All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook
by Leslie Connor
Perry has been raised in a low security prison.  He is a happy and well-like kid-some in the prison refer to him as their "Sun".  When a new county district attorney discovers this highly unusual situation he is determined to help Perry...but does Perry need his help?  A sub-plot: Perry needs to find out the truth of his mother's conviction she won't tell him.  Bonus: Perry is helped by the local librarian.

Time Travelers [Gideon the Cutpurse]
by Linda Buckley-Archer
An older series that's been on my "to-read" list for a long time!  Just after they met Kate and Peter are sent back in time to 1786 England where they meet the notorious Tar Man who steals the anti-gravity machine that had brought the children to the past.  They are befriended by Gideon, cut-purse and gentleman, who assists them in their quest to retrieve their machine and get back to their time.

Summerlost
by Ally Condie
A tender story of Cedar Lee facing living in a new town a year after the death of her father and brother.  She befriends Leo and they "work" at the local college's Summerlost Festival (similar to a Shakespeare on the Green).  Together they set out to earn enough money for Leo to take a trip to England and to solve a mystery surrounding a former Summerlost actress.
