When twelve-year-old Dany goes out to sea with her fisherman dad, she expects it to be a normal fishing trip. After all, she's helped her dad on the boat loads of times, and this is meant to be a quick trip. But when a sea squall forms out of nowhere, Dany is suddenly knocked overboard, and even her life vest isn't enough to protect her. That's when Dany spots something in the water -- a gray doral fin heading straight for her! Mercifully, a young bottlenose dolphin has come to her rescue. As the dolphin carries Dany to shore, Dany feels a sense of comfort wash over her, as if the dolphin is telling her everything will be alright . . . until the dolphin finds itself stuck too far inland in a creek! To make matters worse, the weather is getting harsher, and a hurricane is on its way. Now it's up to Dany to return the dolphin's favor and get her back to sea. Will Dany be able to save her new friend before it's too late?

Old School

Korman, Gordon

"Dexter is twelve years old and lives at The Pines Retirement Village with his grandmother. He’s been home-schooled by the residents since he was six — until the day the truant officer shows up and announces that Dex has to go to the local public school. Dex does not fit in at middle school. He gets along better with senior citizens than he does kids his own age. He dresses like a grandpa and his taste in movies and music is decades out of date. Only a few students — like Gianna Greco, a reporter at the school’s newspaper looking for a bit story — want to talk to him. For most, he is a weirdo . . . or a target. Dexter would do anything to get out of middle school and go back to his old life at The Pines. But when his wish finally seems to be coming true, his old and new worlds collide in a way that surprises everyone — and Dexter most of all."-- Provided by publisher.

Their boyhood adventures led them throughout the many rooms of the castle, and into the deep woods beyond. The woods that were home to the legendary Beast of Gévaudan, a terrifying creature whose presence loomed larger than life in their imaginations. Then one fateful night, a violent tragedy changed their lives--and their friendship--forever, setting each of them down a very different path: the first, of greed and entitlement, the second, of determination to right the wrongs of the past. The prince, as we know, paid a price for his wicked ways. And Gaston, fueled by the magic of three meddling witches, grew ever more haunted by a singular mission: to become the hero who killed the Beast.
