Soul Searching
Camden (Denny to her friends) lives in a world pretty similar to present-day America. Sure, collective telekinesis is a thing, but since it’s illegal to do it, it’s pretty low on the list of useful things. Thought Magnets don’t change the world all that much—they just make Denny visit church a bit more often, since churches are sacred ground where nobody–not even the American government–is allowed to steal your thoughts.
But when Denny’s best friend Brian dies in a tragic accident, even the TMs can’t steal Denny’s most dangerous contemplations.
What will Denny risk to save someone else’s soul?
Maybe I should Drive
Life on Earth has been unbearable for thirteen-year-old Kelly ever since a boy wrote a dirty limerick about her on the bathroom wall at school. Guess what? It turns out life in space is no grilled-cheese picnic, either.
After Kelly sips the last bubbly bit of her breakfast Coke one morning, a rapid chain of events (involving a badly maneuvered toy helicopter, a socially inept alien, and an aggressive water hose) forces her to follow her leaps-before-he-looks little brother into an invisible spaceship. Her attempts to get them safely back to earth are thwarted by another clanking alien and the spaceship itself--whose floors insist on melting away at the most inopportune times.
Going interstellar means Kelly has finally escaped the viral reach of the life-wrecking rhyme, right? Wrong. That boy—you know—the one who wrote the pervasive poem? He’s aboard the spaceship as well. Along with a boy Kelly desperately wants to date, maybe for all the wrong reasons. If she can’t get everyone back to Earth (before the ship melts into space goo), she may never get a chance to see her family, right her reputation, or enjoy an icy breakfast Coke ever again.
