school year and Oliver is looking forward to a seventh-grade year full of spitballs, jokes and pranks with his friend Nathan. And their new homeroom teacher, Mr. Aidact, looks like a prime target.

He also has a seemingly superhuman ability to detect and defuse almost every one of Oliver’s schemes.But that’s not all of it. Mr. Aidact seems to be teaching pretty much every subject. He’s willing to take over jobs no other teacher will, like supervising detention and coaching the field hockey team.

And when the secret leaks out, the school and the PTA are in an uproar, and calls for his “deactivation” are loud and clear.Can Oliver and his friends turn this plan around and save the teacher they’ve grown to love and appreciate?Blast Off!

As the highest-grossing drug dealer on Denver&’s south side, he&’s attracted the attention of the Denver Narcotics unit. When he realizes he&’s being tailed by a member of the DPD, instead of lying low till the heat dies down, he does what he always does: the exact opposite of what he should. Ryan Quinn is a newly minted member of the Denver Police Department&’s drug unit. Twelve years ago he lost his brother to drugs, and secretly riddled with guilt, he&’s fought obsessively to eradicate them ever since. He&’s puzzled when, after months of tailing low-level dope dealers, he&’s assigned to be the lead targeting the biggest drug ring in town. However unlikely, when the cop and the drug dealer meet, sparks fly, triggering a chain of events that forges an unlikely partnership that both men should, but neither man can resist. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as coincidence in this high-stakes game of cat and mouse, and when Ryan uncovers the real reason he&’s been assigned to Eden&’s case, a decade-old secret threatens their fragile relationship… and their lives.

He and his band of pirates are bound by vow to patrol through Threshold, the magical sea in between realms, keeping the portals to other worlds safe. When he rescues Evelyn, he doesn&’t expect to be attracted to the unflappably brassy pickpocket. The longer he spends in her presence, the more he begins to question if his heart is the next thing she&’ll steal.
