VANISHED (*M)

Too much vanished to handle? Twelve-year-old Jeri McKane knew that attending boarding school hundreds of miles from home would be hard, but she never imagined anything like this. Her mom – too busy even to answer Jeri’s phone calls and emails – sends the devastating word that she can’t make it to Parents’ Weekend. Then the school bus carrying Jeri’s roommate Rosa mysteriously disappears. A natural sleuth, Jeri knows there are leads to be followed and follows her instincts to discover new dimensions of faith and courage. Can Jeri continue to trust God even in the most confusing of times?

BETRAYED (*M)

A serious misunderstanding leads to serious danger. Jeri McKane’s world is turned upside down when her roommate Rosa blames Jeri for using a secret against her. If the real blackmailer isn’t stopped, Rosa’s secret could lead to her expulsion. Rosa’s lead role in the school play also hangs in the balance—as does a special friendship. To make matters worse, Jeri’s dad turns up after months of no communication. Why does everything have to be so complicated—and where is God when you need him? A gifted investigator, Jeri may require a power larger than herself to stay out of harm’s way. Can she learn to reach out in time?

In the face of great danger, middle-school classmates are faced with the choice to trust God or to give in to their fears.

4Give and 4Get

The TodaysGirls plan a Mother’s Day singing performance, but what Alex Diaz doesn’t know-what everyone hides from her-is that she can’t carry a tune in a clear vinyl backpack. Even her backup musician tactfully encourages her to learn how to play an instrument. Events spiral to prevent Alex from discovering the truth about her voice, misunderstandings lead her to believe that her friends and her Mom actually can’t stand her. It takes the patient love of her Christian friends for Alex to realize that only through understanding can forgiveness come-forgiveness of her friends, for her mom, and even for herself.
