WEBJAM

Michael Hilton 10/18/2004

 

Here Comes Treble. Who’s the star of THIS show? Austin and Ashley Webster are about to find out when they’re sucked inside the musical side of the crazy, confusing World Wide Web. It’s all thanks to Austin’s laptop computer and a strange digital camera he picked up at a garage sale. But their timing couldn’t be worse: Ashley is just about to sing in the state “Greatest Young Vocalist” finals. Never mind the advice from their Aunt Jessica and so-called “help” from Tucker Campbell–who’ll do just about anything to win the finals. Austin and Ashley stumble deeper than ever into the Web, bouncing from one music-linked website to the next. Can they find their way back home before the competition is history? Or will their newest exploits hit a sour note and leave them trapped in the Web…forever? (Inspirational/Juvenile/Fiction)

WILDCATS IN THE HOUSE

 

Laura V. Hilton 06/2008

There's more you can learn from the East High Wildcats than just funky dances and catchy songs. Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Chad, and the rest of the gang teach valuable lessons about peer pressure, being yourself, acceptance, and teamwork, and Wildcats in the House shows you what the Bible has to say about each of these real-life situations. You need to be true to yourself and follow your dreams. Remember, "We're All in This Together," but only God can help us to "Bop to the Top"! (Inspirational/Nonfiction)
