This is happening!! This is really happening!! And you Hedge Schoolers are some of the first to know.

A place where I grew up with magic, and whimsy and wonder.<br/><br/><strong>Synopsis:</strong><br/><br/><em>Adam’s dad is sick with a mysterious illness. While Clara’s dad has just up and left her family.</em><br/><br/><em>Adam’s Auntie G gives him a treasure map to find a magical healing gem in Arcadia. Clara is approached by Adam and his friends on a full moon, Queen tide summer night to find the gem and save his dad.</em><br/><br/><em>The crew is transported through the Arcadia Rock portal to a mysterious land where Auntie G is much younger and shows them how to discover the true power of healing and their own magical powers of intuition.</em><br/><br/><em>Will Clara, Adam and their friends reach the gem in time? Join the Arcadian crew as they learn how to fremember together.</em><br/><br/>Yes. I said, fremember… with an F. As in free-memory. As in future memory. This simple word and term that actually means so much was inspired by my niece Savannah who at three years old used to only say… fremember. “Don’t you fremember?” We started saying it too, and I got curious.. What does fremember mean? How does one fremember?<br/><br/>This story answers those questions.<br/><br/>Huge hat tip goes out of my friend Steve Brophy for writing out the steps of how to publish a book <a target="_blank" href="https://hedgeschool.substack.com/p/ever-wanted-to-write-a-book-my-self#details">Part 1</a> & <a target="_blank" href="https://hedgeschool.substack.com/p/how-to-make-a-book-come-to-life#details">Part 2</a> and leading the way with his debut <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/alight-lament-Steve-Brophy-ebook/dp/B09TQ46SFX/ref=
