dogs... It was the age of invention... It was the season of
surprise... It was the eve of supa sadness... It was the dawn of
hope... Dog Man hasn't always been a paws-itive addition to the
police force. While he can muzzle miscreants, he tends to leave a
slick of slobber in his wake! This time, Petey the cat's dragged in
a tiny bit of trouble -- a double in the form of a super-cute
kitten. Dog Man will have to work twice as hard to bust these
furballs and remain top dog! Dav Pilkey's wildly popular Dog Man

Then a messenger from the skies shows her a vision of a bleak
and violent future, a future in which Branwen has abandoned her
destiny, and those most dear to her suffer unspeakable horrors.
There's a blurry line between good and evil, and those Branwen
trusts the most are capable of the greatest betrayal. The Shining
Ones have spoken. Will Branwen answer their call?

Can you fall in love with someone you've never met, never even spoken to – someone who is light years away?
Romy Silvers is the only surviving crew-member of a spaceship travelling to a new planet, on a mission to establish a second home for humanity. Alone in space, she is the loneliest girl in the universe until she hears about a new ship which has launched from Earth – with a single passenger on board. A boy called J.
Their only communication is via email – and due to the distance between them, their messages take months to transmit. And yet Romy finds herself falling in love.
But what does Romy really know about J? And what do the mysterious messages which have started arriving from Earth really mean? Sometimes, there's something worse than being alone...

and survive? For fans of Circe, Ariadne and The Silence of the
Girls. Perfectly plotted Greek Mythology and Astrology makes this
