An old friend finds their voice and the Story Pirates discover a surprising new planet, featuring two new stories: “Fun Crazy Weird Hair Store,” a rocker about a salon you can go to if you need a big change, by Silvia, a 9 year old from New Jersey, and “The Mountain Fart,” a story about one town dealing with an enormous stink, written by a 9 year old from Virginia named Hannah.

The Mountain Fart
by Hannah, age 9, Virginia
One day, something awful happened. A mountain farted. The whole town was minding their own buisness, when suddenly, they turned green! They ran to the nearest toilet, but it was too late! The stink filled the town so quickly that the government shutdown the government! Then, the sewer company arrived and saved everyone. The end.
