Hunting Zero
Summary
If an Eskimo found himself in Florida, would he think he had died and gone to heaven, or would he think he was in hell? Those are some of the thoughts Reggan Sobe has had lately. She has a lot to think about and plenty of time. There is no internet, cable TV, not even landlines. Books are hard to come by. Paper doesn’t do well in this new frozen wasteland. Most of the human race has been wiped out by the wars or the virus. At the center of this madness were the Kapteyians, an alien race who supposedly came in peace. Sadly, they were just like us. Arrogant, greedy, and willing to kill to get what they want. We had done the same to the Native Americans. How many died for our greed and stupidity? Now, nature and the aliens had decided it was our turn. Keeping with our nature, the president, Congress, and big business betrayed us so they could survive the new world. A simple plan that went wrong when one 17-year-old girl survived when everyone else died. Like it or not, Reggan may be the world’s last hope.

Thrown a Curve
Summary
Maybe, she’s right to be miserable. A social misfit and mediocre student, she has never known her mother, and her father seems to hate her. This is the life of Taylor Dresden, a freshman in a gritty New Jersey high school. The only pleasure she’s ever had was playing baseball. But at the age of eight, she stopped playing when she overheard her dad say how embarrassed he was that her athletic talent far exceeded her older brother’s. A 14-year-old struggling to find her true self, Taylor commits a single incident of alcohol-induced vandalism at her new school and is suddenly branded a juvenile delinquent. Her guidance counselor, instead of pressing charges on the school’s behalf, offers her an alternate punishment: join the baseball team and talk regularly to him. Forced to play baseball once again, Taylor continues to feel that life has thrown her a few too many curves. None of the boys want her on the team. No girls are friendly to her. Her dad ignores her. Her one friend complicates their relationship by becoming a possible love interest. Eventually, after several baseball games and several sessions with her guidance counselor, Taylor begins to gain the self-confidence she needs to straighten out her life. She realizes she has real talent as a pitcher, especially with her killer curveball. She begins to accept the friendship of other girls. She starts to enjoy a romance with her best friend. She even attempts to improve the dreadful relationship she has with her distant dad. Taylor’s story reflects the plight of every adolescent who’s struggled with self-worth and identity, with relational problems between parents and peers, and with finding a niche in an imperfect world. Though Taylor is no fairy-tale heroine, she gradually comes to know that no matter how many curves life throws at her, she’s quite capable of catching them and throwing them right back.
