В первой книге 15-летняя Дженни случайно видит свое детское фото на объявлении о пропавшем 12 лет назад ребенке. Дженни потрясена: неужели люди, которых они считала родителями, много лет назад похитили ее? Во второй книге тайна похищения раскрыта и Дженни по суду должна переехать жить к биологическим родителям. Вот только не все члены семьи рады ее «возвращению»…

Дженни — самая обычная девочка-подросток. Она ходит в школу, болтает по телефону с подружками, влюблена в соседского парня. У нее идеальный дом и любящие родители. Но однажды она видит изображение пропавшей девочки на коробке молока и узнает в ней себя… Вся ее жизнь теперь кажется ей обманом. Она не верит, что ее родители способны похитить ребенка. Но почему тогда ей не показывают свидетельство о рождении, в доме нет детских фотографий, а внешне она совсем не похожа на маму с папой? Ей предстоит выбрать — притвориться, что ничего не произошло и забыть обо всем или разгадать эту загадку и узнать всю правду о своем прошлом.

Похищение осталось в прошлом, и Дженни пытается наладить свою жизнь. Она по-прежнему разрывается между двумя семьями и тоскует по своему парню Риву, который уехал учиться в другой город. А в это время в прямом эфире местной радиостанции каждую неделю кто-то рассказывает слушателям историю Дженни. Все самые мучительные подробности и секреты из жизни девушки и ее близких.

Amazon.comThe romantic time-travel series by the popular Caroline Cooney ( Both Sides of Time , Out of Time , Prisoner of Time ) continues with this fourth volume, in which the lovers, Annie and Strat, are again out of sync

A powerful novel about the difficulty of doing what is right.

Through their love for people, yet ignorance of the unknown, the Finch Family has joined alongside their church and opened their home to an African refugee family who are moving to Connecticut. The Amabo family of four– Andre, Celestine, Mattu, and Alake: father, mother, and teenage son and daughter– arrive in great hope as they have escaped the tyranny of Africa. What the Finch Family doesn’t know is that there are not just four refugees in this Amabo family, but five.

As the Amabo family, who have suffered unimaginable horrors, begin to adjust to a life of plenty in the Finches' suburban Connecticut home, and the Finches are learning new lessons of “The Golden Rule”. The life adjustment for all seems flawless.

But the fifth refugee does not believe in good will. This lawless rebel has managed to enter America undetected. And the Amabo family has something of his--something that they agreed to carry into the country for him.

When Jared, the oldest Finch son, realizes that the good guys are not always innocent, he must make a decision that could change the fates of both the Finches and the Amabos. In this uncommonly penetrating story, Caroline B. Cooney presents a fresh perspective on how doing what is right can be most difficult.

At age six Anaxandra is taken by King Nicander to be a companion to his crippled daughter on the island of Siphnos. Anaxandra has adjusted to her new life when, six years later, Siphnos is sacked by pirates, and she is the sole survivor. When a fleet of ships stops on the island to investigate, she assumes the identity of Princess Callisto to survive. The ships belong to Menelaus, king of Sparta, and he takes her back to Sparta with him. But Helen, wife of
Menelaus, does not believe that this child is Princess Callisto. Anaxandra manages to stay out of harm’s way—until Paris and Aeneas arrive. When Menelaus and his men depart to attend his grandfather’s funeral, Paris and Helen’s passionate affair plunges Sparta and Troy into war.

Inside, she could die.

Everyone says Mr. and Mrs. Shevvington are lovely people. But Christina knows otherwise. She sees what they are doing: First, they chose Anya. Then, Christina - but Christina was too strong for them...so now it's Dolly, sweet, trusting Dolly.

But Christina knows Dolly isn't outside. She's inside. Lost somewhere in the Shevvingtons' house. And that's much worse.

Christina knows the Shevvingtons have left a trail of hollowed-out, lost girls in mental hospitals across the country, and she has seen the secret files that prove it. But the Shevvingtons are determined to destroy the evidence ­ and Christina. This time, they'll use fire. They stuff her pocketbook full of matchbooks, scribble flames over her class notes ­ anything they can do to make it look like Christina is obsessed with fire and a danger to herself and others. With summer vacation and safety just weeks away, Christina must make one last desperate attempt to keep her sanity ­ and her life. This is book three in the LOSING CHRISTINA series.

Annie Lockwood exists; everyone admits it. Everyone has seen her. But only Strat insists that Miss Lockwood traveled one hundred years back in time to be with them in 1895. Now Strat is paying an enormous price: His father has declared him insane and had him locked away in an asylum. When Time calls Annie back to save Strat, she does not hesitate, even though her family is falling apart and desperately needs her. Can Annie save the boy she loves, or will her choice keep her a trespasser out of time?

Nobody can change the past, but is Macey ready to take the responsibility for the present and in the process reveal dark secrets about her town and the people she loves?
