Escaping Peril, is the eighth in the Wings of Fire books by Tui T. Sutherland. Another exciting installment in this grand adventure, there are curious new developments dealing with talents long thought to be lost, and life changing decisions affecting one dragonet in particular. (Can't say too much here, I promised no spoilers)! I love the themes of friendship and loyalty ... and sadness too, such as feeling like you don't belong ... wonderful character interaction here.

Traitorous Toys is the second in Mildred Abbott's Cozy Corgi Mystery series. Christmas is coming and Fred (short for Winifred) is looking forward to getting her bookstore up and running by the new year. That all comes to a halt when she and her new friend find a body in the toy store. He seemed like such a nice guy, why would anyone want him dead? There's an interesting method of death this time.
