The Devonians are space castaways who carve out a primitive society on a planet they call Devonia. These stories highlight various children in the colony and the struggles and enjoyments they find in their beautiful dangerous world. Alena's Baby follows A Foundling Furball: Joseph and his brothers normally spend lots of time in the spring fishing. Charley, Joseph's littler brother, can't go fishing without Joseph and keeps doing Joseph's chores so that Joseph will have to take him. Joseph neglects his chores because he knows Charley will do his work and instead disappears to help Alena, Michael, and Janine with Tawny, the dengee they saved. This manipulation is not something they should do. Will they be prevented from helping with Alena's Baby because of this?
