"Think of it as an adventure," twelve-year-old Annie Ferris's father tells her when he announces that the family will be spending the next two months in Nepal on a medical mission. But what sort of adventure is it if you have to leave behind your friends, sleep in a tent with your bratty little sister, and actually be expected to eat something called yak cheese? Not an adventure Annie wants any part of. Then Annie meets Nirmala, a local girl, and begins to get to know the real Nepal. Before long, Annie, her little sister, Chelsea, and Nirmala embark on a journey, and the girls find themselves lost in a real-life obstacle course—with a snarling dog, a creaking rope bridge, and a darkening night sky.

When a blizzard hits during a sleigh ride and dinner at an isolated yurt miles from Keystone, The Clan accepts an offer from two arrogant snowmobilers for a way home. But to The Clan's dismay instead of going home, they are abandoned in a creepy backwoods cabin. Derek and Janae sneak out of the old cabin and trek across a white wilderness to find help while the snowmobilers, suspected of theft, are on the loose.

The teens must escape the frozen ravages of the blizzard. Derek’s determination to save The Clan while outwitting the thieves is unstoppable.

The first of the three-part All Saints series introduces Jimmy, a kid with a whole lot of problems. Adulthood glitters on a distant horizon, beyond the bored gazes of distracted parents and teachers, and the blood, dust and taunts of the playground. But perhaps freedom isn’t out of reach, after all. When Jimmy changes schools he encounters a pack of boys who seem to be everything he isn’t; strong, fearless, and just as untouchable as the adults in their exclusive mystical universe. More than anything, Jimmy longs to belong. Surrounded by petty crims, racists, bullies and the broken dreams of every generation before him, true friendship is a rare commodity. Jimmy might prove himself worthy, but the relentless weight of survival could test even the strongest loyalties.

School is out and Jimmy is finally free. In book two of the three-part All Saints series, we find our young hero flipping burgers in a grease joint. But for all the cow guts and blow flies, life has never been sweeter. He’s in a band, meeting girls and generally doing everything he can to abuse the freedoms of adulthood, without being encumbered by its responsibilities. Of course, every story needs a bad guy. When rival band De-Funkt hit the scene with their bullish front man Kane and his new wave electro, Jimmy is determined to show them—and Kane’s girlfriend, Anna—what real music sounds like.It was all meant to be a bit of fun, but in Jimmy’s world a lark can turn serious with a single look. Kane has secrets to keep, and the last thing he needs is a loud mouth sniffing around Anna, or the money she makes him. Both boys will do anything they can to win, and the battle of the bands may just spill out onto the streets
