Book excerpt: "Shortly after the birth of Jerel Telmon, the galaxy changed around her. The oligarchy that had ruled over the section of the Milky Way known as The Sword of Orion was overthrown by an alliance led by Jerel's parents. The infant Jerel was spirited away from the final battle with only moments to spare." "Sixteen years later, Jerel Telmon lives happily with her uncle Orned on a planet that was once under the heavy hand of the Oligarchy and is still trying to find its way as a free society. A typical teenager of her highly urbanized world, Jerel's life consists of school, a part-time job and a maybe boyfriend until the day she is kidnapped by agents of the not-quite dead Oligarchy as part of their plan to revive their fascist regime." "Jerel escapes her captors only to find that she is somehow a pivotal piece in a game being played out on a galactic scale. Now, Jerel, along with her uncle Orned and an alien warrior who had fought at her parents ' sides, must flee not just the only home she has ever known but the only world she has known as well." "Her parents gave their lives to give billions control over their own futures. Now it is Jerel's destiny - and that of her companion - to complete the battle and secure a freedom proven more fragile than anyone could have known."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of Ms. Bixby’s Last Day and Posted returns with an unforgettable tale of love and laughter, of fathers and sons, of what family truly means, and of the ways in which we sometimes need to lose something in order to find ourselves. Celebrate dads and Father's Day year-round with this warm and witty novel for tweens. Rion Kwirk comes from a rather odd family. His mother named him and his sisters after her favorite constellations, and his father makes funky-flavored jellybeans for a living. One sister acts as if she’s always on stage, and the other is a walking dictionary. But no one in the family is more odd than Rion’s grandfather, Papa Kwirk. He’s the kind of guy who shows up on his motorcycle only on holidays handing out crossbows and stuffed squirrels as presents. Rion has always been fascinated by Papa Kwirk, especially as his son—Rion’s father—is the complete opposite. Where Dad is predictable, nerdy, and reassuringly boring, Papa Kwirk is mysterious, dangerous, and cool. Which is why, when Rion and his family learn of Papa Kwirk’s death and pile into the car to attend his funeral and pay their respects, Rion can’t help but feel that that’s not the end of his story. That there’s so much more to Papa Kwirk to discover. He doesn’t know how right he is.
