## Resource

A row of gem-covered cave trolls is blocking the only path forward — and they want something shiny before they'll move. Avery and Quinn reach the Troll Crossing, where the enormous, gemstone-hoarding Grumstone and his crew demand payment for passage. The boys have tools, weapons, a pocket panda, and one thing Quinn really doesn't want to give up. Past the trolls, a strange sound echoes from the direction of the lava fields — something big, something with horns, and something that has apparently been stuck down there for days. A funny and surprising underground fantasy audio story for kids ages 6-11, perfect for car rides and screen-free entertainment.
