  In this debut spooky adventure, Jerry and her trusty wheelchair move into a creepy motel at the edge of the woods where nothing is as it seems. When her mom disappears, it’s up to Jerry to brave the forest and its demons so she can save what’s left of her family. 
  Ever since her dad died, 11-year-old Jerry Blum and her mom have bounced around dead-end towns, staying in a series of rundown motels where her mother picks up housekeeping work and Jerry can get around in her wheelchair.  
  But the Slumbering Giant motel is different. Lights blink on and off in the surrounding trees, a mysterious radio station plays only at midnight, and people disappear into the woods, never to been seen again. Not to mention that Jerry’s mom keeps vanishing to do “special work” that she refuses to discuss. When her mother doesn’t come home one morning, Jerry springs into action. 
  Luckily, she’s not alone. Paul, a pocket-size imaginary dragon, and Chapel, a new friend with a penchant for the supernatural, join Jerry’s search for her missing mom. But along the way Jerry discovers her mother’s terrible secret: she’s not a housekeeper at all; in fact, she’s been defending the town from demons that have been haunting it for generations. 
  Armed with nothing but a Ren Faire sword and a backpack, Jerry and her friends venture into the forbidden woods to save Jerry’s mother. But the “demons” hiding there aren’t what they seem, and Jerry must unravel the truth behind the town’s legend, or risk losing what’s left of her family.

  The Meteor Girl - A Meteor Opens...

  The Meteor Girl is an early science fiction story by Jack Williamson, first published in 1931. It follows a young telegraph operator whose ordinary night shift is disrupted when a meteor crashes nearby — bringing with it something far stranger than stone. The encounter pulls him into a mystery that blends young love, cosmic possibility, and the unknown forces that move between worlds. Williamson uses simple, direct prose to create a sense of widening wonder as the familiar gives way to the extraordinary. 
  The story reflects the optimism and curiosity of early pulp-era SF. Rather than grim speculation, it leans toward discovery — the idea that the universe is full of secrets waiting to be stumbled over by unsuspecting people with open eyes. Like many early Williamson pieces, it treats science not as abstraction but as an adventure through which ordinary lives are suddenly changed. 
  Jack Williamson (1908–2006) was one of the longest-lived and most respected voices of American science fiction. Raised in rural New Mexico, he began selling stories to the pulps as a teenager and remained active well into the 21st century — his career spanning from the age of airships to the age of the internet. Williamson wrote across styles and decades, from space opera to thoughtful sociological SF, producing works like The Legion of Space, Darker Than You Think, and later the Hugo and Nebula-winning Terraforming Earth. 
  He bridged generations of the genre, studying it formally and teaching it at Eastern New Mexico University while still publishing fiction. Williamson’s work helped move science fiction from pulp entertainment to a literature of ideas, and The Meteor Girl stands as an early glimpse of the imagination that would make him a pillar of the field.
