“Wow!” I thought to myself as I rode home from eighth grade graduation with my mom and my brother Tommy in my mom's minivan.
“I thought for sure there was going to be a fist fight or a riot when Gordon showed up at graduation. Especially since he had been told not to come to the graduation. I wish he could have experienced the graduation himself. It’s too bad Mr. Muscleman had to take him out of the gymnasium as soon as he got there. I guess that’s why he wasn’t invited. Maybe if he had……”
“Hey you two!” my mom interrupted my thoughts. “How about a pizookie over at TJ’s Diner? I think we could all use a treat right now. Besides, we need to celebrate Nancy Jane’s accomplishments too.”
“Yeah,” Tommy said as he turned his head from the front seat of the minivan to peer back where I was sitting, “we need to celebrate that Nancy Jane will never have to go back to middle school. I don’t think this family can handle any more drama from that group of drama kings and drama queens that were in your class at middle school.”
“You’re real funny, Tommy!” I said sarcastically. “But you’re not very smart. All of those so-called drama kings and queens will be going right along with me to high school next year. So who knows what will happen next year?"
“Oh yeah!” Tommy replied. “Things will probably get worse. We’d better hire a bodyguard, get a security system for the house…. or MOVE! That’s it; we should move to some place where nobody knows you!”
“TOMMY!” I yelled from the back seat as I threw the sweatshirt jacket that had been beside me on the seat forward towards my brother.
“KIDS!” my mom almost screamed. “ENOUGH! Just quit it! We’ve all been through a lot this past year with the name-calling, the bullying, and the threatening phone calls. We all need to just take a big, deep breath and then get on with our summer. High school will be a whole new experience for everyone. So both of you take a chill pill and relax. Now I’m looking forward to my delicious pizookie from TJ’s.”
“You’re right, Mom,” I responded, “what will be, will be.”
********
While my mom, Tommy, and I enjoyed the warm pizookies at TJ’s Diner, we began to make plans for the summer that lay ahead of us.
Jack, my mom’s boyfriend, had been in Los Angeles on a business trip that he could not get out of. Otherwise, he would have been at my eighth grade graduation because he loved me like his own daughter. Unfortunately, some foreign investors could only meet with Jack and his boss today in Los Angeles, but the good news in all of this was that Jack arrived at TJ’s Diner about the time our pizookies were brought to us. I wondered why my mom ordered the large one. I guess she knew she would be having a guest share it with her.
As we talked about our summer, the drama and excitement that had happened during my middle school years seemed to be moving more and more to the past.
What was getting my attention now was the talk about a nice long road trip to Utah. I had never been to Utah before. I’d been to Los Angeles a few times, but never anywhere else... but..

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Story
Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive organization that will stop at nothing to track her down. And most astonishing of all: she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth, she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.
