    Summary

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

    Summary

    “You will be remembered as a hero.”
    Eva Stratt was right. She was right about a lot of things. But she never predicted how much Ryland Grace would haunt her once everything was said and done.

    Or: Stratt, the color yellow, and the warmth that Grace left behind.

    Summary

    That is how it starts. 

    My pebbles are all good kids and a tight knit group. There are rarely fights or tensions and I can honestly say that they are all friends.

    But Sam, showing all of them up with a gift that made Teacher Grace smile softly with tears in his eyes? 

    That means war.

    **************

    A lucky find leads to lots of gifts for Teacher Grace from his precious pebbles

    Summary

    When Eva Stratt was ten years old, she conducted her first research project. Her teacher instructed the class to create a poster board about space and present it to their peers. They spent the rest of the day in the school library, checking out books on the planetary system, the moon landing, and black holes. It was in that room, perusing the shelves of thin, applesauce-smeared paperbacks, that she learned about Laika.

    Laika was a small stray dog recovered from the streets of Moscow, and was the first animal to orbit the Earth in 1957. She did not survive the trip, but her sacrifice was a major contribution to science and space exploration.
