Trout and Me
When a new troublemaker, Trout, arrives at school, Ben is soon diagnosed with ADD–just like Trout. Ever since first grade, Ben’s been in trouble, even though he’s really not a bad kid. He just can’t seem to stop doing things that get him sent to the principal’s office. His parents and wise older sister, Meg, swear he’ll be fine in his own time, but when a new kid shows up in Ben’s fifth-grade class, he’s not so sure. Trout sticks to him like glue, and it’s clear from the start that Trout is a much bigger troublemaker than Ben ever was. So when Ben gets diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), just like Trout, and then has to take Ritalin, just like Trout, he’s not sure what to make of his friendship–especially when he starts to get a bad reputation. Is Trout’s badness rubbing off on him? Can Ben make people understand it’s the ADD, not Trout, causing the problems before it’s too late?
Kiss Me Tomorrow
There are too many men in Blister's life. There's her father, who plays "Dad" only when it doesn't inconvenience his wife, Trixie. There's Frank, the boyfriend of Blister's mom, who shows inconvenient qualities of decency. There's Jakob, a tough boy terrorizing Blister's best friend, Jonah. And finally, there's Jonah himself, who made one mistake that may land him in jail, and then an even bigger one by falling for Blister. It's a lot for one skinny redhead to handle. But if anyone can do it, it's Blister.

Franny's first school dance is a disaster, so Margaret announces her latest crazy plan: They will travel to Italy to meet Salvatore Ferragamo, who will sculpt a pair of slippers especially for Franny. The idea is outrageous. The trip is expensive. And the experience changes Franny's life forever.
