Everyone wants to be her friend, including Olive…but things might not be so easy. “There’s a new kid in town! From the moment Natasha sets foot in class, it’s clear she’s one of the coolest kids in sixth grade. Can a treasure hunt, a mysterious mansion, and an epic beachside fight help her to open up at last?” (Catalogue) Cici’s friends and mom all want to help her heal, but she keeps pushing them away. Yet even though Cici is great at helping others, for a long time now she has kept a dark and painful secret hidden inside herself. “Everyone has secrets, but no one can hide them from Cici! As a future writer, Cici knows what questions to ask and where to find the clues she needs to unlock people’s hearts.

Suddenly, the girls are pulled from their era and transported to another time!

One day, he passes eleven-year-old Jo, peering out the window of her house, bored and lonely. “Every Saturday, Pawcasso trots into town with a basket, a shopping list, and cash in paw to buy groceries for his family. Can she find her confidence in school, at home, and on the court?” (Adapted from Catalogue) That doesn’t matter to Lori though, because basketball is a place where working hard and getting better gives her hints of self-confidence. “Lori Block and her best friend Sophia are dedicated to their Fourth-Grade basketball team, despite being relegated to the 5th quarter, an extra period before the real game starts, where the not-so-good kids play, and the points don’t count. But there are more dangers in the world than monsters, and when the two sisters reunite, they’ll discover the secrets of this new and terrifying world firsthand.” (Adapted from Catalogue). Going from settlement to settlement, Rainbow asks every survivor she meets: Have you seen my sister? Then, one day, Jonna is spotted out in the wild: nearly feral, and stronger than ever before.
