    When she discovers a teenage boy with severe hypothermia, Rylie has to work with one of her biggest rivals to figure out what happened.  
    High school never seemed so brutal.  
    In a world of cliques and parties, championship football games and college applications, Rylie is sure she'll be able to solve the mystery.  
    Until she finds another boy . . .  
    Will Rylie be able to piece together the hormone-fueled puzzle before it's too late? Will the boys survive? And will she ever get out of her parents' basement?  
    Fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and Meg Cabot's Heather Wells Mysteries will love Throttled, the third installment of the Rylie Cooper Mystery Series.

    Hungry - The Inspiring Tale of...

    A mesmerizing work, literarily impressive and historically exacting. -Kirkus 
    In 1847, the Donner party resorted to eating human flesh to survive entrapment at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. They became infamous, with books, stories, and interviews exploring their misery. None of them tell the extraordinary story from the first-person point of view of the female survivors. 
    Until now. 
    Three women yearned to make better lives in California: 
    Nineteen-year-old Mary Ann Graves set out west with her family in search of a home that would be free of disease like the ague that had afflicted her mother and sisters for years. If she met a handsome guy along the way, well, she wouldn’t complain. As the belle of the Donner party, she certainly had plenty of interest. 
    Peggy Breen had just given birth to her seventh child, but she wasn’t afraid of the two-thousand-mile journey toward prosperity. She’d take care of her children and honor her husband along the trail, because that’s what women of faith did. But when supplies became limited, her giving heart and her mother’s instinct were at odds. 
    Virginia Blackstone Reed, the thirteen-year-old daughter of the group’s leader, set out in search of adventure, riding her sassy palomino pony alongside the largest double-decker wagon anyone had ever seen. As the adopted daughter of the most influential and prosperous man in the wagon train, she had no idea at the start that her polarizing father with his ostentatious wealth would pave the way for their future devastation. 
    By the time these women and the rest of the party reached mountains after taking a “shortcut,” they were already two months late. They'd lost people, oxen, mules, and livestock they needed. Then the snow began to fall. 
    And it didn’t stop.
