If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch
Imagine being taken from the only place you have every really known to be home? That is what is happening to 15 year old Carey and her younger sister Jenessa. For the past ten years they have lived with their mother (when she was around that is) in the woods, secluded from everything. When a social worker and Carey's father show up to get them Carey knows that things are going to change, but the one thing she will never change is that she needs to take care of her sister at all cost and never, never let anyone take her away. Even if that means lying and keeping the secret that she has kept so long.

Thousand Words by Jennifer Brown
Everyone knows a picture is worth a thousand words, but for Ashleigh a picture is worth 60 hours... 60 hours of community service. Ashleigh is convinced that she is going to lose her boyfriend Kaleb when he goes off to college, so at the suggestion of her friends she decides to send him a photo of herself, a photo sans clothing. At first this works out great, Kaleb is giving her more attention then every, but when a bad breakup happens it turns disastrous To get even with Ashleigh, Kaleb sends the photo to the baseball team, and soon it becomes viral. The photo captures the attention of the town, teh media, and the school board. Ashley and Kaleb face consequences they never even thought of. Can one little picture really cause so much damage?
This a great story that teaches many lesson, read and let me know what you think :)
