Sinopsis

"The devil flew up to the moon, reached out and tried to grab it, but must have burned his fingers, for he hopped on one leg, sucking on his hand. He walked around it and tried again from the other side, and again jumped back. But the sly one didn't give up: he suddenly grabbed the moon with both hands and, juggling it like a hot pancake, stuffed it in his pocket, and flew off as though nothing had happened. In our village of Dikanka, no one noticed the theft. True, when the district scribe crawled out of the tavern on all fours he thought he saw the moon dancing in the sky, but who would believe him?"
And in the and of the story, good wins in the most unexpected way..

Shell Game

Ridley Pearson

As the five Kingdom Keepers enter high school, everything is about to change. The Maintenance Base that controls all four parks in Disney World is under attack by the Overtakers, a group determined to change Disney forever. Relationships between the Keepers are no longer as simple as they once were. In fact, nothing is as simple as it once was. An after-hours visit to Typhoon Lagoon is a game changer. The Keepers lose one of their most valuable supporters. But there's work to do . . . The Disney Dream leaves Port Canaveral on an historic cruise to Los Angeles with a special treat in store for guests: the Disney Host Interactive guides are on board. Finn, Maybeck, Charlene, Willa, and Philby join guests as the DHI experience moves to one of the most advanced cruise ships in the world. But all is not right below decks. Strange things are happening. Only the Kingdom Keepers know the truth behind their invitation to be in attendance: nearly every Disney villain is aboard the ship, including Maleficent. The Overtakers have infiltrated the cast and crew. And no oneknows what they have planned. The Dream sets sail filled with enthusiastic guests and crew. But not for long. Maleficent takes over a video screen and warns the guests of trouble to come. With the ship arriving to the beaches of Castaway Cay--its first of many exotic ports of call--the Kingdom Keepers are under attack; back home the Base is threatened and about to fall. The Overtakers have expanded in ways never foreseen, and it's clear they intend to use this element of surprise to accomplish what has eluded them so far: victory. But not if Finn Whitman and friends have anything to say about it.

Rovi - English - The Ember Eyed...

Ellis Sandlin

Rovi is a healthy Bengal Tiger living and hunting in a jungle in India. When chasing an animal for his dinner, he discovered a different world outside his territory- a small village with a mission church and orphanage. The sight of people and the smell of food cooking made him curious. The residents were frightened when they saw Rovi raise his head and roar at the unusual sight. A shot by a villager grazed Rovi's back. 
Rovi became very angry and decided to return the next evening to get revenge. The madder he got, the brighter his eyes shined until they became bright as coals of fire. 
On the path, his attention was drawn to a happy sound in the sky. Santa Claus was happy to see Rovi's eyes and asked him to guide him through the jungle. Anger left him and he was happy to run to the village. 
Santa introduced him to the villagers who welcomed him. His life changed when he became friends with Manbir, a young orphan boy, and they heard the story of the first Christmas from the missionary. 
As Rovi left the village, he roared and the villagers understood that he said, "Think Love!" 
In Rovi's next book, Rovi and Manbir have Christmas dinner with the village and share fun times.
