CAUGHT IN THE REBEL CAMP, Introducing Frederick Douglass -- The Civil War has just begun, and the controversy between the North and the South continues to heat up. Everybody seems to be getting into the action—except for Danny Sims. Danny wants nothing more than to fight with the Fifty-Fourth Massachusetts Infantry, Frederick Douglass’s newly formed black regiment. But his young age and a lame foot keep Danny from enlisting. The boy feels good for nothing until Frederick Douglass recommends Danny as the caretaker of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw’s horses. Danny knows the importance of this task, and he’s confident he will do an excellent job. But when the colonel’s own horse escapes one night, Danny goes after him, only to find himself inside the Confederate soldiers’ fort. In terror, he remembers the Fifty-Fourth’s plans of immediate attack—what if the battle begins while he is inside? When Danny sees that the Confederates are making their own plans for the attack, Danny realizes that the Union soldiers are being set up for a trap! Can Danny escape in time to warn his troops? A CRIPPLED BOY HAS NO PLACE IN THE WAR . . . DOES HE?

How can a blind pilot rescue a kidnapped nurse from desperate guerillas? Nick Archer was a bush pilot for the Missionary Aviation Support Team when the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) attacked Finca Fe, a boarding school for missionary kids, expats, and various local children situated along the Magdalena River in remote south-central Colombia. Nick and his plane were stationed there, but he escaped capture and injury. However, Terri Kaplan, the school nurse, was kidnapped along with two other staff members, one of whom was later killed while the other escaped. Driven by his love for Terri, Nick ignores his diabetes and its threat to his eyesight while he risks everything to find Terri and rescue her from the jungle camp where the FARC has taken her to attend to their wounded. Duplicity by the CIA and pressure from the United States on the Colombian government to curtail the rampant cocaine trade turn Nick’s rescue efforts into a total disaster. Complicating their crises are spiritual battles: Terri becomes confused about what she should do when she actually has a chance to escape, and Nick wonders where God is or if He even exists when God does not seem to answer any of his prayers. When Nick loses his vision from neglecting his eye problems at the very moment he has a chance to save Terri, he ends up flying blind!

THE BANDIT OF ASHLEY DOWNS Introducing George Müller By the time Curly Roddy was twelve years old, he’d already survived six years as a homeless orphan on the cruel streets of London in the 1870s. He slept in dustbins and ate orange peels when he could find them. Sometimes he earned a few coins by singing and doing acrobatics in pubs. He had perfected his skills at snatching purses and picking pockets. But when Curly overheard that a church was raising £3,000 for an orphan house in Bristol, his scheme of an armed robbery promised to bring him enough money for a lifetime. Enlisting the help of a local thug and thief, Spud Baxter, a plan is soon put into place. With Spud’s pistol and brute force, the church’s treasure should easily be taken. But the highway robbery brings Curly more trouble than he had bargained for. Is it scarier to be sent to the orphanage from which he stole the money than to be sent to prison? Will George Müller, the man in charge of the orphanage, make Curly into a slave to earn back at least a portion of the money? Or might they do something even worse? Curly’s in for the biggest surprise of his young life!
