She's been six different people in six different places: Madeline
in Ohio, Isabelle in Missouri, Olivia in Kentucky . . . But now
that she's been transplanted to rural Louisiana, she has decided
that this fake identity will be her last.
Witness Protection has taken nearly everything from her. But for
now, they've given her a new name, Megan Rose Jones, and a horrible
hair color. For the past eight months, Meg has begged her father to
answer one question: What on earth did he do-or see-that landed
them in this god-awful mess? Meg has just about had it with all of
the Suits' rules-and her dad's silence. If he won't help, it's time
she got some answers for herself.
But Meg isn't counting on Ethan Landry, an adorable Louisiana farm
boy who's too smart for his own good. He knows Meg is hiding
something big. And it just might get both of them killed. As they
embark on a perilous journey to free her family once and for all,
Meg discovers that there's only one rule that really
matters-survival.

Though still hotly debated by some,
global warming is now an accepted fact in the wider
scientific community. The average temperature of
the Earth is clearly getting warmer. As scientists
work to develop accurate models to predict the full
impact of global warming, researchers, policy makers
and industry leaders are attempting to understand
and agree on what can be done to minimize or even
reverse the impact of human contributions to global
climate change.
Volumes in the new Confronting Global Warming
series explore in detail the range of current and
impending challenges the planet faces as a result of
global warming. Climate change potentially affects all
aspects of modern life, from weather and agriculture
to health and politics. The series examines these
issues from a variety of expert perspectives, highlights
key future challenges, and addresses the pros and
cons of potential solutions -- all in a clear, unbiased
manner. Confronting Global Warming is the perfect
resource for students needing up-to-date, authoritative
information on what may be the most significant issue
of our time.
