Dear Blue Sky

When a dog can't find anyone to play ball with him, the dog begins a silly one-sided game of fetch and then at naptime, dreams of the fantastic adventures he could have with his ball.

It is impossible not to root for Ceti, almost fifteen, who tells her story of growing up in shelters, learning soccer from her Gramps, and sleeping in her Mom's red truck where they listened over and over to Rolling Stones discs someone left behind. Following in the steps of her hero, Lionel Messi, Ceti is a shooting star on the field. A U.S. scout is coming to watch her play in the State Championship; she has Ruby, her best friend since kindergarten rooting for her, and a crush on a boy who lives in her building, Will. But at home, she'll find a spoon in the sink, a ball of tin foil and a needle in the trash. Her Mom, who used to be beautiful with her long honey hair and green eyes is now wasted and track-marked. And she is pregnant. Ceti's life goes up and down with a mother who wants only the next high. Her Mom's menacing and goofy boyfriend Foxface is always hounding Ceti; their junky friends start a fire in Ceti's apartment; and on the day of the semifinals, Ceti finds her Mom bleeding profusely. She steals a new iPhone for her Mom but is caught and disqualified from playing in the Championship game. Then Ruby decides on private school for next year, and Will stops hanging out with Ceti. When her Mom promises they can start over in New Hampshire, Ceti is hopeful. Instead, she finds her Mom has overdosed. Ceti, too, would be one more dream slipping away if she didn't have the courage to hold on to what she loves the most.

After his best little-girl pal leaves for school, this dog hits up yoga mom, baby, and even the angry cat for a quick throw. No luck.

The pictures speak a thousand words in this comic book-style ode to canine monomania. Ball? Ball.

Like its predecessors Ball, Treat, and Frankie, Nobody’s Duck has humor and heart in spades (and quacks).

Liz Talley

His Brown–Eyed Girl by Liz Talley Lucas Finlay is used to calling the shots. But looking after his niece and nephews in New Orleans, he's entirely out of his league. Luckily help is next door. With almost no effort Addy Toussant manages to make order from the kid chaos. Lucas is beyond grateful...he's also very attracted to her, and images of an adults–only play date are soon dancing in his head. Yet something in Addy's golden–brown eyes tells Lucas not to rush her. It seems that if this romance is to go anywhere, he needs to let her take the lead... Because Of Audrey by Mary Sullivan Audrey Stone and her floral shop are thorns in Gray Turner's side! He's in Accord, Colorado, trying to focus on wrapping up his family's business affairs. Instead, thoughts of Audrey and her old–Hollywood beauty keep filling his head. Why? They were never friends in high school. Yet no matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay away. Even more perplexing than the attraction, is the sense Gray has that she knows something about his past – perhaps something he doesn't know. At first he's convinced she's in the way of his plans. But now he suspects she might be the answer to his future!
