Xuanzang and his disciples were alerted by a red cloud shooting up to the sky from a hollow while they were passing a tall mountain. When the red cloud cleared, a demon, Red Boy, disguised himself as a seven-year-old child tied to a tree. Xuanzang compassionately untied the child and got kidnapped by a sudden gust of wind. The monkey was informed by the land and mountain deities that the demon was the son of Bull Demon King. He and Pigsy rushed to fight Red Boy but were almost killed by his fire. The monkey transformed into the Bull Demon King but was debunked by Red Boy. In the end, Guanyin subdued Red Boy with a lotus pedestal made of swords. The monkey rescued his master, and the team resumed itsjourney.Voir livre
A feel-good dog story. "I tried to be good, but I got bored." "So, what if I grew up behind bars? It's not about where you start; it's all about the journey. Mine took me to Kandahar, where a sea of mines lies in wait under the hot Afghan desert. There, every car could be a bomb; every human your killer. The only thing standing between you and death is me, K-9 Lovely, scouring the desert to detect whatever hungers to kill you. I have the best nose in the business and the guts to match it."Voir livre

Meghan McGlinchey is the most superstitious girl in her family—and probably in the entire state of Delaware. When she receives a chain letter from a stranger in Ireland, Meghan immediately passes it on, taking only a tiny shortcut in the directions. But after a disastrous day, made complete by losing the election for class president and embarrassing herself in front of the entire school, Meghan realizes that tiny shortcut was a big mistake. Thankfully, her family was already headed to Ireland on spring break, and Meghan makes it her mission to find the original sender and break her extremely unlucky streak. With the help of an eccentric cast of characters—and one very cute Irish boy—can Meghan figure out a way to stop her bad luck? Or is she cursed forever?Voir livre
