by Annette Laing<p>When Hannah and Alex Dias moved with their dad from California to the little Southern town of Snipesville, they didn't expect excitement, much less time travel. But that's what they got.With new friend Brandon Clark, they've survived random, bizarre, and downright dangerous trips to two World Wars, the Victorian era, and the backwoods of Colonial America. Weirder still, all their travels in time involve the little English town of Balesworth, and they have no idea why. Professor Harrower, their mentor, certainly isn't telling. <p>Now, in the final exciting book of The Snipesville Chronicles, the three reluctant time travelers arrive at the dawn of the 20th century. Hannah, in England, must persuade a wayward teen to become the woman she is supposed to be, while Brandon and Alex must push sinister and segregated Snipesville toward a better future, even as the clock ticks down to the terrible event that local people will one day call "We Don't Talk About That." If they fail, everything will end in disaster. Or will it? <p>One Way or Another, it will take every bit of courage and time-traveling wisdom for Hannah, Brandon, and Alex to bring The Snipesville Chronicles series to its startling conclusion, as they uncover the secrets of the most extraordinary year of their lives.</p>
One Way or Another
by Kara McDowellThe average person makes 35,000 decisions every single day. That's about 34,999 too many for Paige Collins, who lives in debilitating fear of making the wrong choice. The simple act of picking an art elective is enough to send her into a spiral of what-ifs. What if she's destined to be a famous ceramicist but wastes her talent in drama club? What if there's a carbon monoxide leak in the ceramics studio and everyone drops dead? (Grim, but possible!)That's why when Paige is presented with two last-minute options for Christmas vacation, she's paralyzed by indecision. Should she go with her best friend (and longtime crush) Fitz to his family's romantic mountain cabin? Or should she accompany her mom to New York, a city Paige has spent her whole life dreaming about?Just when it seems like Paige will crack from the pressure of choosing, fate steps in -- in the form of a slippery grocery store floor -- and Paige's life splits into two very different parallel paths. One path leads to New York where Paige falls for the city . . . and the charms of her unexpected tour guide. The other leads to the mountains where Paige might finally get her chance with Fitz . . . until her anxiety threatens to ruin everything.However, before Paige gets her happy ending in either destiny, she'll have to face the truth about her struggle with anxiety -- and learn that you don't have to be "perfect" to deserve true love.
