Hello and welcome back to Kuala Moon, a podcast of Original Children's Bedtime

stories and meditations designed to make Bedtime a dream. You are right in time to hear the latest in the brilliant Jupiter Twins series.

Last time we joined them, they were helping out a friendly griffin called Wendellin.

Tonight's story is a little bit more relatable.

We are meeting up with Lily and Jake on a shopping trip.

It's the last week of the summer holidays and they're soon heading back to school. They can't wait and they need to prepare.

They need their stationery, their spellbooks and a magical companion to accompany them back to the Liorra Academy.

So, they decide to go to the cobble twisting streets of York.

Snuggle down now and relax. the Academy by Luke Prendergast.

Lily and Jake, the Jupiter Twins had been enjoying their summer holidays tremendously.

Six weeks had passed since they'd last been at the Leora Academy of Magic, hidden beneath the city.

Instead, they'd been at home with their parents, using the magic they'd learned the previous

year at school to help out in all kinds of ways.

With a simple spell they'd gathered up the clumps of grass that got left on the lawn behind the lawnmower.

With a wave of their arms, they'd folded clothes and washed dishes and scrub the knives and forks until they shone brand new.

Their parents were both delighted with their magical abilities.

It was a real blessing having a couple of young magicians hanging around the house, they said.

When they weren't helping their parents, the Jupiter twins spent their time relaxing and playing

games.

Lily was glad to be back in her room with her jam-packed

bookshelf, re-reading some of her favourite stories and in the afternoons she and

Jake would go out to climb trees with their friends.
