* "A high-tech, twisted Breakfast Club for the social media age." -Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewWilliam Mackler is about to go on the road trip of a lifetime. After winning a contest-and nearly dying in the process-he becomes the proud owner of Autonomous, a driverless car that knows where you want to go before you do. #Worthit! To sweeten the deal he gets to pick three friends to go with him on a cross-country trip-his best friend, Daniel; Daniel's girlfriend, Melissa; and the girl next door Christina. For William, a reckless adrenaline junkie, this is the perfect last hurrah for him and his crew before they go their separate ways after graduation. But Autonomous is more than just a car without a steering wheel. It's capable of downloading all of the passengers' digital history-from the good, to the bad, to the humiliating. The information is customized into an itinerary that will expose a few well-kept secrets, but it will also force William to face some inner demons of his own. This funny, tense, action-packed thriller combines topical social-media-privacy stakes with jaw-dropping high-tech action for a road trip saga like no other.

Going Somewhere is a dynamic autobiographical narrative about biophysicist Andrew Marino’s career in science since the 1960s. The book explores—with a depth and drama that arise from personal involvement—an exceptionally wide range of science-related matters: the function of electricity in living things; the influence of corporate and military power on science; the operation of the NIH, FDA, and other state and federal agencies dealing with human health; the problem of scientific “experts” in legal settings; the distorting influence of the physics model of science on biology; the role of chaos theory in experimental biology; and crucial public misconceptions about how science functions. These matters arise in the long course of Marino’s scientific and legal activities in the complex 35-year debate over the health risks of EMFs.

Jessie's father has gone missing but she knows he'll back to take down the rest of her family. After an encounter with a group of girls, who Jessie's Aunt Abby describes as "bad news," Jessie finds herself in a heated battle with the warlocks that threaten to destroy her entire bloodline. In time, she unveils an unimaginable secret about herself that will surely alter her future. Jessie has to decide which way she will turn and how she will use her new powers to stop her father from hurting anyone else. Can she prevent herself from becoming evil in the process?
