Book 5: The Child that Never Was is out! https://t.co/PiTdErMuso #folkore #literacy #reading #adventure @EmagineTheatres

Our 2026 Folktellers for Literacy Program is full with over 1000 student participants! Registration is now closed as we prepare program kits. Get ready for a real rocket ride, folks! More info at https://t.co/8RVTIis0Ky @EmagineTheatres #literacy #reading #entertainment #movies

One of the many things we are proud of is the care and attention we take representing world mythologies and legends and the people who hold them close to their hearts. You'll see even more of that in Book 5: The Child that Never Was on 01/15/26. #respect #culture #myth #legend

Folktellers is coming in hot for 2026! Our Folktellers For Literacy program kits are being assembled for schools around Michigan and Book 5 in The Excerpts from an Unknown Guidebook Series is slated for a 01/15/26 release. Buckle Up Buttercups! @EmagineTheatres

Now, we would be the first to admit that the Excerpts from an Unknown Guidebook Series took a teensy-weensy bit of inspiration from the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books, but this is just silly. #folktellers #literacy #hardyboys #mystery #adventure

We are winding down the year and looking forward to our Folktellers for Literacy Program in 2026 in partnership with @EmagineTheatres . Hundreds of student groups have signed up already - it's fun and FREE, so please join us at

Santa isn't the only one getting ready. Our friends at @EmagineTheatres were kind of enough to let these little elves in to prepare for our upcoming literacy program. #literacy #reading #entertainment #movies #learning

Our literacy program can be run right in the classroom, including the red carpet ceremony (look at these smiling faces!). In 2026, students will get a chance for a massive red carpet celebration at @EmagineTheatres #awards #redcarpet #literacy #reading

Book 5: The Child that Never Was premieres next month! Our intrepid teens travel Down Under to discover an evil unseen, a shadow world growing, and the child who holds the key to an illusive book. The only question that remains is whether they will live long enough to find it.

Registration for our Folktellers for Literacy Program is now open. Hundreds of Michigan students have already signed up! Check out the winning student video from our inaugural program: https://t.co/EtArHVI4Ks @EmagineTheatres
