Most 'free' sites with popular novels are content farms that will serve you ads and potentially other evils. Their "download" buttons are often fake and will install junk on your computer. The reading experience on these sites is usually abysmal: too small a font size, random and irregular line wrapping, and sometimes even missing pages. It's a false economy of your time and attention. If cost is really your only barrier to reading something, then for God's sake go to a library and get it for free, or set up a price drop alert for the Kindle edition on ereaderiq.com and wait for it to drop to the price of your choice.

Since free e-books, online and offline, are tricky to find (even if they are legally offered) I would start by looking for the free novel in your local library’s ebook collection. You can also put a hold on it and most libraries actually listen to their patrons’ suggestions. Another option to find free e-books is BookBub, but most of the time the free books are not well known. Still worth a look though.

A note on the male leads: Callisto fans will likely pay for high-def versions of his scenes. Derrick sympathizers may not feel as motivated to spend on the story. (I’m pretty sure that’s a word that’s used.) Generally, how much one emotionally invests in a story will correlate to how much of a pain one is willing to put themselves through to read it. I only used really questionable sites to read Derrick when I wasn’t really interested in the story. But as soon as I was fully hooked, I was more than happy to shell out for a subscription to get the best way to read the story in the most hassle-free way possible.

The book is sitting on my shelf right now. It's a short book packed with lots of insight. Buying the physical copy was better for my family than the digital version because we could use the workbooks for the kids to draw in for certain sections. I sometimes see the author’s website offer discounts on the book. Occasionally it will be included in parenting giveaways that are posted on forums. Worth keeping an eye out for.

Looking for a free read? I know the feeling. I recently discovered Goodreads giveaways for books and Amazon’s ‘First Reads’ program for original titles similar to those found in the Free2Read program. For ‘Good Inside’ the audiobook is available through the premium Spotify catalog of books (Spotify Premium Free Trial). While the book isn’t going anywhere, I have offered a Free Trial of Audible as an alternative. If you choose to sign up for the free trial, don’t forget to cancel before they start charging you. If you’re willing to wait, hopefully the book will be on sale or you can put it on hold at your local library.

The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pène Du Bois is one of my favorite books because it led me to a world of steampunk-like fiction that I have loved ever since – even before I knew that genre existed. Krakatoa’s ingenious balloon community was the height of creativity to my 12-year-old mind. As for free access to the book, check to see if your local library has the e-book available for borrowing through services like Hoopla. Otherwise, second-hand bookstores and websites like ThriftBooks can often sell used copies for $5 or less. I avoid piracy, but I have seen PDFs of the book shared on forums and the like. Just be careful what you download. But, for me, nothing can be as wonderful as holding a copy of the Newbery Medal-winning edition of this book – the many illustrations are half the fun!

So, I am a totally above board and respectable person, and the quickest way for you to get 'The Bonus' free is for you to go to your local library, download the app for your library, such as Libby/OverDrive, and borrow it as a free audiobook download. Yep, I confirmed that it is listed in library systems for audiobook borrowing, so go get it! Okay, if you are willing to go for a short-term ‘trick’ to get an audible audiobook, then the free trial for Audible can get you the audiobook title you want for free too (and then you just have to remember to cancel before they charge you for another month). Author’s sites and publisher’s websites also typically list out excerpts from books and also let you know which editions of a book include ‘bonus’ scenes too. I personally found borrowing the audiobook through my library app to be super easy and guilt-free, so that is my first recommendation to you!

How do people get access to free audiobooks outside of libraries? Are there services like Spotify that offer them? I feel like I’m really behind on the whole audio thing.

It’s a single novel, a standalone, and often hype around things that are book club picks or are in development for TV can make them seem larger than they are. This novel feels like one novel and I didn’t feel any pressure to read three or four novels to get to the end of this one story.
All storylines are brought to a close by the end of the book. That does not mean that all characters are brought to closure regarding their lives in general, however. In reality, their lives are never brought to closure and many ends are left open. However, the specific plot of the book is concluded for you. Therefore, if you detest cliffhangers and are worried about having to wait for years for a series to continue, this novel is a safe bet. It is one book, with one story. Everything is brought to a close for you, within the confines of the book, and you will be left satisfied.

The voice actress of Scarlet in a recent radio interview stated that she has yet to be approached for further recording sessions for the sequel but would be very interested to. She comments that her role in recent years has been one of her favorites. While this is not confirmation of the sequel, it is also not a denial of the rumors that are currently in circulation. Usually when a sequel is entering production in the early stages the main cast will have their schedules tentatively blocked. The fact that Scarlet’s voice actress has yet to receive any communications regarding new recording sessions may indicate that the production is not yet actively in production or possibly pre-production talks are taking place and she is not aware of them.
