"A playfully surreal but enthralling story of society's castoffs." - Kirkus ReviewThirteen year old Nicolai Tate is tired of running. Homeless and pursued by the authorities, he is befriended by an old man seemingly able to see into the future and soon finds himself living in a boarding house full of misfits. There he encounters an unemployed drifter, Truman Birdsong, also without a home. Together, they forge an unlikely partnership. Dodging children's services and thugs hired by two wealthy brothers intent on owning the county, they join with the boarding house residents in trying to unravel the truth behind an antigovernment militia's plot. They have little idea the danger they will face. Punctuated by a budding romance, a violent storm and the old man's belief in the spirit world, the story follows Truman and Nicolai as they struggle to forge a new life out of their fractured pasts.
Two friends, one white, the other black, discover a solid silver lock-box hidden in an antique desk and, on impulse, one of them decides to steal it. Inside is a sheaf of papers bound with twine. Assuming the papers to be nothing more than a worthless diary, they toss them aside but soon discover their mistake. The manuscript is in fact a previously unknown sequel to Mark Twain's novel, Huckleberry Finn. When the box is stolen, the men set out to find it and redeem themselves, encountering prejudice and bigotry along the way that parallels Twain's story, and leads them to a shocking truth about their own shared past.

THE SPIRIT WARRIORS After their dad retired from the Marine Corps Alex and Lindsey Barnett were hoping to finally be able to live in one place instead of having to move all of the time. Their parents, Jim and Sarah had a home built on their family farm in the woods so it was ready for them when they could finally come home for good. They were unaware of the secrets that were hidden in the woods, the remains of an ancient Indian village. Now the two of them are experiencing strange things. They see shadow people in the woods. Their parents are discovering strange forces that are strengthening inside their own home. As the forces increase inside the house so do Alex and Lindsey's supernatural abilities. Soon they are visited in their sleep by the long dead chief of the village who tells them they are Spirit Warriors. Not knowing what a Spirit Warrior is they turn to the local Catholic Priest for help only to learn his methods for dealing with these dead are useless. As a last ditch effort they turn to two Indian shamans Grey Wolf and Soaring Eagle to bring their knowledge of the ancient ways to free them from the supernatural forces that have surrounded them. Can Alex and Lindsey keep everyone safe while the shaman try to bring peace to the woods or will the forces on the other side of the portal prove too much for even them?
