  Deet's world turns upside down when his father is arrested for drug use. It doesn't seem possible that kind, caring Dad could be a criminal! After all, he only took the pills to stay awake so he could work two jobs. Now what will happen? How will Deet be able to face his classmates? Where will they get money? And most importantly, will Dad be okay in prison?  Hurt, angry, and ashamed, Deet doesn't want to visit his father in jail. But when Mom goes back to work, Deet starts visiting Dad after school. It's frightening at first, but as he adjusts to the routine, Deet begins to see the prisoners as people with stories of their own, just like his dad. Deet soon realizes that prison isn't the terrifying place of movies and nightmares. In fact, Dad's imprisonment leads Deet to make a few surprising discoveries -- about his father, his friends, and himself.  With moving realism, Kirkpatrick Hill brings to light the tumultuous experience of having a parent in jail in this honest and stirring story of a young man forced to grow up quickly.

  The Summoning: Chloe Saunders is locked up in Lyle House, a “special home” for troubled teens. Yet the home isn’t what it seems. There is definitely more to Chloe’s housemates than meets the eye. The question is, are they friends, or deadly enemies? 
   
  The Awakening: Chloe is a living science experiment—not only can she see ghosts, but she was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. Her new powers of necromancy are out of control and she’s running for her life with a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch—desperate to find help before the danger catches up with them. 
   
  The Reckoning: Caught between her feelings for a certain antisocial werewolf and his charming sorcerer brother, Chloe will do anything to keep herself and her supernatural friends safe from the evil corporation that is out to destroy them. Now that Chloe has a plan, the end is very near. . . .
