How far would you go to say goodbye? Martin and Charlie are journeying 421 miles across England to find out, but are they prepared for what they find when they get there? Thirteen-year-old Martin and his younger brother Charlie are on a very special journey. They're traveling 421 miles all the way from Preston in northern England to the very tip of Cornwall in the southwest.

But is that the only reason they are going? Mom stays in bed all day and Dad is always at work. Martin is doing his best to be a good big brother, but Martin must come to terms with why he and Charlie are making the journey to Cornwall in the first place. Charlie and Me is an unforgettable novel that is funny, adventurous, and heartbreaking.

Book Description
'I can't change what I am. But I can change what I do. I must go away. I must leave you for a while until I've made my mark in the world. A man has to make his mark.' In post-civil war Mississippi, Doc Whitmore finds an infant in an old hut. The Harpers, who live nearby, take him in and give him a name. Young Charlie is mentored over the years by Doc and an Indian, whom he calls Oxytak. Through their kindly wisdom he learns that a man is more than merely the name he is given or the blood in his veins; he is, above all, the mark he makes. Charlie's efforts to carve out his place in the world begin with overcoming the persecution against him because of his mixed race. Ultimately, they will take him through high adventure, risk and danger, including brutal assaults by Boxer terrorists in China and a perilous mine rescue in Oklahoma. But he finds his greatest challenge of all to be the beautiful Jessie Harper. Charlie's Mark is a story of courage and sacrifice and the power of a woman's love in keeping alive a man's hope and determination. Readers will appreciate Charlie's charm, good humor, and his enthusiasm for life.

Book Description
An ancient, powerful evil is loose in San Francisco. The heart of Silicon Valley must fight back the only way they know how — with compassion, unwavering determination, and, of course, super-technology. Anne Perrin is resigned to a life driven by an adolescent trauma: a strict routine, no socializing (outside of the safety of her waitressing job), and no romantic relationships. When her cautious lifestyle lets the perfect partner slip through her fingers, Anne vows she won’t let it happen again and ventures into San Francisco to find happiness. Her first night out in a decade becomes a nightmare when her date turns on her with sadistic intent. But his nefarious plans for Anne are unexpectedly interrupted by a mysterious savior. Valiant, smart, compassionate … Charlie is exactly the partner Anne has been looking for. And best of all, he likes her too. Things go well between her and Charlie until an assailant with unexpected strength plunges Anne into a world she didn’t know existed — nor could have imagined — where super-science and an eclectic group of extraordinary individuals may be the solution to Anne’s lifelong loneliness … and humanity’s only hope against an ancient threat.
