Amelia Moon & the Solstice Spectacular

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Meet Amelia Moon, a “precocious” (per her third grade teacher) teenager from the small (and mostly quiet) town of Sundance, Wyoming. Whether fly-fishing for rainbow trout in the Belle Fourche River, enjoying a wood-fired pizza from the hundred-year-old Smokey Moses oven, or joining her Forest Ranger father to check on the local wolf reintroduction program in the Bear Lodge Mountains, Amelia makes the most of the luxuries her western town affords.  But, with the annual Summer Solstice Spectacular just around the corner, she’s about to discover her hometown isn’t as sleepy as it seems. In the weeks leading up to the celebration, Amelia and her quirky best friend, Veyla, stumble upon strange events and hidden clues that suggest Sundance is hiding deep secrets. And the deeper the girls get, the more they keep tripping over the invisible thread connecting all these long-buried mysteries – Amelia’s own family's elusive history. Suddenly, the world Amelia thought she knew unravels, revealing hidden wonders and unforeseen challenges. Each twist pulls Amelia closer to answering one question: is she ready to embrace her destiny?"
