Bell, Cathleen Davitt

YA
It's 1994, and studious Juliet is confused when hockey-playing, soon-to-be Marine Lucas suddenly takes an interest in her. But his assertion that he can remember the future casts a shadow over their romance, especially when he starts dreaming about a desert war in Iraq. The plot is elevated beyond its conventional teen romance by the increasingly compelling science-fiction conceit.

YA
A summer at Camp Frontier, where guests must surrender all of their modern possessions to live like 1890s pioneers, is not thirteen-year-old Gen's idea of a vacation. Using her new cell phone, Gen secretly texts her friends, who chronicle her experiences on a popular blog. This entertaining story will amuse those who have always dreamed of living in a simpler time.
