Henry will do anything to save his father. Even if it means keeping secrets. Big ones. Thirteen-year-old Henry Miller knows he's not typical. And it's not just because he's the president's son. When a mysterious assassin attacks him after school, Henry uncovers a strange power: the world slows down while he speeds up--stronger and faster than his short, stout body has ever been. Trouble is, Henry can't seem to talk about it. Literally. Or make this new strength happen at will. If he could, he might be able to help some people, and to be seen as his own person instead of just a politician's kid. Instead, he's stuck navigating the daunting world of White House ushers and antiques, maids and security. As if that's not enough, there's his fancy new school with its formidable principal and the senator's snotty daughter. In the midst of it all, Henry feels a little lost and a lot useless. Until he and his best friend Lucy uncover a plot to assassinate his father. But the closer Henry gets to finding the assassin, the more he begins to wonder if it's really the president at stake. Or is his father just a pawn in a game where they need to find the king? If you love sci-fantasy with great characters, plenty of twists, and nail-biting cliff hangers, this book is for you!

New Orleans is known for its ghosts. But Henry still doesn’t expect an old enemy to pop up as he’s trying to find an ancient book. And while it’s not surprising when that person tries to kill him, it gets a little confusing when they save him as he’s escaping from the Six. Now Henry and Lucy have some unwanted cargo as they sail to London, racing against the Six in their hunt for the first piece of the clasp. If they can find and assemble all four pieces, they can save the world. Without the first, they’re dead in the water. Maybe even literally. It’s a dangerous game when they’re still not certain if the shadowy figure is friend or foe. And knowing who to trust is half the battle. Knowing when to trust them is the other half.

Finding an ancient alien relic might save the world, but will it tear Henry and Lucy’s friendship apart? Henry is on his last nerve. The Appalachian Trail isn’t exactly a picnic, at least not when you’re trying to hide and survive. Lucy is grumpy all the time. Keikiki won’t even let him try to get better with the language and Henry’s stuck doing the same exercises day in and day out. When what he really needs to do is master the language and find the Guide, undoing the disaster he set in motion at the White House. Otherwise, Earth is toast. You know, no biggie. Which means that it’s not at all Henry’s fault when one night he sneaks out to practice the language. And possibly awakens an ancient power within an even more ancient mountain. But, hey, it’s cool. He’s the most powerful kid on earth, right? And he knows if he just practices hard enough, long enough, desperately enough, that everything he’s done wrong will be made right. Never mind if he ignores his best friend, or puts his mentor in danger. Never mind if he pushes away the people he values, even if it hurts him more than he dares to admit. After all, if he can just save the world, it will be worth it in the end. Won’t it? Join Henry and Lucy in the second book of The Determiner series!

Despite the perks of living with her rich aunt, Ella’s new life in Napper, Indiana, is pretty much tragically boring. Until Ella starts hearing strange voices. As rogue wolves begin to stalk the edges of town and a serial killer with a penchant for silver bullets draws closer, the city of Napper seems to wake up. Ella, with her new friends, Sam and Sarah, might be able to find out what the strange occurrences mean. Except that they’re all being pulled in different directions by people who love them; and some who don’t.

Seven letters. One word. A name for which she could no longer remember the rhythms. Once, in a land turned around and back again, a queen rose up with skin like flower petals and words like silk. When she dismissed a council comprised of shifter, halfbreed, and human in order to reopen the deadly Grey Mines, the shifters were forced to flee to concrete camps or the dangerous woods. But even evil queens get lonely. And even goodly councilmen get angry. And often innocent children get caught in between. When father falls can daughter rise?

But friends aren't the only ones in the business of deceit and betrayal, and soon Henry finds himself sick and powerless on the streets of New Luoyang. With no language and Henry growing sicker by the day, Lucy fights desperately to find the next piece without losing Henry--in more ways than one. Because although Henry is surrounded by enemies on all sides, the most dangerous foe might be the dark doubt that is growing in his own heart. Will Henry fly or fall in the exciting fourth book of The Determiner series?

“I’m not going to try it,” I said. “You’ll like it,” she argued. “I know I’ll like it,” I said. “That’s why I’m not going to try it.” “Try it just this once and I’ll never ask you to do it again.” That WAS a deal. I slipped back into the driver’s seat while Pat corn-rowed two neat lines of the silky white powder on the back of a plastic cassette tape cover. Fifteen hundred dollars every month, an abusive boyfriend, a molested child, a lost family, hotels for houses, a ruined leg, a gun to my head, a knife to my butt, a jail cell all my own. Black eyes, bruised days, broken hours. Looking back, it seems strange what I gave up to get my roommate off my back. It only took four seconds. *** In her debut memoir, Andrade tells of her years with cocaine and crystal methamphetamines—using, then selling—until all she had left of the life she wanted was a chalk outline and a pack of cigarettes. This is the story of her use and recovery, of the people who frustrated and inspired her, of her decision to leave the drug world. It is the story of her slow, often unsteady walk home.

“Mama admitted she was not the nest-building type." With these words author Jean Knight Green starts readers on an engaging journey through backwoods and dusty hamlets of the early 1900's Pacific Northwest. Told from the viewpoint of her high-spirited childhood self, she recounts her Mama's audacious bargain with Papa, bold Englishman and gold speculator, that began the family's saga. Here pledge: to support the family for three years by teaching in remote outposts (Spokane, where did they lived, did not allow married teachers) so Papa could have time to put the family "on Easy Street" as he always promised. While Papa chased gold, strong-willed Mama fearlessly carved out an unusual, adventurous life for her daughters while opening minds of all ages in a chilly one-room schoolhouse. Off Easy Street: A Memoir recounts an inspiring tale of family and relationships, exploits and adventures. "Papa promised Mama mink and pearls, but all she ever wanted was a new corset." Chasing dreams, managing reality: in today's lives only the details have changed. Concluding with Erma Bombeck-style tales from her later years, the author, a born storyteller, rounds out the engaging account of a life filled with remarkable memories and good humor. Green died in 2001. Her daughter Jennifer Ralston Blair edited and compiled her mother's works to introduce others to her mother's delightful tales.
