"Sparrow Hawk Red" by Ben Mikalesen


Ricky was a normal boy living with only his father for his mother had died years earlier. Ricky was a whiz at flying, having been taught by his stunt-pulling father. Until the day he heard about the truth of how his mother died, he was told it was a car crash. The real reason for her death was a drug smuggling company in Mexico. This was found out by some DEA agents, where his a=father used to work at, they had come over to get help from Ricky's father. Ricky leaves his home and skips school to go into Mexico and pretend to be a ratero, or street rat. Ricky makes a very unusual friend, Soledad, and she works very hard at earning money, but never getting enough. Ricky sneaks into the drug company to steal an aircraft they are harboring to smuggle drugs across the border. Ricky got into the Sparrowhawk, making his escape and flying home. His father helped him escape in his own aircraft, Baby Great Lakes, being Ricky's wingman. Ricky is praised for his efforts and will probably never get rid of the satisfaction of helping his home country out. Still, Ricky made a promise to Soledad-that he would help her... and her family.

"Unwind" by Neal Shusterman


"In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would 'unwind' them." Three teens, Conner, Risa, and Lev, are all going to be unwound. Conner caused a lot of trouble ad his parents didn't want a child like that in their family. Risa is an orphan, the government doesn't want to pay so much for her to be taken care of. And Lev was signed up to be unwound before birth. In a very unlikely experience all three of the teen meet, and stay together to help one another. In order to live, they must get to their eighteenth birthdays, but with a country that wants every teen unwound from their heads to their toes, eighteen doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon. After being shipped from one safe house to another, they finally get to the graveyard, literally a graveyard for airplanes. In a steamy desert where anyone could die of heat stroke, there are plenty of rules, and a killer, they might just live. Neal Shusterman, author of Everlost, has made the most thrilling, scary, and ominous story of all-time.
