Reviewed by Lisa McCombs for Readers Favorite Katie should be a typical teenage girl doing typical teenage girls things; and to her peers she is. She goes to school where she tolerates biology class, aces English class (she's already read all the assigned novels) and excels in art class. One would think that she and her best gal pal share an exciting high school social life, but at the end of the school day, Katie goes home to an atmosphere of sadness and anxiety. Katie's brother Matthew is suffering his third and most likely final round of cancer. While Katie's mother devotes her every waking moment researching possible life-saving medical procedures and Matthew approaches each day with a courageous smile, Katie finds herself drowning in an existence void of escape from sickness and false hopes. Just as her spirit is at its lowest point, two men enter her life to comfort and carry her away from the dark realities of her daily life. Who are they? WHAT are they? Guardian ang

Reviewed by Lisa McCombs for Readers Favorite The perfect existence is to be surrounded by totally "hot" girls and have pay TV at your finger tips. Or so thinks Jason Taggart's best friend, Adam. Although he agrees with the need for pay channels (to the point of engaging in slightly illegal exploits to obtain it), Jason can only focus on one unobtainable girl. To enrich his high school experience and offset his rather frustrating football career, Jason enrolls in journalism class to learn how to write a journal. Imagine his surprise when the true purpose of the course is revealed! He perseveres, though, and actually enjoys his time there. Jason's journal entrees reveal a side of today's teenage boy that the public does not always see. Jason struggles with right and wrong choices and refers to his faith the God controls his destiny. Narrative Loserdom:(From Journal One) is a wonderful addition to a sorely lacking market of books for boys. As a middle school reading
