Ayla and the Late Trevor James Goodkind
By Diane Castle
Trevor James Goodkind has spent his entire life being groomed as a scion of the Goodkind empire. He has devoted his life to Goodkind ideals: responsibility, respect, and protecting the world from mutants. Now he's about to meet the enemy.. and it's him. But turning into a mutant is only his first catastrophe. No one ever said anything about having to wear a bra!
Ayla and the Blackmailer
By Diane Castle
Ayla's at Whateley, doing all the things that kids always do at the start of school. Struggling to get a good class schedule. Ugh. Walking into the girls' shower room. Wow. Getting extortion notes. Uh-oh. Fighting super-powered ninjas? Yikes!The Turks of Geek
by Diane Castle
Combat finals are over, and it's time to think about traditional December activities. Like figuring out who attacked Fey and Generator.. and then addressing that in traditional Team Kimba style.
Ayla #3: “Ayla and the New School”
by Diane Castle
Picking up where the last chapter left off
Ayla and the Tests
by Diane Castle
In the classical epic, the hero must face seemingly-impossible tests and yet emerge victorious. But what if you're not a hero, you're just a fourteen-year-old kid? In those books, no one had to go through powers testing, or do detention at Hawthorne, or survive a whole term at Whateley...

Never Look a Gift Squirrel in the Mouth
A Whateley Vignette
By Diane Castle
Fey. Slab. Lancer. Tennyo. Powers like theirs are unstoppable forces that make the Combat Finals a week of amazement and excitement. But what do you do if you're nothing but a campus joke? What *can* you do, if all you have is the spirit of the squirrel?
Ayla 5: Ayla and the Network
By Diane Castle
Ayla moves forward in her plans to build her own intelligence network. And what could go wrong? Other than those people following her, and her teammates getting suspicious of her actions, and... Oh yeah, there is that little problem with every other group at Whateley that doesn't want Phase horning in on THEIR intelligence network.
Ayla and the Grinch (A Christmas Story)
By Diane Castle
Christmas time. A time for friends and family. A time to relax and just enjoy a festive holiday season...
Oh, who are we kidding? This is the Whateley Universe, after all!
What should have been a simple holiday trip home for Ayla becomes something much darker and more disturbing. I mean, what could be more disturbing than a bikini wax from your sister?
Stress Fracture
By Diane Castle
Not everyone at Whateley Academy is ready for Combat Finals. Plenty of students are hardly ready for life at Whateley. If only Fractious could overcome her one tiny problem.. well, little problem.. well, medium problem.. well, big problem... Okay already! It's a huge problem! Are you happy now?
Ayla and the Great Shoulder Angel Conspiracy
By Diane Castle (with help from the rest of the Canon Demons & Angels)
It's so good to be back at school after that awful holiday. Now there's nothing but peace and relaxation... What? Our schedules for Winter Term need to be re-done? Okay. Classes are seven-week special seminars? Fine. And Jade's up to something? AAAAAGGHHH!!

Straight from the Squirrel’s Mouth
By Diane Castle
Everyone talks about Team Kimba, and all the other super-cool kids at Whateley. But what if you’re not one of the cool kids? What if you’re just a kid who got lucky in her Combat Final? So, what happens after your Combat Final? And what if you’re not going home for Christmas either? Aquerna has a ton of problems, but she’s sure they’re not anything anyone would want to read about…

Ayla and the Birthday Brawl
by Diane Castle

A View to a Smell
By Diane Castle
Fall combat finals. The action... The adventure.... The... really awful stink???
Test Tube Babies
By Diane Castle
In their Team Tactics class, Team Kimba has seen the pop quiz, the trial of death traps, and the test nobody wins. Now they have something even worse than that. Grades.
Combat Boot
By Diane Castle
It's time for Phase's fall term combat final. And what kind of opponent can strike fear into the heart of Ayla Goodkind? The kind of opponent who has week-old fast food goop down his shirt front.
