This is a story any boy or girl could enjoy. It tells of Joey, a small kangaroo whose mother is killed before she can fully impart to him all that knowledge that bush creatures need in order to fend for and protect themselves. Joey goes through many vicissitudes - attack by men and by dingoes, capture, gunshot wounds - before he comes to rule his fellows, and by a hard-won victory over a rival animal, becomes King of the Ranges.

Leigh Nolan has just started her first year at Stiles College. She has decided to major in psychology (even though her parents would rather she study Tarot cards, not Rorschach blots). Although she has always been very good at helping her friends with their problems, when it comes to solving her own...not so much. Leigh has a tendency to overanalyze things, particularly when the opposite sex is involved. Like why doesn't Andrew, her boyfriend of over a year, ever invite her to spend the night? Or why can't she commit to taking the next step in their relationship? And why does his roommate Nathan dislike her so much? More importantly, why did Nathan have a starring role in a much-more-than-friendly dream? In a trying year that will have her questioning herself, her relationships, pretty much EVERYTHING, she may just find a few answers.
