Summary

We ought to be there in about twenty minutes,” observed Arnold Deering, glancing at his watch.
One of his companions in the day-coach tossed the magazine he had been idly glancing through, to the top of the pile of suitcases beside him, yawned widely, and nodded without enthusiasm.
“If nothing happens,” he agreed.
“What’s going to happen, you chump?”
“Nothing, I suppose. Only, something might. There might be an earthquake, or the train might jump the track, or——”
“Or you might talk sense, Frank! As for jumping the track, this old train couldn’t jump a crack in the floor! I guess you’re wishing something would happen so you wouldn’t have to go back.”

    Turning the yellowed page, fingers trembling, Tabitha studied the handwritten mysteries of the founder and sighed under the gravity of her awesome challenge… 
    The secret city of Isolation is hidden behind a near-impenetrable wall of desert sand and blazing sun. Founded a generation ago as an analog oasis from the digital insanity outside, its peace and tranquility have been in peril since the founder’s death. When twins Tabitha and Tobias endanger Isolation with a visit to the outside world, they are faced with an impossible challenge. They must race to recover the Overseer’s Handbook, a stolen artifact that holds together their way of life, navigating a world wide web of digital deception and deadly dangers they don’t understand. 
    Comparable to the intrigue of City Of Ember, the imagination of A Wrinkle In Time, and the heart of The Chronicles of Narnia, Isolation is a message-driven thrill ride for YA readers of Christian Sci-Fi and Fantasy. 
    In Isolation by Lucas Kitchen, readers will explore the hazards of screen-time addiction and the power of healthy digital habits, faith, and Christian evangelism.

    Will didn’t plan to eat a stinkbug. But when his friend Darryl called new kid Eloy Herrera a racial slur, Will did it as a diversion. Now Will is Bug Boy, and everyone is cracking up inventing insect meals for him, like French flies and maggot-aroni and fleas. 
    Turns out eating bugs for food is a real thing called entomophagy. Deciding that means he can use a class project to feed everyone grasshoppers, Will bargains for Eloy’s help in exchange for helping him with wrestling, but their growing friendship only ticks off Darryl more. 
    Will may have bitten off more than he can chew as crickets, earthworm jerky—even a scorpion—end up on his plate, but insects are the least of his problems. When things between Darryl and Eloy heat up, Will wrestles with questions of loyalty and honor—and learns that maybe not all friendships are worth fighting for.
