'This is the story of Mum's latest miracle - VIMS - and how it almost got me killed . . .'
VIMS - the Virtual Interactive Mobile System - is the creation of Dominic's scientist mum. And it's amazing. An artificial intelligence masterpiece controlled by a single glove and a special pair of glasses, it can disarm a car bomb, search through underground pipes - or hold a baby . . . But then VIMS attacks violently and without warning, and Dominic realizes it is no longer a fantastic game. It's a dangerous reality.
Sophie's learning about medieval codes of honor in seventh grade honors class---and in life. Sophie's shaved her head to empathize with a gravely ill friend, but negative assumptions and cruel teasing have her trying to deflect the attention with humor---and wisecracking always seems to land her in trouble! In the meantime, Sophie takes action to prevent another of the Pops' mean schemes---but to do so, she lies about her friends and loses them as a result. When she finally understands the true intention of a code of honor, Sophie learns another absolute truth: God expects us to be completely honest---especially with ourselves. But if we fail, He forgives us. When Sophie comes clean, her best friends come around. She thwarts the Pops and gains the respect of her teachers, too.
The Corn Flakes are in a tizzy about the end-of-school dance---they might actually have to deal with the Fruit Loops (boys), and that's causing them all kinds of friction. Will the Flakes break up, or can Sophie direct a happy ending?
Faolan und Edme leisten hervorragende Dienste bei der Garde des Rings der Heiligen Vulkane. Doch das Wetter spielt verrückt: Obwohl es Sommer ist, schneit es unaufhörlich und es herrscht Hungersnot. In einem der Wolfclans ist Unruhe ausgebrochen, weil es nicht mehr genug Wächter an der Grenze zwischen Hinterlande und Frostwelt gibt und auf mysteriöse Weise immer mehr Wölfe verschwinden. Faolan und Edme versuchen, der Sache auf den Grund zu gehen und stoßen dabei auf Wölfe, die wie in Trance im Kreis tanzen, bis sie vor Erschöpfung zusammenbrechen. Die tanzenden Wölfe folgen einem Propheten, der einen eisernen Helm mit Visier trägt. Wer ist dieser Prophet? Und werden Faolan und Edme ihn stoppen, bevor er die Wölfe in den Tod treibt?

Connor Sullivan is too humble to admit it, but he's the Orioles' best player: an all-star shortstop and a beast of a cleanup hitter. The Orioles are thankful to have someone with his skill, dedication, and good nature on their Babe Ruth League team. Lately, though, Connor hasn't been so good-natured. Maybe he's worried about things at home, or maybe he's just been working too hard-whatever the reason, his anger is out of control. When he strikes out or makes an error, he's a walking Mount Vesuvius, slamming his batting helmet and throwing his glove. His opponents dub him "Psycho Sully." Even his best friend, Jordy, starts to avoid him. Coach Hammond is ready to bench him indefinitely.
Then the sports editor of the school paper threatens to do a big story on Connor's tantrums-complete with embarrassing photos. Will Connor be able to get his act together in time to help the team win the championship, or is he destined to become a champion chump on YouTube?
