  "A dragon darkens our dells. A witch haunts our woods. Bandits roam our moors" . . . King Stromgard swept on. "In the tradition of so many monarchs, I offer my daughter's hand in marriage and half my kingdom to the prince who can rid us of these evils, restoring peace and prosperity to our realm."And so the contest in the Kingdom of Greeve begins. But Princess Margaret is not your traditional princess. Meg firmly objects to her parents' giving her away, and she certainly has no intention of remaining in the tower where she is sequestered. Instead, she sets out to win the contest herself by enlisting the help of her good friend, her loyal maid, an eager guardsman, a young wizard, and a tenacious witch. Does Meg find her distinct place in the kingdom, or is she doomed to fulfill her royal duties?Kate Coombs weaves a magical tale full of pesky princes, enchanted frogs, a beady-eyed scarf, and invisibility juice – a tale of wonder, but a story familiar to all who struggle to find their own place in the world.The Runaway Princess is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

  Warning From the Stars by Ron Cocking - Don't believe in flying saucers? Neither do we, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there can be no other way for Earth to get its last.... Warning From the Stars 
  It was a beautifully machined container, shaped like a two pound chocolate candy box, the color and texture of lead. The cover fitted so accurately that it was difficult to see where it met the lip on the base. 
  Yet when Forster lifted the container from the desk in the security guards' office, he almost hit himself in the face with it, so light was it. 
  He read the words clumsily etched by hand into the top surface with some sharp instrument: 
  TO BE OPENED ONLY BY: 
  Dr. Richard Forster, 
  Assistant Director, 
  Air Force Special Research Center, 
  Petersport, Md. 
  CAUTION: Open not later than 
  24 hours after receipt. 
  DO NOT OPEN in atmosphere less than equivalent of 65,000 feet above M.S.L. 
  He turned the container over and over. It bore no other markings—no express label or stamps, no file or reference number, no return address. 
  It was superbly machined, he saw. 
  Tentatively he pulled at the container cover, it was as firm as if it had been welded on. But then, if the cover had been closed in the thin atmosphere of 65,000 feet, it would be held on by the terrific pressure of a column of air twelve miles high. 
  Forster looked up at the burly guard. 
  "Who left this here?" 
  "Your guess is as good as mine, sir." The man's voice was as close to insolence as the difference in status would allow, and Forster bristled.
