“Mr. Muffins, Buzz!, The Littlest Fighter, and Hey, Mary! are four delightfully action-packed adventures about overcoming adversity and receiving the encouragement of others to forge a path of unexpected bravery and growth,” said Sierra Hahn, editor-in-chief. “These are tales that, at their very core, are about self-discovery in ever-changing and endlessly exciting worlds!”

An uplifting, action-packed story about the powerful connection between humans and their pets, complete with epic space battles, and asks the age-old question: Can a corgi save the galaxy?
Eleven-year-old Reuben Mahmoud just wants a break. When he takes his pet corgi, Mr. Muffins, to the park, he expects to get just that—some free time to relax with his best friend. Instead, he finds himself smack dab in the middle of an alien invasion and apparently Mr. Muffins is destined to save the galaxy!
