Coltan, or “blue gold,” is a rare mineral used in making cell phones and computers. Across continents, the lives of three teen girls are affected by the “blue gold” trade. Sylvie’s family had to flee the Democratic Republic of the Congo after her father was killed by a rogue militia gang in the conflict for control of coltan. The refugee camp where she now lives is deplorable, and Sylvie yearns for a way out—to save not only herself, but her remaining family. Laiping labors in a Chinese factory, soldering components for cell phones. She had left her small village to make her fortune, but the factory conditions are crushing, and the constant pressure to send money home adds to her misery. Yet when Laiping tries to improve her situation, she sees what happens to those who dare question the electronics company’s policies. Fiona is a North American girl who, in one thoughtless moment, takes a picture on her cell phone she comes to regret. In the aftermath, she learns not only about trust and being true to oneself, but the importance of fighting for what is right. All three teens are unexpectedly linked by these events.

There had been an order of some kind, but he was growing deaf, and the heavy engines were on. The overseer repeated it. "Sir?" "I said your notice, did n't I? I say your notice, don't I? You '11 work your notice, you will." "A-a-ah !" said Bijah, drawing a long breath. He stood and knotted his lean fingers together, watching the yellow dye drop off. "Is there a reason given, sir?" "No reason." "Folks my age ain't often ordered on notice without reason," said the old man, feebly. "Folks your age should be more particular how they give satisfaction," said the overseer, significantly. "I 've known o' cases as where a boss has guessed at a reason, on his own hook, you know, Jim." Irish Jim was in the print-rooms at Hayle and Kelso at that time. Some said the new partner had a finger in "getting him out of the weavingroom. It was a sharp fellow, and belonged somewhere. Here he would be brutal to old men and little boys; but there were no girls in the printroom. "On his own hook and at a guess," said the "boss," "a man might ask who testified to Boston on a recent little hour-bill as we know of." "/ testified," cried the old man, shrilly, "before a committee of the Legislature of the State of Massachusetts. I 'd do it ag'in, Jim! In the face of my notice, I 'd do it ag'in! At the risk o' the poor-us, I 'd do it ag'in! I call Hayle and Kelso to witness as I 'd do it ag'in! In the name of the State of Massachusetts, I 'd do it ag'in!" "Do it again !" said Jim, with a brutal oath. "Who hinders you?" "But there were no reasons !" added the overseer, sharply. "You fail to give satisfaction,...

Addiction is a serious matter and Jason is slowly learning that lesson.Jason Young is the newest member of the Riverside Juvenile Rehabilitation Center, which is just about as terrible as it sounds, if you ask him. He doesn’t see why the judge sentenced him to the podunk town of Escape, Colorado. The center is outside of town near Crimson Ridge, cut off from the outside world, because no one wants to be associated with it. He may only be there an agonizing 6 months until he turns 18, but that doesn’t make it any better. He just hopes it’s bearable. Everything begins to change once he meets Tabitha Blackwell. She’s been there for a few months now, having spent her 17th birthday cooped up between the walls of the girls’ cabin. She talks about finally being free and one day getting away from Riverside. There’s a dark side to her that Jason’s drawn to, but sometimes a person’s dark side isn’t what you think. Their inner demons may be similar, but it’s difficult to tell whose are screaming louder.
