    Road Trip Rescue by Becca Wierwille

    Twelve-year-old Kimmy trusts dogs more than people. After all, her dog Bo never made fun of her for having one hand. But two years ago, Bo disappeared. When Kimmy stumbles across a magazine photo of a dog in upstate New York that looks just like Bo, she knows she has to find him. Her parents seem oddly unsupportive, but pink-haired, adventure-hungry Aunt Skylar agrees to a road trip with a stop in the Adirondacks. Kimmy jumps at the chance to bring her furry family member home. Unfortunately, Aunt Skylar’s idea of a road trip isn’t the rescue mission Kimmy had in mind.

    Hunger Winter by Rob Currie

    Hunger Winter: A World War II Novel is the thrilling story of one boy's quest to find his father and protect his younger sister during the great Dutch famine of World War II! "Sometimes you have to take a chance, because it’s the only chance you have." Hunger Winter is intended for children between fourth and eighth grade. Kirkus Reviews calls the novel "a gritty but hopeful wartime thriller." Author Rob Currie did extensive research on events happening in the Netherlands during World War II – and the result is an enthralling story which captivates both young adults and children. Some of the darkest days during World War II are never explored in books for young people – but these action packed scenes convey Dutch traditions, danger, loyalty, and faith to readers.
