Tune in for:

• Vega's Piece of the Sky by JENNIFER TORRES. When a space rock crashes into Vega's yard, she realizes that, if she can find more, she can sell them and use the money to pay for her grandpa's medical expenses, rather than selling the family store. With her ragtag team searching the desert, they battle floods, coyotes, and scorpions to find what they hope will be the answer to their troubles.
  
  
• Dinner at the Brake Fast by RENEE BEAUREGARD LUTE. Tacoma loves working at her family’s roadside diner, and can't wait to finally prepare the best dinner ever for her dad tonight. Except today is one of Dad’s bad days, and their worst customer, Crocodile Kyle, just let slip that he's the reason Dad's prized photograph went missing from the wall. Can Tacoma retrieve the photo and cheer up her dad before Crocodile Kyle hits the road again?
  
  
• Breaking Into Sunlight by JOHN COCHRAN. Reese is a regular seventh-grader, but after his dad overdoses, again, his mom moves out and takes him with her. They move to a rundown trailer until his dad gets help with his addition. Reese struggles mightily, but then he meets other kids in similar situations, and realizes he's not alone. 
  
  
• Crushed by MELANIE CONKLIN. Sophie would rather do school virtually, but instead she's attending in person to be with her best friend, Eve, who just got back from an extended absence, which only Sophie knows the truth about. But when Eve starts acting strangely and ditching Sophie for new friends, Sophie decides to get to the bottom of it, before things get even worse.
