  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.

  Cassie King's father told her the universe was on her side, although lately it doesn't really feel like that's true. 
   
   
   
  The only thing Cassie enjoys is the volunteer work she does at her local library with her classmate and kind-of friend Joe. After a very intense storm, they discover an abandoned kitten. Figuring the kitten needs a friend just as much as she does, Cassie names him Albert and takes him home with her. 
   
   
   
  Soon Cassie begins to notice that Albert is acting . . . strange. He seems to have impossible strength. Cassie swears she sees plumes of smoke rising from his water bowl. And one day, while Albert is in the room, a unique symbol appears on Cassie's closet door. 
   
   
   
  After a bit more investigating, it turns out that the symbol isn't so random, and neither was that weird storm that occurred when they first found Albert outside. Albert is not really a cat at all, and he has links to a historic and incredibly strong dragon world, a world that once had an alliance with the human one. But a breach in this usually well-oiled machine has put everyone—including Cassie and Joe—in grave danger. And their biggest enemy is closer than they ever imagined.

  they were before everything went wrong.

  Abigail have become Ruby’s friends—and she realizes there is more to their stories than everyone knows.

  can happen when we’re brave enough to break free.
