Joshua is small for his age. He has been bullied relentlessly for years, and all of his friends have drifted away from him. Eve is a pretty girl who has just been recruited into the popular girls' clique. The two couldn't be more different. On the first day of eighth grade, their final year of middle school, their lives intersect when they are paired together as lab partners in Science class. At first reluctant just to be around him, Eve soon realizes that Joshua is nothing like the boy she'd been warned about, and through their partnership, their school's darkest secret is revealed to her. The relationship that forms between these unlikeliest of friends will lead them both on a path of self-discovery, a dangerous path that will teach them both the true meaning of friendship, loyalty, and most of all, love ... a relationship that will not only change both of their lives forever, but the complexion of their entire school.

Joshua's Island

The future of the human race hangs in the balance. A powerful alien race called the Jegg has invaded Earth, wiping out half of the Terran Confederation. In a hidden base under the Sahara Desert, a team of scientists works to mount a resistance against the invaders. Fitting a spacecraft with folding-space technology, they plan to travel to the other side of the galaxy to find a mysterious energy source that could help them defeat the Jegg. But none of them are ready for what they will find on the distant planet.
