No Time For Horses
Shamrock Stables #2
by Shannon Kennedy
Sixteen-year-old Vicky Miller feels overloaded since her parents filed for divorce. Her mother got the house and a new job. Her step-dad has the new car and a new girlfriend. Vicky has the five kids, her younger half-brothers and sisters who range from 18 months to 10 years old to look after and her own life now comes second to their needs and wants.
It's been six months of house-cleaning, baby-sitting, cooking, non-stop laundry and Vicky is through waiting for her life to improve. She has plans for her sophomore year at Lincoln High and they don't include being an unpaid servant. If it takes a constant battle to attend her riding classes and complete her internship at Shamrock Stable, she's ready to fight for her goal to be the best natural horse trainer around.
Her parents may not have time for her to be with horses, but she has dreams no one can steal. Why should she give them away? But will keeping them mean she loses her family?

The Revengers #2
by Caroline Crane
Hoping to make friends at her new school, Maddie joins the newspaper staff. Its charismatic editor, Hank Dalbeck, plans a controversial series on the right to die. This causes so much discussion at their weekly meeting that Hank misses his bus home and accepts a ride with Maddie. Before they can leave the parking lot, someone fires a shot through the windshield.
Now Hank himself is in a coma, like the people he wanted to write about. Who put him there? Was it someone violently opposed to his ideas?
Maddie suspects Evan Steffers, her jealous and possessive ex-boyfriend, who is supposed to be out of state. Nevertheless, he's been stalking her, sending flowers, messages, and threats. He's everywhere and nowhere, and her life is in danger. Even attractive police officer Rick Falco can't protect her from an unseen menace.
Maddie decides to carry on with the work that got Hank shot. Digging though old news clippings, she begins to understand the truth.
But it comes too late.
