(4) YA Orca Currents series. As an alternative to juvenile detention, petty thief Mike is placed in Explore, a program that teaches responsibility through outdoor activity. At first skeptical of the "Granolas" who like rock-climbing and back-country skiing, Mike soon discovers a safe place to grow. The swift plot rushes through the short chapters, but the first-person perspective allows Mike's character to develop.
