    About this ebook

    True Stories of Make-Believe to Entertain Readers
    New book is an anthology of engaging short stories filled with
    mysteries and adventures.
    McMinnville, OR Author Wave Joann Stevens treats young readers and
    fantasy-lovers as she releases, through Xlibris, a rich collection of exciting tales
    carved out of her imaginative mind. Mystery, Adventure & Nonsense: True Stories
    of Make-Believe takes readers to a world of the bizarre, eccentric, and utter fun.
    Composed of six different stories that are somehow interrelated, this release
    entertains with its unusual themes and unpredictable twists. Throughout the
    engaging pages, readers will follow The Adventures of Ollie and Willie, the
    peculiarity of the Reflections in the Mirror, the unconventional twirling
    of The Ballerina, the oblivion of The Boy, the consequences of being
    Topsyturvy, and the comfort of the Wooden Arms. Offering not only
    amusement, all these stories are filled with lessons and morals that are oftentimes
    forgotten in todays modern lifestyle.
    With its unconventional characters and uncanny yet highly amusing feel, Mystery,
    Adventure & Nonsense: True Stories of Make-Believe is a complete compilation of
    tales that exude the importance of having dreams, the bliss of friendship, and
    the essence of nature. This book will entertain both the young and the young at
    heart. For more information on this book, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
