A body in a boat and a deadly emergency landing lead an airline pilot to uncover a conspiracy in this technological thriller. When a boat and its grisly cargo are found adrift off Fort Lauderdale the investigation leads to more than “just” murder. In fact, the evidence points to a connection of an in-flight emergency that resulted in passenger fatalities and forced a diversion of Patriot Airlines Flight 63 to Bermuda. As the accidents investigation chairman of the pilots’ union, Captain Hart Lindy will find himself reluctantly drawn into the National Transportation Safety Board’s inquiry only to discover that someone is going to great lengths—including murder and kidnapping—to prevent the facts from being exposed. But who? And why? These are the questions Lindy will need to answer to get at the truth about what really happened to Flight 63. His task is complicated by his own personal demons, including the horrors of past airline crash investigations, as well as walking a diplomatic tightrope with an eccentric FBI special agent who is barely tolerating protocol, and an ambitious female investigator with eyes for Hart. Written by a veteran airline pilot and aviation analyst, Paper Wings will keep you up in the air and on the edge of your seat! “A masterful mélange of deadly mysteries and desperate acts.”—John J. Nance, New York Times–bestselling author of Lockout

Guthli is everyone's favorite - a happy child who likes to draw fairies, swing, and cycle. But then one day she is told not to wear her sister's frilly frock that she loves, but her "own" boy's clothes. And things erupt. "Why do you keep saying I'm a boy when I'm a girl?" she asks her mother. In that simple question lies all the bewilderment that children like Guthli feel, who don't seem to others what they know they are. The gentle story about gender identity tells it like it is, reality echoed in the flatness of the vibrant cutout illustrations.

In the world of thirteen-year-old girls, everything’s fine—at least on the surface. Isabelle Lee is a typical, wisecracking, middle-of-the-pack girl who just happens to be dealing with some big issues. Her father has died and no one—especially her mother—wants to talk about it. Meanwhile, Isabelle’s sister, who “used to be nine and charming,” has messed everything up by ratting Isabelle out to their mom about her eating disorder. At school, there’s Mr. Minx, the self-important (but really not bad) English teacher; Ashley Barnum, the prettiest girl around; and the lunchroom, where tables are turf in an all-eyes-open battle for social status. Isabelle has measured the distance to being cool and she thinks it’s long shiny hair, a toothpaste smile, and perfectly broken-in size-zero jeans. Perfect is the story of one girl’s attempt to cope with loss, define true friendship, and figure out the difference between appearances and reality.

It is 1942. Korinna, a thirteen-year-old girl in Germany, is an active member of the local Jungmadel, a Nazi youth group, along with many of her friends. She believes that Hitler is helping Germany by dealing with what he calls the “Jewish problem,” a campaign that she witnesses as her Jewish neighbors are attacked and taken from their homes. When Korinna discovers that her parents—who are secretly members of an underground resistance group—are sheltering a family of Jewish refugees behind her bedroom wall, she is shocked. As she comes to know the family her sympathies begin to turn, and when someone tips off the Gestapo, Korinna’s loyalties are put to the test. She must decide what she really believes and whom she really trusts. An exciting novel for middle-grade readers, Behind the Bedroom Wall teaches tolerance and understanding while exploring why Nazism held so many in its deadly thrall.
