Welcome to Adventures on Away Island.

0:11.8

Chapter 1, the mysterious paper.

0:17.3

The scent of pine cleaning fluid filled Marie's nostrils as she and her dad entered the library.

0:24.7

It was a familiar smell, one that Marie always associated with this place,

0:31.6

along with the sound of the fountain gurgling away near the entrance and the cool waft of air conditioning that greeted them as they

0:40.3

walked through the second set of automatic doors. The library was one of Marie's favorite places.
