Sports Stories series.
Eighth-grader Daisy Howson feels like her world is falling apart. Her father is out of work, and her fellow track team members are turning against one another. Daisy tries earnestly to make everything better, yet her attempts only complicate things. The formulaic story's fast pace, along with Daisy's fix-it attitude, may attract readers.

Orca Currents series.
Dylan and his friends cause a near-fatal accident by throwing rock-laced snowballs at passing cars. When Dylan stays behind to help, he's hailed as a hero. He struggles with his conscience and, predictably, eventually confesses. The warm reception he gets from his would-be victim strains credulity and the characters are two dimensional, but Dylan's road to the truth may engage readers.
