Enough about that, let's get to 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: today's super Live Ay Lewis story. It certainly wasn't a 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: normal day, not like any other day that Alexandria, Levi, 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: and Ivy had experienced before, but fortunately for them, they 14 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: didn't know it yet. It was early on a Saturday 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: morning when Alexandria knocked on Levi and Ivy's door. Any 16 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: other Saturday morning at the time, they would have been 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: still in bed, dreaming of pancakes and bacon for breakfast, 18 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: but not that morning. They had been up for an hour, 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: already excited to get to their town library for the 20 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: big annual book sale. Their library held a giant book 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: sale every year to raise money for new books, library programs, 22 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: and this year a new outdoor seating area so people 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: could read books outside during nice weather. Hi, Alexandria, exclaimed 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: Levi as he opened the door wide. Come on in. 25 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: Our parents aren't up just yet, but they should be 26 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: any minute. Well, if they weren't up already, the loud 27 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: knocking sure would have been enough to get them out 28 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: of bed. Alexandra ran inside after Levi and Ivy and 29 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: jumped on the couch so excited for the day ahead. 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: Each of them held a paper list in their hands, 31 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: filled from top to bottom with the titles of all 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: the books they hoped to find at the book sale. 33 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: They had been saving up money for weeks to have 34 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: enough to get whatever they wanted. Maybe I'll find some 35 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: copies of the Time Traveler's Journal that I've never seen before, 36 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: gasped Alexandra with excitement. I heard there's a book in 37 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: the series that was never finished, but funny enough, ten 38 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: copies of it got released, they say. The author, Penelope Carson, 39 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: printed the copies to share with her publishing an editing 40 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: team so they could work together to figure out the 41 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: ending of a book, but somehow the unfinished copies ended 42 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: up getting mixed in with a delivery of books that 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: was headed to a bookstore and they were all bought. 44 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: All but one coffee was recovered, So it's still out 45 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: there somewhere, and I'd love to find it. That would 46 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: be amazing, said Levi. But why did the author never 47 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: finish the book? Someone asked her that once at a 48 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: book signing, and she said it was because she was 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: stumped at how to end it, replied Alexandria. Wow, super mysterious, 50 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: said Levi. I couldn't imagine finding a top secret book 51 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: unfinished story from the Quest for the Lost Treasure series. 52 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: I have every book and always buy the new one 53 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: as soon as it comes out. But since I read 54 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: them so often, some of the pages are falling out 55 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: of my favorite books, and it would be great to 56 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: find some replacements at the sale. After hearing all of this, 57 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: Ivy was quick to share what she was searching for. 58 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: Since The Enchanted Chronicles started out as a little kid 59 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: board book series before it became a chapter book series 60 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: for big kids like me, I always like to find 61 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: the toddler book versions of my favorite tales, said Ivy. 62 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: I have a collection of them on my bookshelf. The 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: art is so cute and they reminded me of when 64 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: my mom and dad would check them out of the 65 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: library and read them to me when I was little. 66 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: That really started my love of reading. And speaking of 67 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: mom and dad, here we are, said Levi and Ivy's 68 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: mom as she walked down the stairs. Levi and Ivy's 69 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: dad was yawning, but followed close behind you. Kids must 70 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: be pretty excited for the library book sale to be 71 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: up this early, said Levi and Ivy's dad. But it's 72 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: great how much you love to read, so we're happy 73 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: to get up early and take you down to the library. 74 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: Thank you, shouted the kids as they all went to 75 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: the kitchen to have a little something to eat before 76 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: getting in the car. In no time, they were all 77 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: pulling into the library parking lot and hopping out of 78 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: the car. They knew exactly where to go and didn't 79 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: waste any time. We'll see you inside, called out Ivy 80 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: as the kids all ran to the library through the 81 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: big glass front doors. As they ran up the stairs 82 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: toward the children's rooms, they passed by several signs directing 83 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: them to the book sale. It was in the giant 84 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: conference room that could be found in the back of 85 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: the library. They yelled hello to the children's library and 86 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: missus Kelly as they passed by. They could not and 87 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: would not be stopped. Before they reached the book sale. 88 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: Hold on kiddos called out Miss Kelly, the book sale 89 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: isn't quite open yet. You're the first one's here, and 90 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: it will open in just a minute. I know it 91 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: says opens at nine am, but when we got here 92 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: this morning, we found a wooden box filled with old 93 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: books waiting for us on the front steps. They wanted 94 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: to put them out before they opened the doors for 95 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: the sale. Books were donated every year from people all 96 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: over town and even from other towns to help the library. 97 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: Miss Kelly thanked Levi, Ivy and Alexandria for their patients 98 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: and walked back to the children's room. HM mysterious old 99 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: books left on the doorstep the day of the big sale, 100 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: darted LEVI. I wonder if there are any special books 101 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: mixed in, maybe, answered Alexandria, But I'm more interested in 102 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: just getting inside. The kids looked through the thin windows 103 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: on the side of the door to the conference room 104 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: and could see the table after table piled high with 105 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: books just waiting for them. At that point, Levi and 106 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: Ivy's pair had made it to the conference room and 107 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: asked why they were still waiting outside. The kids told them, 108 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: and as they did, one of the other librarians opened 109 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: the conference room door and welcomed them to the book sale. Alexandria, Ivy, 110 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: and Levi ran into the room and scattered into three 111 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: different directions, each holding their booklist. There were so many 112 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: books to look at, and they didn't know where to start. Finally, 113 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: they decided to each take a different section mark children's 114 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: books and start their search. Since they knew what the 115 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: others were looking for, they could search three times as 116 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: fast for the books they all wanted. Levi was the 117 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: first to call out that he found an enchanted Chronicles 118 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: Toddler book for Ivy's collection. Ivy, in turn told Levi 119 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: that she had found the Quest for the Lost Treasure section. 120 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: There must have been twelve books decked up there. Levi 121 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: was super excited and ran right over, leaving his section 122 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 1: of books behind. Alexandria, not seen anything in the area 123 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: she had first started looking through, made her way over 124 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: to where Levi had been, and there at her feet, 125 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: she noticed an old wooden box under the table. This 126 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: must be the old wooden box that those books were 127 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: in this morning, thought Alexandria to herself, as there were 128 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: no other boxes in the room at all. It looked 129 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: very old and very mysterious. It also looked as if 130 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: they hadn't put out all the books that were inside, 131 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: so Alexandra knelt down and grabbed out a few books. 132 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: They were dusty, but looked really interesting. Oh sorry about that, 133 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: said the librarian working at the book sale. I hope 134 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: that wasn't in your way. I saw how badly you 135 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: kids wanted to get in here, so I just stucked 136 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: that box under the table because I hadn't finished unpacking 137 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: it yet. No problem at all, answered Alexandria. I can 138 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: unpact the rest of them for you. Thank you, said 139 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: the librarian as she walked off to help another customer. 140 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: Alexandra picked up five more books that were at the 141 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: bottom of the box. There were two books about bird watching, 142 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: one book about outer space, one cookbook, and one book 143 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: that took her breath away. She just stood there, frozen 144 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: in place, looking at the cover of the book. Levi 145 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: and Ivy saw the look on their friend's face and 146 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: headed over to see what amazing book she had discovered. 147 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: By the smile on your face, it looks like you 148 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: found a good one, said Levi, juggling a stack of 149 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: books in his hands. Yeah, Alexandria, let us know what 150 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: you've got there, added Ivy. You'll never believe it. Even 151 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: I don't believe it, Alexandra began, as she turned the 152 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: book around so they could see the cover the time 153 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: Traveler's journal, the quest for an answer, read Levi out loud. 154 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: Sounds cool. Which number is that in the series? It 155 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: doesn't sound familiar to me. The smile on Alexandria's face 156 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: grew bigger and bigger before she said, it's not in 157 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: the series, well at least not officially. It's the lost book. 158 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: I found the lost copy of the unfinished book. Alexandria 159 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: danced around as the library and running the book sale 160 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: walked over to her. Kiddos, I know the book sale 161 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: is exciting, and I love how excited you are about reading, 162 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: but you have to keep your voices down. He said. Absolutely, 163 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: sorry about that, said Levi as he walked Alexandra and 164 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: Ivy over towards the big bank of windows that overlooked 165 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: the parking lot. Are you kidding me, asked Levi. That's 166 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: the book you were looking for. That's incredible, shouted Ivy 167 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: in a whisper. It's more than incredible, whispered Alexandria. It's 168 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: a mystery that has to be solved. I mean it's 169 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 1: right here in the title, the quest for an answer, 170 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: and I have so many of them. How did it 171 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: get here? Who had it all these years? And why 172 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: after all this time, am I the one who found it? Alexandria, 173 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy all stood silently thinking of answers to 174 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: these questions for a moment. Then the friends all smiled together. 175 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: Do you think this is another adventure for the book 176 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: buddies to go on? Asked Levi, as Ivy nodded her head. 177 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: I don't think so, I know, so, replied Alexandria. I 178 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: have this strange feeling that as long as I have 179 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: been looking for this book, it has been looking for me. 180 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: And now that we've found each other, I have to 181 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: answer this question. But first we need to read what's 182 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: been written already. Remember, the book was never finished, so 183 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: maybe we found it because we're supposed to finish it. 184 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: The book buddies looked excited as the amazing journey that 185 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: awaited them. They all took their books to the checkout, paid, 186 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: and then told Levi and Ivy's parents they wanted to 187 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: read a little bit before they went home. Their parents 188 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: decide to let them all stay at the library for 189 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: a little bit while they ran some errands around town. 190 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: And that was the beginning of it. All. The book 191 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: buddies found a quiet corner of the library and opened 192 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: up the lost book Alexandria had found, and as soon 193 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: as they did, they knew this would be a day 194 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: they would never forget. As Alexandra opened the dusty front cover, 195 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: a piece of folded up paper tumbled onto the floor. 196 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: She opened it as quickly as possible to see what 197 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: it said, unfolding and holding it up for all of 198 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: them to see. Hello. You have found this book for 199 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: a reason. It's been waiting for you. Your quest is 200 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: to find the answer that this book has been searching 201 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: for all these years.

Alexandria dropped it on the ground, and the 207 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: book buddies knew what they had to do next. It 208 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: looks like we're not reading this book after all, said Alexandria. 209 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: Follow me and now. She said that she stepped through 210 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: the page of the book as she Levi and Ivy 211 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: had done several times before, as her friends followed close behind. 212 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: That's when their adventure to answer the question in this 213 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: unfinished book began.
