HIRSCH, JEFF
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Sixteen-year-old Glenn Morgan has lived next to the Rift her entire life and has no idea of what might be on the
other side of it. Glenn's only friend, Kevin, insists the fence holds back a world of monsters and witchcraft, but
magic isn't for Glenn. She has enough problems with reality: Glenn's mother disappeared when she was six, and
soon after, she lost her scientist father to his all-consuming work on the mysterious Project. Glenn buries herself
in her studies and dreams about the day she can escape. But when her father's work leads to his arrest, he
gives Glenn a simple metal bracelet that will send Glenn and Kevin on the run---with only one place to go.

SOBAT, GAIL SIDONIE
Jan is a 17 year-old kid in trouble with the law. Al is a feisty old coot. Paired together because Jan must serve
community service hours at a seniors’ residence after pleading guilty to a marijuana possession offense, the two
initially resent each other. Gradually, the curmudgeonly Al becomes mentor and father-figure to the young
delinquent. Through the old man’s guidance and the boy's re-framing of a series of bad dreams, Jan begins to
imagine other possibilities. He learns to value compassion and decency as part of successful human
relationships. Making a choice to leave behind his unsavory past, Jan falls in love with young Jodi, with books,
with ideas and writing because of Al's influence. When the old man is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Jan
resolves to be bodyguard to Al. With this choice, one life ends and another begins.
