Our message is simple: Dream Big, We'll Show You How.

Lester Clarkson and Billy Smith, together with John Clarkson, Lester’s cousin, were eager to start their summer vacation with an exciting escapade. The three friends decided to go visit the venue of the upcoming Hot Air Balloon International Fiesta in New Mexico, a day before the event. They got a free pass and tour because Lester’s father is one of the organizers. While they were having a tour with Jordan, Peter’s assistant, the three boys managed to sneak out from Peter. The three ended up hiding inside one of the hot air balloons. Lester thought of something and decided to fly and steer the hot air balloon since he has knowledge as well.  In the middle of their ride, heavy rain started to fall. Unfortunately, the rope from the hot air balloon that was connected to the ground was faulty. The boys’ hot air balloon ended up crashing into the unfamiliar woods of the Rocky Mountains. Will they be able to find their way home safely before it gets dark?

    "Absorbing ... Bittersweet ... A trio of friends who have enjoyed childhood island summers for years find that suddenly, everything is changing." — Booklist 
    "A skillful blending of the themes of adolescence, changing friendships, and old age." — The Horn Book 
    "Impressive ... A summer Roller coaster."— the Macon Beacon  
    Thirteen-year-old Ronnie (Veronica) was looking forward to summer on Harbor Island with her best friends, Mia and Charlie. The trio called themselves "the Clamdiggers," because they were as close as clams. They did everything together: boating, waterskiing, fishing, swimming, and playing their favorite after-dark game—spying on the Island's residents. But now, Ronnie finds that Mia and Charlie are growing up faster than she is, and the Clamdiggers seem to be falling apart. Ronnie finds solace in the company of Fern, an eighty-three-year-old retired concert pianist and the island's eccentric cat lady who likes to roam the island's wild places. Ronnie keeps her friendship with Fern a secret, and discovers that Fern has secrets of her own. 
    "Vivid, evocative ... Ronnie's impulsive actions, her discomfort with the changes in her friends, and her need to find new companionship will be understood by many middle-school age readers." — VOYA Magazine
