Big Game

Teddy Fitzroy is investigating another crime at FunJungle Zoo. A shot has been fired through the enclosure of a pregnant rhino, and rhino horns are in high demand in the black market. His nemesis, Large Marge, wants to convict him in a candy store robbery, and he has finally been granted permission to investigate, with a threat to his parents' jobs if he doesn't. And Teddy cannot decide between the head cheerleader at school and his friend Summer, daughter of the billionaire who owns it. Which might not be on the same level of importance as catching the attempted murderer before the rhino dies, but it still feels important to him.

Maximum Ride: Schools out-Forever

Maximum Ride is on a mission- to find the families of herself and her friends. Or at least, she was until her friend Fang was injured, they were taken in by an FBI executive, and things generally began spiraling downhill. Now everything is uneasily peaceful. But the Flock is more tense than usual. They have no leads for their parents. And more Erasers- lupine-human hybrids created to destroy avian-human hybrids like the Flock- keep showing up. A Voice inside her head has told her- time and time again- that she is meant to save the world. But how can she start if she doesn't know what she will save it from?

Daydream- SOL 1

  I'm distracted. I can't do work because I can't concentrate. Inside my head, my mind paints a picture. Dragons fight. Not just a duel- a battle, a war, hundreds in my mind. Silver-white and black scales clash in midair. Fire and ice flash in the sky. Both sides are vicious, fighting for nothing but revenge, the cause actually somewhat like one of my mom's Game Of Thrones theories about how a war started. To prevent any spoilers, both in Wings of Fire if the reader reads it (or has read it but has not read Winter Turning yet), and if my mother's theory actually is correct, I won't say why the war started. White IceWings are afraid of what the black NightWings can do, but they keep fighting. NightWings know that they can go extinct in one battle, but they keep fighting. Fighting for loved ones killed and lost. Fighting with such anger they will hate each other for thousands of years to come. They hate, and teach their children to hate, say it was the other's fault. But who's was it really? After a moment, Max taps me on the shoulder, and tells me to get back to work. The daydream is over-at least for now.
