Finn and Chloe feel they need more than good grades and community service to get them accepted into a prestigious college: perhaps a memorable experience they can write about on their application essay. Their well-planned scheme to fake Chloe's kidnapping and brave rescue seems to be just the thing to draw media attention to them and their small rural farming community. Although this deception is carefully plotted out, they never count on how it might devastate their families and alienate their friends, seriously harming one particular classmate. And how will the effects of their scheme change the close friendship that Finn and Chloe have always shared? Ages 12 and up. Reviewed by Carol

Fourteen-year-old Natalie O'Reilly is an excellent student, popular with lots of friends, involved in many school activities, and from a loving family: a typical teenage girl except she was born with a debilitating eye condition which developed into juvenile glaucoma and is slowly causing a complete loss of sight. At the last visit to her eye doctor the test results showed that within a few months she will be totally blind. Faced with a difficult decision, Natalie's parents feel it is best to enroll their daughter in the Baltimore Center for the Blind where she can begin learning the skills she will need to face life in a dark world. Her choice is either to live secluded and scared at home or to learn the skills she needs to have in order to survive in a sightless world. A moving story which takes you into the world of a teenager who must adjust to living in a "blacked-out" existence. Ages 12 and up. Reviewed by Carol
