The Adventures of Camellia N. (Mom's Choice Gold Medal and named
"Best Green/Environmental Book" by Story Monster Magazine) is the
first in a series of nine educational fiction books targeted to
early readers 4-8. Camellia's nightly dreams take her on adventures
to all seven continents and under the seas where she learns about
and gains appreciation for the environment surrounding her. Since
the opportunities to explore the world's environment are limitless,
Camellia discovers the beauty and magic in every state, country,
region and space. The first book takes Camellia and her
readers on an exciting journey to the Arctic. What sets The
Adventures of Camellia N. apart are rich, educational stories
filled with messaging with meaning. Camellia will be a catalyst for
change and help educate young children (and their parents) to
appreciate the natural riches of the world…and to protect them.
Sixteen-year-old Kaki Jones is a straight-A student, runs on the
cross country track team and exemplifies the all-around great
teenager. Her younger brother Brandon is the opposite. He parties,
fights at school, has photos of naked girls on his cell phone and
is in trouble with the police. But Kaki is the one who harbors a
dark secret. Her life has changed ever since she met the cool girl,
Sydney Diaz. Now Kaki is a sophomore by day and a commodity sold at
the hands of gang members by night. She is now controlled by
threats of violence against those she loves. This is the story of
what happens when parents look the other way, when a stranger
offers more affection than a father and when God’s deliverance is
the only answer.
