The worst hurricane in American history is headed for Maggie's
Texas home... Maggie McKenna loves the sea, as well as swimming in
the gulf and walking the seashore with her father. Sharing him with
her unborn sibling and Felipe, a hired orphan, seems an impossible
task. When Papa takes Mama to Houston to see the doctor, Maggie is
left behind. Soon she is facing the battle of her life when one of
the most powerful hurricanes of the century ravages Galveston,
destroying homes and lives in a powerful and violent flood. Her
only chance at surviving is to join forces with Felipe as they try
to ride out the storm together.
A leopard is loose on Papa's land... H.J. Harper would do anything
for his older sister, Jessie. But what can he do, when she wants to
become a veterinarian and their father won't send her to college?
Jessie is trapped, just like the leopard H.J. saw in the Oklahoma
City Zoo. Then the leopard escapes. As it slowly makes its way
toward the Harper fields, H.J. comes up with an idea to save the
leopard and help Jessie fulfill her dream. But will it work? "Myers
has created another bittersweet tale that celebrates average people
and the courage they muster to follow their hearts." - Kirkus

Everyone in Gail's small town believes her father is dead when his
plane is shot down in World War II. Everyone, that is, but Gail's
mother, who has faith that he's still alive. Gail's Uncle Ned has
lost his faith after being blinded in the war. Though Gail promised
her father to watch out for her uncle, his bitterness over his loss
pushes her away. It seems only Captain, Gail's golden retriever,
can break through Ned's shell. As Gail and Captain try to save Ned
from destroying himself, Gail can't help wondering if she'll ever
hear from her father again.
