Jonah and his younger brother, Simon, are on their own. They set out to find what’s left of their family, carrying between them ten dollars, a backpack full of dirty clothes, a notebook, and a stack of letters from their brother, who is serving a tour in Vietnam. And soon into their journey, they have a ride. With a man and a beautiful girl who may be in love with Jonah. Or Simon. Or both of them. The man is crazy. The girl is desperate. This violent ride is only just beginning. And it will leave the brothers taking cover from hard truths about loyalty, love, and survival that crash into their lives. One more thing: The brothers have a gun. They’re going to need it.

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Sixteen-year-old Austin Szerba has always filled notebooks with the histories of his family and the narrative of his daily life, but his story takes an epic, dangerous turn when he and his best friend, Robby, accidently bring about the end of humanity by unleashing an unstoppable army of horny, hungry, six-foot-tall praying mantises on their small Iowa hometown. While struggling with their own confusing love triangle, the boys piece together the origin of the unstoppable soldiers from stories that have been locked away in an absurd underground bunker for decades.

The summer before Troy Stotts turns seventeen, his mother dies. Troy and his father barely speak, communicating instead by writing notes on a legal pad by the phone. Troy spends most of his time with his closest friends: Tom Buller, brash and fearless, the son of a drunk; Gabe Benavidez, smart enough to know he’ll never take over the family ranch; and Gabe’s sister, Luz, whose family overprotects her, and who Troy has loved since they were children. Troy and his friends don’t want trouble. They want this to be the summer of what Troy calls “ghost medicine,” when time seems to stop, so they won’t have to face the past or the future. But before the summer is over, their paths will cross in dangerous and fateful ways with people who will change their lives: Rose, a damaged derelict who lives with a flock of wild horses and goats; and Chase Rutledge, the arrogant sheriff’s son. Troy and his friends want to disappear. Instead, they will become what they least expect —brothers, lovers, heroes, and ghosts.

Walynn the Wishing Worm is designed to encourage traditional morals and values. The story takes place in a setting that has the potential to be troublesome. But with a lot of faith, hard work, and strong friendships, the tiny insect characters manage to keep the environment positive and exciting.

Walynn is a friendly little worm with a big heart. Driven by the desire to help those in need, Walynn and his friends are quick to jump into action, keeping wrongdoers at bay. Despite his appearance, Walynn isn’t the typical worm. He has a secret weapon—Owen, the wish-granting genie. However, there is one small catch, Owen is a young genie with limited powers. Having just enough magic to land the gang into one sticky situation after another, Owen helps his friends to discover that real power resides in old-fashioned values. By supporting one another, Walynn and his gang find that they can accomplish anything. The characters in this story show that real superheroes are those who are honest, hardworking, trustworthy, and faithful. The story presents a wonderful opportunity to share God’s word with children by comparing the many intriguing yet difficult situations to the gospels and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
