    About this ebook

    Adventure, mystery, and fun...a tale of kids fighting bad guys on a frontier planet!

    Cal loves his life on the farming planet of Iridescent. Between jetpack practice, his best friend Fire, and his scary but awesome fifth grade teacher, Miss Madeline, Cal's life seems just about perfect.

    But danger lurks just under the surface of daily life. Cal and his friends must battle the threat of space pirates and a mysterious blight in order to save their world.

    Warning: in this book, you’ll find a disturbing food fight, wicked jetpack flying, and a dangerous world of wonder. And you’ll also get to know kids — Cal, Fire, and Earther — who band together to stand up and do the right thing. Even if it gets them kicked off the planet...

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      Sep 6, 2022

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.
