Keene Davenport’s call for a student walkout to protest his school’s annual “Slave Day” fundraiser is having less than the desired effect Shawn Greeley, Robert E. Lee High School’s first African-American student council president, still amiably presides over the auctioning of student body reps to serve as book totes, chauffeurs, and lunch fetchers for the day. Hoping to save face, Keene chooses an alternate path of civil disobenience. Assuming that a day of degradation ought to open Shawn’s eyes, Keene will “buy” Shawn to be his slave, no matter what the cost. So begins one eventful day in the lives of Robert E. Lee High’s “slaves” and “masters”—seven students and one teacher—who tell of their experiences in alternating first-person narratives. Beauty queens and geeks, class clowns and football players, spanning different ethnic, social, and class backgrounds—all participants are ripe to come away from this Slave Day changed.

Patrick Sheridan is experiencing technical difficulties...Patrick's thrilled to become a student reporter on a teen news show. But when he leaves his small Texas town for the bright lights of Los Angeles, everything changes. It doesn't take long before Patrick is mingling with the rich and famous and doing all kinds of things he never thought he would -- like cheating on his girlfriend, lying to his parents, and losing his best friend. And by the time he learns that it was his handsome face and not his writing that landed him his new job, he's left to pick up the pieces alone. Hollywood is already full of beautiful people with no talent; how can he prove that he's more? He'll have to start by convincing himself.
