adventure through orchards that remember, tunnels that whisper, and places where forgotten stories go to wait for someone to remember them again.
