Honey I Shrunk the Sleepover and found a magical artifact

Forsynthia V02: The Shrink Ray Sleepover by Rachel DiNunzio

May 7, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A while back, I found Forsynthia V01: Rise of the Cupcakes  by Rachel DiNunzio in an online reader copy. I was blown away.

The parents are modern and caring (if maybe a […]

And while it can be a stand-alone read, it probably would have helped to read book one first. The adventures of the story are unbelievable, yet, probably plausible. Our main character is a treasure […]

    When I get like this I ask my id what it wants to read.

    on This metaphor is a metaphor for my metaphor.
    I don't remember much about this book, and I do not remember a Choose Your Own Adventure section at all!...
