Though all the songs and rhymes are well-known, still it’ll be fun to listen to them once again: The alphabet song * What cuckoos say * Days the week * One, two, three, four * The little fingers * Little bird * The three little kittens * If you are happy * I like to skip * Dame trot * Trot to Boston * The train * Twinkle, twinkle, little star * The keys of the Kingdom * Sleep, baby, sleep. Moreover, you can not only sing with the singer but also sing to the music (which is usually very helpful).
When mirror twins Seth and Hadrian Castillo travel to Europe on holidays, they don't expect the end of the world to follow them. Seth's murder, however, puts exactly that into motion. From opposite sides of death, the Castillo twins grapple with a reality neither of them suspected, although it has been encoded in myths and legends for millennia. The Earth we know is just one of many "realms", three of which are inhabited by humans during various stages of their lives...and their afterlives.

But the pleasure tour became an unforgettable battle for survival when the plane crashed. Miraculously, three passengers survived – WAC Corporal Margaret Hastings, Lieutenant John McCollom, and Sergeant Kenneth Decker.
