Meet Zenon Kar, a futuristic fifth grader who lives in a space station high above Earth. She's the star of a brand-new chapter book series and a #1-rated Disney Channel movie. Pets aren't allowed on Zenon's space station, so she becomes caught up in a craze for a robotic dog called a Tobo. Tobo dogs talk, fly, and even do homework. Every kid on the space station is getting one, but Zenon's dad buys her a cheap knockoff instead -- a Bobo, which has no ears, no tail, and no vocabulary! But what Bobo lacks in brains, he makes up for in loyalty. And when the Tobo dogs go haywire, Zenon's Bobo dog bravely saves the day!

When two young giraffes, acquaintances but not good friends, join other animals entering Noah's ark, they're ready for an adventure. But they've never experienced rain or confinement before. Is this yearlong adventure more than they bargained for? Join Marilyn Schuler in another Animals of the Bible book as these two giraffes wonder if the world after the flood will be better in Giraffes on a Cruise.

These humorous stories about Zenon are all reality-based so kids can easily identify with her situations. In book #3, when an important Earth scientist visits Space Station 9, Zenon agrees to entertain his daughter, Teena. At first Zee’s job is easy. Teena seems polite and well behaved.
