Marcie is an oddity in her village, the daughter of a widower with both village and outsider blood in her veins. She cares for her drunken father, and struggles to fit in with the rest of the village. Everything changes when she comes across two dragons, a mother and her new born, and unwittingly becomes the Tamer of the baby dragon when his mother dies. This new unlikely bond completely changes her life and opens doors to her future that she would have never thought possible whilst also causing her pain and heartache.

Meet Kyle and Kate, two 15 year old students who have a gift for thinking fast, quick, and smart. Oh, and meet the other 18 kids in their class. Some call them genius, some call them annoying. PART 1 The year starts off bad enough, that is, with earthquakes and snowstorms. And finally, when things starts to clear up, the first murder occurs. Right in front of their eyes. It seemed obvious who did it, but as the murderer wrote her confession, a completely different murder occurs across town. Shocked, the police rush over to gather the evidence and clues, but before they even assemble their evidence, the police are led to another death. One by one, deaths occur around town, faster than the police can count. There's not much in common with all of the murders, only the fact that all of the victims come from one class. In the course on one year, the class of 18 shrinks drastically. PART 2 As summer vacation begins, the remains of the class split. Five students tell their stories of meeting new people, near death experiences, and funny incidences. PART 3 More than what meets the eye happened in the course of the summer. The class comes back to a new year, utterly shocked to find that 4 new students have joined their class. Everything starts out alright, but people are getting frantic. The government sent in spies to watch the class for suspicious behavior, two of them students themselves. Two other students are hired to try to figure things out on their own. What nobody realizes however, is what's important. As the year goes on, some of the students realize: -A secret passageway may not be limited to only the house. -The school has a basement -Falling down a flight of stairs can save lives A supposedly dead student wakes up from a coma, people start realizing things, all leading to the final, seemingly unimportant clue, that closed the gap from arresting the wrong person, to finding the real murderer.

Stories can change over time until it is almost completely backwards and unrecognizable. How it came to be is often lost. That is why it is best to look toward the beginning of things, rather than what it became; because only then will you truly understand. It didn't happen ages ago in a land far away-but it happened right here, right now, in an ordinary town with ordinary kids. Let me tell you my story of how it all began. Let me tell the story of the boy who never stopped running, that is, until he began to fly. Created 2016

Always expect the unexpected. Drake is, and has always been living his calm life in middle school where he's the top of the class in creative writing, his friends and teachers are awesome, and Mira is always student council president. Always. Starting from her fifth grade year, Mira always won by a landslide. Every time. She's unbeatable, invincible, and talented, which doesn't really bother Drake that much... What bothers him is the fact that someone wants him to help beat her. It's not that he doesn't want to help. It's the fact that it just isn't possible... or so he thought... Icana always had a big rivalry with Mira, and decides once and for all that she will beat her at something. Drake isn't surprised that she wants the position, but the turn of events is nothing that he expects. *Please vote during the voting stage! I really appreciate it! ;) June 14- June 21 P.S. To all fans of Greek Mythology, have fun trying to figure out which myth I used!

Lacey is a bat girl. Seven years ago, her mother wished at the well in the heart of the Wish Wood, transforming a young bat-ling into a human girl--mostly human. But Lacey is growing up, Mama has a real daughter now, the kids in town tug on her pointy ears, and the schoolmistress chides her for hissing and baring her sharp teeth at her tormentors. Lacey is overwhelmed by all the typical angst of being a teenage girl, being an outcast, and the animal nature inside her--which seems to be out of her control. Will she give in to her baser instincts or will she be the daughter Mama wants her to be? The struggle brings her back to the haunted Wish Woods, where she learns just what kind of animal she can be.
