Dead Man's Planet - A Ghostly...

Russ Winterbotham

Dead Man's Planet by Russ Winterbotham - For unmarked ages a dead man kept his ghostly vigil on that barren, frozen asteroid.
"A life-saver!" Mick said, bringing the space freighter down with a gentle bump on the huge, shapeless mass of rock and iron that floated between Mars and Jupiter.
The term huge was purely relative, for the asteroid was scarcely ten miles in diameter at its thickest point, and its axis could not have been more than twelve miles long.
Mick switched off the rockets, opened a locker and pulled forth a suit of heavy, furlined, airtight garments which he slipped over his uniform.
The communication speaker buzzed.
"Hey, Mick! Are you still on the bridge?"
Alf Rankin was calling from the charting room.
"Yes, Alf. What's the trouble." Mick Conner was sealing his space suit.
"This isn't an ordinary asteroid, Mick. It isn't barren. There's stuff growing on it."
"That's nothing to get goggle-eyed about, Alf. There's moss on Eros which is smaller than this. And there are 142 different kinds of plants and one intermediate—animal-vegetable—organism on Juno."
"Hm-m!"
Of course this was a surprise to Alf, who had never made a landing on the asteroids before. Science had rather neglected the asteroids during the rapid development of interplanetary flight, yet there were many interesting sights to be seen on the 4,000 minor planets that floated between Jupiter and Mars.
"Get on your space togs and oxygen helmet and we'll fix that broken jet," Mick said. "We'll be ready to go in three hours."
Mick sealed his helmet and stepped into the automatic lock leading from the control bridge to the roof of the streamlined rocket.

Maddie Ziegler

After a successful first competition, twelve-year-old Harper is eager to keep on making her mark in Dance Starz. But lately, she's having a bit of "dancer's block." In her one-on-one with her teacher, Harper is reminded that dancing isn't just about the spins and leaps; it's about the emotion and passion for dancing, too. And lately, she hasn't felt that Harper has been living up to her usual standards. Vanessa will be choosing the first soloist to compete at the next competition for the team, and suggests to Harper that she find a way to figure out how to get that mojo back. 
 
 
 
Thanks to a chance conversation, Harper joins the school musical. Not only is this an opportunity to polish up her stage presence, but as the newbie at school, Harper is excited to make some more friends. 
 
 
 
But some of the teammates are not thrilled that Harper is doing something besides the dance team. Plus, their biggest rivals, the Belles, are looking to go toe-to-toe with them in the upcoming competition—and both teams have something to prove. Harper realizes that the musical, dance team, and school might be a little much. Can she figure out how to find her balance—on-stage and off?

What Fans Say:

"A beloved series is hard to find, but this author has most definitely written one that should be granted a prominent place on every bookshlf around the globe."

"This series is one of the best I've read in quite some time. I can hardly wait until the next book is published. The story line is amazing and keeps you entertained throughout the book. This is a great twist on old classics."

"A brilliantly written story, easily ready for the TV or movie screen! As good as Game of Thrones, but written for a younger audience, this book will pick you up on its very first page, wrap you in its arms, and carry you all the way to the end."
