Book Description
A result of an investigative report by tenacious University of Oregon journalism students, Classroom 15 tells the story of how the dreams of fourth-grade students at the Riverside School, Roseburg, in rural Oregon timber country, were crushed by the prevailing Red Scare, McCarthyism, state and societal censorship, and J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. The teacher of Classroom 15, known fondly as Mr. McFetridge, assigned a pen pal project in an effort to take geography lessons outside of the classroom. Imagining a place as far from Oregon as they possibly could, the students wrote letters to nine- and ten-year-old counterparts in the Soviet Union. Janice Boyle, the class secretary, reached out to Oregon’s Congressional representative, Charles O. Porter, seeking assistance connecting with peers in Russia. Representative Porter forwarded the letter to the Secretary of State Christian Herter, and a week later the students received the shocking and disheartening news that their benign request had been needlessly denied. In the wake of McCarthyism, the Eisenhower administration subverted the assignment, fearing Communist propaganda would infect the innocent minds of eager Oregon schoolchildren. The students’ plight quickly gained national attention with stories running from the Roseburg News-Review to the New York Times. The publicity didn’t miss the attention of J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. His agents investigated. They traveled to Roseburg, collected evidence, and took it back to the Bureau’s regional headquarters in Portland. The public reaction was swift and unrelenting. The teacher and the Congressman were attacked by outraged Roseburg citizens, the school board, and enraged Americans across the country. Classroom 15 is all the above and a page-turning adventure story told with the voices of the empowered, tenacious University of Oregon journalism students who took the nascent story and demonstrated their unwavering devotion to the journalistic process by telling the tale.

Book Description
A deeply polarized and ungovernable United States of America has separated into two nations—the God Fearing States (GFS) and the United Progressive Regions (UPR). Judith Braverman, a teenager living in an Orthodox Jewish community in the GFS, is not only a talented artist accomplished in the ancient craft of papercutting, she also has the gift of seeing into peoples’ souls—and can tell instantly if someone is good or evil. Jeffrey Schwartz has no love for religion or conformity and yearns to escape to the freedom of the UPR. When he’s accepted into an experimental pen pal program and paired with Dani Fine, an openly queer girl in the UPR, he hopes that he can finally find a way out. As danger mounts and their alarm grows, Judith embeds a secret code in her papercuts so that she and Jeffrey can tell Dani what’s happening to Jews in the GFS without raising suspicions from the government. When the three arrange a quick, clandestine meeting, Jeffrey is finally faced with the choice to flee or to stay and resist. And Judith is reeling from a pull toward Dani that is unlike anything she has ever felt before. Content note: the book contains one brief memory of sexual assault of a male teen by another male teen. Book 1 of The Split Series.

Book Description
"25 TO LOVE" is based on a true Pen-Pal Fairytale, where a 47-year old male, Belgium-born, Canadian resident, accidentally comes across the profile-ad that took a 45-years old, New York-Puerto Rican, female-prison-inmate (with a 25 to life sentence in the state of New York, running consecutive to a 30 to life sentence in the state of New Jersey) 10 years to place. These two were never supposed to meet. By some chance of the stars, they did and now, it's an improbable love story that takes place in a very uncommon setting, a maximum security prison for women. This story is about "what" happens when love-at-first-sight hits you hard and "how" far you would go for that love. Through countless stays at hotels, on top of tons of photos and letters, hundreds of cards and several hundred phone calls, he's traveled a thousand miles a month by car alone (not including his flights) to go visit her. Hence, he has traveled more than 40 thousand miles, which is the equivalent of going around the earth at the level of the equator, and then taking your car from the North Pole to the tip of South America. What follows that? They fell in-love. They got married. He hires not one, but two attorneys to get some positive legal action going for her. He gives up a quarter-of-a-million-dollar-job to be closer to the prison she's in. She, being and artist, designer and musician, attempts to help him financially in all ways possible, to no avail, but he manages on his own and she continues to try. He has a best friend who happens to be an Award Winning film producer in Canada, who becomes enamored with their story and thus, begins a documentary to tell their story. Together, five years later, after going through some serious, what seemed unending red-tape, envy, hate, trials and tribulations, sacrifices, prison rules and regulations and a difficult ex (of his), the determined 'power couple' through an abundance of humor, laughs, tears and patience, are finally on their way.

Meanwhile, Jeff, whose parents are scientists, is the only kid on board. He’s got no friends to play with, and his robot babysitter is constantly bossing him around. To make matters worse, all of his friends are off at summer camp back on Earth and too busy having a great time to email him.
