Read the novel excerpt.

Superhero 101: A Dog's Day

Trace was still thinking about the conversation with his grandmother when he stopped so abruptly that Liam literally collided with him. “Hey, what gives?” Liam asked. “You were this close to wearing my ice cream in your hair. Why’d you stop?”

Tia and Blade had continued walking, but now they were headed back toward their friends to find out why they had stopped. Blade immediately noticed Trace’s countenance and followed his gaze. She was the most intuitive and observant of the group. Suddenly, she gasped.

“What is wrong with you two?” Liam, who was more interested in saving his ice cream than saving the world, asked before they had a chance to explain.

Trace spoke in hushed tones, “Look, over there. It’s Casper. He’s supposed to be in prison. What is he doing at the pet store?”

Liam and Tia looked toward the pet store as the four friends dodged into an alleyway, trying not to look too conspicuous. Casper was obviously in disguise himself with his dyed brown hair and beard. The last thing the group needed was for Casper to realize that he had been spotted by his nemesis. The last time he and Trace had met, Trace and his friends had thwarted Casper's plot to create a deadly toxin designed to help him take over the world. That was three months ago, and now it looked like he had somehow escaped from prison and was up to something equally menacing and ominous.

Casper was leaving the pet store and getting into a car, so the friends hurried to their car. They followed him to an abandoned pet-food manufacturing plant at the edge of town. Once Casper ducked inside, the four friends did the same but were soon confronted by an angry pack of dogs. Trace motioned for his friends to come close to him as he created a shield around them. He remembered the time when Tia had used her superpower to make the group invisible. They had been running from Casper and his henchmen. “Tia, make us invisible!” Trace shouted.

However, the friends’ scent wasn’t invisible, and the dogs could not be deterred. The dogs followed the friends as they made their way to where Casper appeared to be manufacturing something that smelled awful.

Pain By Natasha Hernandez

Pain gains like a train.
It takes so long to stop.
And it gains and gains on you like a train.
And you are too afraid to yell for help because you won’t be heard.
Because when you talk no one listens.
When you are in a room full of people you feel alone.
You scream for help but you will never make it out of that deep dark place.
The bluebird in your soul turned black like a crow and ate all of the flowers in your heart.
And stopped singing the beautiful song now all you hear are those voices in your head.
You pray for the end but it will never come.
Soon the pain runs you over it didn’t take your life but it took your voice and your love for the world.
You decide not to talk or enjoy life because it always lets you down.
You decide not to have feelings because you feel your feelings are what's causing you pain.
In that deep dark place, there is no door to escape.
You cant get help because the train took your voice.
All you can do is pray for the end because your pain gains and gains on you like a train.

The Earth's crust is made of rock, which is composed of minerals. Minerals are solid, naturally occurring non-living materials that have a structure of crystals. There are hundreds of different kinds of minerals, but about 90% of the ones on Earth are silicates. Silicate minerals include oxygen and silicon along with some other combination of elements like iron, aluminum or potassium. Since each mineral is made of different elements, each has a unique set of properties. For example, diamonds are very hard, iron is strong and halite (salt) tastes good on food.

A They always include oxygen and silicon.
