When Earth receives a distress signal from outer space, the UNISS Astronima is sent to investigate. Several hundred years into the mission, an ice storm smashes into the ship causing the adult crew to lose their life support systems. The onboard computer, R. I. A. N. 7 - Robotic Intelligence Artificial Network, Module 7, is forced to wake and train the cloned crew to complete the mission. Thirteen-year-old Ryla 9 is the new Captain, who leads her crew of other teens through the dangers of "first contact" of an alien life form, but that's just the beginning of their perils. As the young crew nears the planet they were sent to help they encounter dangers and wonders they could not have imagined, including not knowing who or what is on their side, and who is their real enemy.

Riding on a meteor, a blob of black goo from the planet Decay crash lands on an unsuspecting earth only to find the secret ancient burial cave of all dragons. The slimy glob clones itself into a hideous black dragon and calls himself Dragor. Holly Johnson, Beginner Magician, and Fangor, her dragon friend, are once again called upon to save Fairyland, this time from the evil monster determined to take over the world for his own kind. Much larger, stronger, and with a breath of flame called blackfire, Dragor sets out destroying villages and eventually threatens Holly's hometown, Bicuspid on the Root Canal, itself. Holly, with her talking toy bear, Taddy Boy, has to use all the power given to her by King Molar of the fairies, the help of the newborn dragons, and the Guardian of Dragons to try and stop the wicked alien... but will it be enough?

When Santa and his famous team of reindeer fail to return to the North Pole after his Christmas Eve delivery of toys around the world, Mrs. Claus fears the worst. What could have happened to keep Santa from his favourite chair by the fire on Christmas day? Desperate, Mrs. Claus chooses Olive, an inexperienced prankster of a reindeer, to launch out into the howling winds and frozen wasteland of the Arctic in search of the lost team and their beloved Santa Claus. Soon an injured snowy owl, named Chloe, joins Olive to help the directionally-challenged young reindeer trace Santa's route through the north. Together the two race off on their hilarious and dangerous adventure, facing blinding storms, unrepentant ghosts, and the never-ending pursuit by White Storm, the wolf pack leader, and his Howling Dozen. As she presses on through ice, snow, and bitter cold, little Olive, the other reindeer, has no idea what perils await her and Chloe, or if she will ever find Santa and his faithful team.
