Circle Round

I’m 9 and a half years old. I love the podcasts. Although I hate the adds, I do like the episodes. My favorite episode is “Princess in the mirror” because of the part when princess 👑 Mira tells one of the boys, “You could have used that magic apple 🍎 only once and then you could never get one more. You used it on me instead of saving it for just you when your sick!”. I was wondering, could you make another episode? I want it to be about a girl named Riley and she lost a rose necklace from her mother. For fun, I added a spot the difference!
