Summary

For Gray, being a member of the Lucky Seven might not be so luckyThey’re called the Lucky Seven. The most popular girls in sixth grade, they are the envy of everyone else in the school, and Caitlin Donnelley is their queen. Gray is the shyest member of the group, the most fragile, and the easiest for the others to pick on. Last year, she was nearly ejected from the Seven, and since then nothing has been as important as clinging to her status in the group—not even her mother’s ongoing battle with cancer. Caitlin throws a sleepover for her birthday, and when Gray goes to the kitchen for a glass of juice, she disappears without a trace. To find Gray and keep her alive, the girls will have to put their differences aside and work together. But some of them have secrets they’re not telling—and for this particular gang of girls, being nice does not come naturally. This ebook features a personal history by Adele Griffin including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s own collection.

    Asteroid of the Damned by Frederik Pohl - Somewhere on that asteroid of sin lurked the crime king of the Universe. 
"Sorry, son," MacCauley said with the barrel-scrapings of his patience. "I said no and I meant it. I haven't got anything to give you. Now please stop waggling at me and go." 
The excited glitter of the Palladian's luminiferous eyes died dispiritedly. MacCauley turned his back on the slight-bodied asterite and rapped his thumbnail against his drained glass. The bartender, a heavy and humorous man, expertly refilled Mac's glass with oily, musky, milk-white synthetic liquor and said: "This Kiddie bothering you? Scat, you, or I'll see that you never get into this place again." 
Mac shrugged as he watched the stripling strain to catch the bartender's meaning by reading his lips, then mournfully disappear. "No more than they all do," he answered. "What's the matter with them, anyhow? They're positively nutty on the subject of money." 
The bartender shook his head and snatched a quick drag on a smoldering cigar-stub. Replacing it on a ledge, he said: "Not money so much. You couldn't bribe a Kiddie with a certified check for a couple of billion dollars. They're not bright, exactly; they don't regard paper as worth anything. It's metal they want. If it happens to be precious, that's all right, but any kind of metal will do. What they're really crazy about, of course, is silver and copper. They'll do just about anything for it, including murder and treason." 
Mac, listening too intently, gulped a bit more of his drink than even his spaceman's gullet could take. When the red-hot lava stopped strangling him and he could see once more through the streaming fountains that had been his eyes, he managed to choke out: "What do they want it for? Do they eat it?"

    Ebenezer Scrooge aims to fire Bob Cracket again; reason being, he wants full custody of Tiny Tim. The English snow falls crisp and hard on Crachet voice. Yet unknown to Scrooge, Tiny Tim's father Bob knows this from Scrooge's adopted nephew Horatio over lunch.It's been a year since Scrooge gave up drinking and being miserly. He even rescued a black stray cat named Marley.It seems Scrooge is outraged by Parliament not allowing his donations to the town of Manchester, to be taken from his taxes. So he fires Crachet to help make up for the money he spent for Tiny Tim, the goose and turkey's he purchased for widows and orphans.A fortnight ago, Scrooge and his nephew Horatio are counting shillings and IOS (I owe Scrooge) notes. "You see this my dear nephew, you give them a shilling and they take a pound" Scrooge protests, adjusting his night cap. The long white cap is torn and smeared with coal dust. Scrooge fired his care taker Madame Boufont a month ago.Since then, plates, scraps of food, discarded papers lay unattended in his study. Horatio is 33 ears old and Scrooge is 79 now. Scrooge drinks his night time brandy. Yet Horatio recalls the time when Scrooge was happy. It had been one year and five days since he drank any spirits. "Horatio could you go out to the coat bin, and gather some for the stove and fire place tonight. And this time, please shut the metal fence surrounding the fire place. I have invented a filter from old book covers."Can Scrooge save Tim from becoming a member of the Black Caper Gang? Will Tim return home to his father Bob Crachet. Or will Scrooge fire Crachet again and return to his former miserly ways? Through the streets of 1876 Manchester England, Tim, and his new gang attempt to pull off capers. Will they survive and reform for Christmas? Or will the return of Woodrow Marley bring Scrooge to his senses?This small novella is a follow up tale from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol."
