Playground Vacancies, by: John A. Caldone

Where are these missing children?

We see their innocent faces on milk containers. When we open our mailboxes, we find circulars with pictures of children who were never found. There are countless Amber Alerts that rattle our fears. What are the possibilities of ever finding out who is behind this nightmare that we all fear may happen to us? Jack Diamond may have the clue to one of those possibilities.

While on a case, he accidentally stumbles on information that stirs his suspicions. Suspicions that lead him to believe that there is an evil syndicate behind an abduction ring that spreads along the East Coast of the country. Although this is a fictional story, it will definitely raise an eyebrow on the possibility of it being a reality.

The Report Card, by: Andrew Clements

True or False?

Fifth grader Nora Rose Rowley is really a genius.

True.

But don't tell anyone.

Nora always gets average grades so she can forgo the pressure-cooker gifted program or Brainiac Academy.

But when Nora gets one hundred percent fed up over testing and the fuss everyone makes about grades, she brings home a terrible report card just to prove a point.

Pretty soon her teachers, parents, and the principal are launching a massive effort to find out what's wrong. But can Nora convince them that tests alone are a stupid way to measure intelligence?
