For Marge Piscitelli, storytelling has always been more than words on a page—it’s been a lifelong dream. In 2022, she fulfilled that dream by publishing The Legend of the Great Mystical Oak Tree, a children’s story she had started writing over 40 years earlier.
The book introduces readers to Queenie the Squirrel and Buster the Blue Jay, two unlikely friends whose bond carries them through danger, riddles, and the mysteries of an enchanted forest. Their adventures captured hearts and set the stage for a trilogy that would grow into something much larger than Marge ever imagined.
A Trilogy of Friendship and Discovery
- 2022: The Legend of the Great Mystical Oak Tree
- 2023: The Gathering
- 2024: The Valley of the Bears
Together, these three books weave a tale of courage, friendship, and self-discovery, concluding Queenie and Buster’s journey.
But Marge didn’t stop there. At the end of 2024, she released The Island of Nera, introducing seven new characters on a remote island. With this expansion, her storytelling universe grew richer—and so did her mission.
Writing With Purpose
Marge’s driving force isn’t financial gain. Instead, every sale of her books supports Voices for the Voiceless, an all-volunteer nonprofit wildlife rescue organization. Inspired by her beloved rescue dog Buddy, who passed away in 2020, Marge decided her stories should serve a greater purpose: helping animals in need.
Voices for the Voiceless rescues and rehabilitates sick and abandoned wildlife. In 2024 alone, they responded to over 2,000 incidents—a testament to their tireless dedication. By purchasing one of Marge’s books, readers directly contribute to this lifesaving work.

Supporting Marge’s mission is as simple as buying a book. Each purchase not only brings a whimsical adventure into your home but also provides tangible aid to animals who cannot speak for themselves.
