The Curlytops on Star Island, by Howard R. Garis (1873 - 1962)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-curlytops-on-star-island-by-howard-r-garis/

Volunteers outside the USA: Howard R. Garis died in 1962. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 50 years; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
A fun-loving and sometimes mischievous young brother (Ted) and sister (Jan), (known as the Curlytops because of the headful of curls they have) are about to have some fun, and quite an amazing adventure camping out with Grandpa. (Summary by Laurie Banza)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/25477

Target completion date:

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Someone should soon. Feel free to upload and post the chapters that you have recorded. Sometimes with newer soloists, DPL's will hang back and watch to see how quickly you work. If we get to the half way point, and no one has jumped on board, we can advertise.

I'd be willing to proof listen sections 1-4! If it's alright with you, I have the time to take on a DPL role? Please let me know if that works. Thanks so much for your consideration!! :D

Yes, thank you, I accept - that would be great. Please keep in mind that this is a Standard PL project, so not strict word by word accuracy is necessary ok? Have fun! This is a fun children's story! Please feel free to PM me with any questions. Thanks again. :clap:
