Penelope, the adventurous daughter of Tessello the captain's cat, has seen pretty much all there is of the Old Town History Museum and its sprawling Garden.

She's bored, and decides that today (yes, today!) she's going on an adventure.

The thing is, there is only one friend she can really take; Knuckles Chesterfield (Esq.) — a portly squirrel who hates adventures, danger, unnecessary movement, and pretty much everything except eating, picnics, examining himself in the mirror, writing books about picnics, and of course, fine clothes.

So when Penelope suggests they ask the sinister gnome from the haunted end of the Garden to take them to the sea, you can imagine Knuckles' delight. 

As usual, though, Penelope gets her way. Much to the disgust of Knuckles, the pair soon find themselves in the gnome's submarine heading down into an underworld of riddles, dark secrets, pirates, dragons and one-eyed seers in search of the fallen star that will bring light to the Caverns of the gnomes.

Will they find it? Or even get to the sea like the gnome promises? Probably not, since the sinister gnome in question, one Boris Bones, has a very dangerous plan in store for Penelope. Somehow it involves the strange disappearance of Tessello, a complex riddle, and a mystery as ancient as light itself.

PS - Don't mind the PG-13 rating. This is a very 'G' rated book like all Addison's Tales. The platform's algorithm must have picked up a combination of flagged words and I can't alter it to 'G'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PPS - I am thinking of changing the cover for this as it doesn't convey all the action, colour and adventure packed into the tale. What do you think? Should I make it more like the cover for Tom Thorneval? With the characters Penelope, Boris Bones, Tibbens (the miserable) and Knuckles (the actually quite useless) framed with a few extra special characters you'll meet later in the story?

Lu Chao Chao found herself transported into the pages of a novel. In this story, she was cast as a disposable character, doomed to be killed at birth, with her place in the narrative usurped by the story's heroine. This heroine, under the guise of moral virtue, accuses her adoptive mother and grandfather of betraying their country, which results in the extermination of her entire lineage. Following this, she reclaims her birth mother and, alongside her ineffectual father, manages to dodge any culpability, leading a blissful existence thereafter. Thus, only Lu Chao Chao's family ends up as mere footnotes in the heroine's path. Observing her mother, who has been subjected to years of emotional manipulation, Lu Chao Chao reveals a painful truth: ["Mother, the love of your life is currently awaiting his concubine's childbirth."]. This revelation jolts her infatuated mother to reality. Turning her attention to her physically challenged elder brother, she laments ["Big brother, you have endured unspeakable humiliation and suffering. But fear not, for I have the means to cure your affliction!"]. Remarkably, her brother then goes on to surpass every contender in the capital, achieving unrivaled greatness. To her second brother, she unveils a harsh truth ["You have misplaced your trust. Your so-called best friend is nothing but the illegitimate offspring of our despicable father."]. And to her third brother, she points out his deliberate downfall ["You were purposefully led astray, left ignorant, succumbed to gambling, and found yourself in dire straits."]. In her candidness, Lu Chao Chao watches as her family overturns their doomed fates. The detestable man is cast aside, and her three brothers rise to become paragons of virtue and success. Even she, merely an infant with a feeding bottle, becomes the darling of the entire world. 📌 Story and translation are not mine, all credit goes to the real owner. For offline reading only.

(Book 1) Synopsis Audrey woke up and found that she had transmigrated into a book. As a mediocre actress, Audrey was satisfied with her income. Even though her parents favored boys over girls, at least she could support herself. Just when she had finally saved up some money and hadn't had a chance to enjoy it, she ended up in a different world?! She didn't know if it was God's mercy or compensation, but Audrey's role in the book was a wealthy heiress. In the book, her birth mother arranged for Audrey to be married into a wealthy family, and she had to compete with her other siblings for the family inheritance. The tragic outcome was predictable. Confused by the original character's actions, Audrey decided to lay low and become a wealthy but useless person. One day, Audrey's family members noticed that she had changed. Strangely enough, they could read her thoughts on her face. Even her second brother, who had always treated her like air, could see her sarcastic comments about him. [What's with that outfit today? Does he really think he looks good?] And when he was about to give up his directing career and return to the company, he could see the words on Audrey's face. [Why fight for power? Isn't it better to do what you love and still make money? You're so foolish.] Second brother: '...That makes sense.' The eldest sister, who had always ignored the subtitles on Audrey's face, finally noticed them one day. [Is she being foolish? Is it worth marrying for power? Doesn't she have enough money of her own?] After looking at her own wealth, the eldest sister quietly rejected the arranged marriage. Later on, Audrey noticed that her pocket money was increasing. As she gazed at the jewelry her second brother and eldest sister gave her, she fell into deep thought. THIS STORY IS NOT MINE!!!!! FOR OFFLINE PURPOSES ALL CREDITS TO THE AUTHOR AND TRANSLATOR. ...
