In "Young Guerilla Girl Fighter," a teenage girl’s life takes a desperate turn when she joins the resistance against the Nazis in the Soviet Union, driven by survival and defiance. Told through the first-person account of Vera, the story follows her journey from hardship to becoming a fighter, sustained by the unexpected aid of American war relief dropped behind enemy lines.

In "A Holiday with Death," Jo finds herself caught in a web of old grudges when Bug-Eye Bailey is released on parole, threatening Dan with vengeance. With Mike torn between duty and fear, Jo takes matters into her own hands by launching a public campaign to send Bailey back to jail—only to find the spotlight turning on them both. When the heat mounts, Dan’s return as the Beetle offers a timely, if unexpected, resolution.
