When 12-year-old Mina discovers an abandoned kitten, Nukka, in the outskirts of Fairbanks, Alaska, she knows she has to take it in. And with the help of Mina's huskies, Nukka quickly becomes part of the family.

There's only one problem (or is it?): Nukka is a cat, and with only a pack of huskies to raise her, she develops some... interesting characteristics. Nukka learns to pant like a dog, play fetch like a dog, and even wants to become a sled dog, just like her canine siblings. But they're so much bigger and stronger than she is. How could Nukka ever keep up?

But things take a turn for the worse when the pack is stranded in a forest during a rescue mission. With a blizzard on its way, will Nukka be able to save her family before it's too late?

When a dolphin is stranded and trapped in a creek, it's up to a young girl to save the dolphin and get her back to sea -- before a looming hurricane strikes!

When twelve-year-old Dany goes out to sea with her fisherman dad, she expects it to be a normal fishing trip. After all, she's helped her dad on the boat loads of times, and this is meant to be a quick trip. But when a sea squall forms out of nowhere, Dany is suddenly knocked overboard, and even her life vest isn't enough to protect her.

That's when Dany spots something in the water -- a gray doral fin heading straight for her! Mercifully, a young bottlenose dolphin has come to her rescue. As the dolphin carries Dany to shore, Dany feels a sense of comfort wash over her, as if the dolphin is telling her everything will be alright . . . until the dolphin finds itself stuck too far inland in a creek!

To make matters worse, the weather is getting harsher, and a hurricane is on its way. Now it's up to Dany to return the dolphin's favor and get her back to sea. Will Dany be able to save her new friend before it's too late?
