Minnesota, often fondly referred to as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," is a magical kingdom speckled with sparkling bodies of water. A place where the trees holler "hello" in the summer breeze and the snowflakes waltz in winter. In this whimsical land, there's a group of exceptional kids, known as the "Glistening Glass Guild." The Glistening Glass Guild is a troupe of youngsters who delight in the craft of glasswork. They are as diverse as the many lakes of Minnesota. There's Lulu, the leader, with red hair as fiery as the glass furnace and a laughter that echoes across the lakes. Benny, the gentle giant, whose glasses are as thick as the bottom of a glass bottle, and whose heart is as soft as freshly blown glass. And then there's the youngest, Tilly, tiny but mighty, her fingers are nimble and she can twist and twirl the molten glass into the most beautiful of shapes. Their magical mentor, Sir Molten Marbles, an elf with a beard as white as Minnesota snow and eyes twinkling like the surface of Lake Superior, guides them. Sir Marbles, despite having fingers slightly singed from centuries of glasswork, crafts dreams into reality, teaching the kids to mold molten blobs into beautiful glassy masterpieces. In the heart of this great state, these kids play, laugh, and create, their giggles echoing off the glass. No day ends without a funny situation. Like when Benny's glasses magnified the sun's rays and melted a hole in Lulu's hat or when Tilly tried to make a glass unicorn and ended up with what looked more like a one-eyed llama. In the magical land of Minnesota, life is as colorful and vibrant as the glassworks of the Glistening Glass Guild.
