  A heartwarming—and heart-tugging—middle grade novel about love, loyalty, and what it means to be part of a family—from author Carolyn Crimi,. Perfect for fans of A Dog’s Life and Because of Winn-Dixie.  
  Miss Lottie’s home was for second chances.  
  When she adopted Gus, Roo, Tank, and Moon Pie, Miss Lottie rescued each member of the pack—including herself, her helper, Quinn, and her reclusive cat, Ghost—and turned them into a family. But when a new dog, Decker, arrives and tries to hoard Miss Lottie’s heart and home for himself, the pack’s future is threatened.  
  At first, Gus, the insecure pack leader, only notices little things, like tiny Moon Pie being kicked out of the bed and Ghost acting spooked (then again…Ghost is a cat). But things soon go from bad to worse as Decker’s presence causes disharmony in the group.  
  When Decker convinces Moon Pie to embark on an impossible journey, it’s up to Gus to gather his courage, rally his splintered pack, and bring the little dog home. And with coyotes and cars on the loose, the pack must push through obstacles and dangers to reunite with Moon Pie before he can get hurt—or, nearly as bad, get his heart broken.

  The Portable Star by Isaac Asimov - Holden made love to his friends wife. Because he couldn’t help it. 
  If space voyages are "romantic", Holden Brooks was certainly carrying on the tradition when he stepped into the cabin of his best friend's wife, with one straightforward objective in mind. 
  He did not signal. He merely opened the door and walked in. She was waiting for him as, somehow, he had known she would be, wearing a loose garment. She held out her arms to him and they trembled slightly. Her dark hair fell below her shoulders, accenting the pale roundness of her face.

  Xuanzang was caught by the Yellow Brows Demon who impersonated the Buddha. The monkey was trapped inside the demon's golden cymbals. The monkey asked the deities to open the golden cymbals from the outside but to no avail. Only by letting the monkey drill into his horn after wedging it in between the cymbals did the Dragon Star save the monkey. The demon woke up and captured everyone with his cummerbund. The monkey escaped alone and invited various divine forces to help him apprehend the demon, but the demon used the cummerbund to trap all the reinforcements. The monkey was depressed. Maitreya came and asked the monkey to lure the demon out and turn into a big watermelon. The demon was duped into eating it and Maitreya finally subdued him and rescued the deities. The demon turned out to be Maitreya's escaped servant. They went back to the Land of Ultimate Bliss on the Western Continent and the pilgrims continued their journey.
