What it does

Install on any device

Phone, tablet, or computer — StoryReader installs straight from your browser like a real app. No app store, no sign-up hoops, no cost. Ever.

Read or listen

Every story comes with friendly audio narration, and the words light up as they’re read aloud — perfect for early readers following along, or for grown-ups who’d rather listen with their eyes closed.

Works offline

Download stories ahead of time and they’re yours anywhere — road trips, campsites, waiting rooms, or the far corner of the pasture where the signal never reaches.

Remembers your place

Start a story on the couch, finish it at bedtime on a different device. Your spot follows you, so nobody ever has to ask “wait, where were we?”

New-story alerts

Gunner isn’t done getting into trouble. Turn on notifications and you’ll know the moment a new adventure lands in the library.

The whole library

All 42 stories across all 8 eras — from the East Texas homestead to the Virginia mountains — in one tidy, kid-friendly reader.
