Description:
"Tales, unlike stories, never lie. You see, a tale is an account of things in their due order, often divulged secretly, or as gossip. Would you like to hear one?" —Lord Autumn
Uncle Ebb was so good at telling his tales of the Moon Realm that sometimes it sounded like he’d been there himself.
As children, Lily and Jasper listened raptly to his bedtime tales of a place where nine moons swirled around one another, each inhabited by strange and wondrous beings: magical lunamancers; undersea merfolk; wise birds; winged dragons; and Lily’s favorite, the heroic, leonine Rinn.
There was only one rule: don’t tell a soul.
But now, years later, Uncle Ebb is missing. Lily has learned the secret behind the tales, and soon Jasper will too. But there’s one big problem. You see, something terrible has happened in the Moon Realm. . . .
Featuring twenty-two stunning full-color illustrations by Carolyn Arcabascio. Volume One of the fantasy adventure series The Moon Realm.

Although dividing the life to separated parts seems to be irrational andunscientific, to understand the problem I have to do this. We always are
experiencing two different state of life: living or understanding. In this
essay, I’m going to write about different degrees of tendency for living and
understanding.
As far as I concern, the most important purpose of living
things is surviving. During billions years, we developed different behaviors
for surviving, followed by mating and reproduction. These behaviors
including war, collecting or saving money or food, forming family, fear,
avoiding dangerous situations, etc warranty our survive and consequently
our eternal development and evolution. I call this process “living”.
Another important point is “Understanding” which means personal
development. Every living thing has a special purpose in life and has been
planning to reach them as well as some plans for improving or renovating
him/herself.
Since “Living” is almost reachable in our developed and secure world, I
suggest we should emphasize on the personal aspects of life or
“Understanding”. Life consists of different experiences from pleasure to pain
to sadness or happiness which all of them are transitory. But our knowledge
and understanding about our self and universe are more considerable and
powerful. Consequently, I always emphasize on the pleasure of
understanding through science and knowledge which is the most beautiful
pleasure. Moreover, if you look into statistics of quarrel and violence, family
problems, addictions, alcoholism, etc you will realize most of involved
people aren’t educated enough.
Overall I believe that science and knowledge make us more aware and
intelligent and consequently more strong and powerful .In addition, they
are the most important sources of understanding human existence, nature
and the universe instead of traditional lifestyle, efforts, beliefs or assumptions
