Could YOU Forgive?

Would you know what to do if this happened to you?

Hidden

by Helen Frost

When Wren and Darra meet at age 14, they recognize each other instantly, though they've never actually seen each other.  It has been 6 years since something happened that affected them both profoundly: Darra's father stole a car and drove it home, not knowing that Wren was hiding in the back.  Darra was the only one who guessed that Wren stayed hidden in their locked garage.

For Wren, hungry, thirsty, trapped, and terrified, the hours dragged on as she searched for a way out.

Now in Cabin 8, each girl knows the other's most private secret- - and neither of them wants to talk about what happened...

Sometimes YOU Have To Be Your Own Hero

Sixteen-year-old Sarah Meadows longs for "normal." Born with a port wine stain covering half her face, all her life she’s been plagued by stares, giggles, bullying, and disgust. But when she’s abducted on the way home from school, Sarah is forced to uncover the courage she never knew she had, become a hero rather than a victim, and learn to look beyond her face to find the beauty and strength she has inside.

It’s that—or succumb to a killer.

What would you do?

Chris Ramsay is living a normal existence in a quiet suburb in Dallas, Texas. He stays alone with his controlling father, in a home with bare walls and no family photos. 

 

Then one evening, Chirs turns on the TV. There, before him, is a photo of a kid who was stolen from his mother in Canada thirteen years ago. The eerie, computer-aged face staring back from the TV makes Chris feel like he's looking into a mirror.

 

Right then, Chris's quiet world is shattered and can never be the same again. He flees Dallas, assuming a succession of new identities so his father can't find him.

 

He's got to get home...
