  2024 Winner Gold Moonbeam Award: Best Chapter Book Series  It was fourth and goal…  Jacoby Howard was the star quarterback, and I was the middle linebacker who was going to stop him from scoring. I glanced up at the scoreboard; it read :03; 21-17. Jacoby had to go through me to win the game. My teeth clenched as I crouched, ready to surge forward.  As soon as the center moved the ball, I blitzed. I stayed low and dropped my shoulder pads just in time to meet Jacoby at the goal line. We connected with a loud thud on impact.  Time stood still. Everything came down to this play. Two superstars, undefeated teams, and a developing rivalry go head-to-head in the last game of the season. Who will bring home the bragging rights?

  Never Trust A Thief!

  Never Trust A Thief! by Robert Silverberg - Kiley felt all-powerful with the alien guiding him in the looting of a world. Now the whole galaxy was his if he could remember to—Never Trust A Thief! 
  Kiley took one last, fond look at the glittering heap of jewels in the back of the spaceship, nodded happily to himself, and began to set up a blastoff orbit. Somewhere down on the field far below, he could see dot-like figures—spaceport attendants, all firmly convinced that this was an authorized flight. 
  He chuckled. This is the right way to pull a job, he thought contentedly. Hypnotize 'em silly and then walk in and take what you want. 
  His fingers skipped lightly over the control panel as he readied the ship for blastoff. For the first time in his life he felt truly happy. Two million stellors of rare gems in the back of the ship, and even after cutting Thaklaru in for his share, that still left a million. A million stellors! Lord, that sounded good! 
  Well, Kiley, are you going to spend all day dreaming? I'm waiting for you! 
  The rolling thunder of Thaklaru's voice in Kiley's mind jolted him back to reality. "I'm on my way," he said out loud, knowing that the alien was listening. "I've got the stuff, and I'll be there before you know it." 
  Good. I'm anxious to see those jewels. 
  "Don't worry about it, Thaklaru."

  This sleep story is inspired by Ukrainian painter Maria Primachenko's "Autumn is riding on a horseback".. Our hero in this story is called Maria Prymachenko. She was born in 1908 in the village of Bolotyna, in Ukraine. Her father was a carpenter who made beautiful things. Her mother and grandmother were also talented at making things that were wonderful to look at, and they taught Maria embroidery and how to hand-paint Easter eggs. With so much art and beauty at home, it is perhaps no wonder that Maria, from a very early age, began painting and creating art.
