Throwing caution to the wind, Ben decides to pursue his dream girl and ask Angela out. If she says yes, it will be a miracle . . . but miracles do happen!

Peter's psyched to run a day camp for the Junior Explorers. It's a big commitment, but he knows he can pull it off, especially if Jenna helps.

New Beginnings (Clearwater Crossing, #7) (Clearwater Crossing)

Amid the hustle and bustle of preparing for Christmas, Nicole can barely find a moment to breathe. She can't wait for winter break--until her parents drop a big bombshell.

But the fun stops short when an Explorer disappears, and Eight Prime must find the child before it's too late.

One Real Thing (Clearwater Crossing, Book 8)

Not only did Melanie fail to resolve her feelings about her mother's death, she did what she swore she never would: she let Jesse into her life. Ben's never kissed anyone--and it's really starting to bother him. And Leah's getting ready to compete in the national finals of the modeling contest she reluctantly entered.

Keep the Faith (Clearwater Crossing #6)

Eight Prime is this close to buying a school bus for needy kids. They ought to be ecstatic. And they are--kind of. Nicole couldn't wait to have weekends to herself...but now she realizes how empty her life really is. Not only is Miguel mad at Leah for spying on him, he's freaking out over his mom's impending kidney transplant...and a promise he made in a desperate moment. Happy holidays for Melanie? Yeah, right. This year she's putting on a brave face: Amy, one of the underprivileged kids Peter introduced her to, is her houseguest! Ben can't stand watching his new friends drift apart, and Jesse can't believe his bad luck--his fund-raising days may be almost through, but his football coach has given him his toughest charity assignment yet. And Jenna still can't get over the fact that she kissed, well, him! Maybe achieving their goal isn't the end...just the beginning of everything else.

Just Friends (Clearwater Crossing #5) (Clearwater Crossing)

Bonfires, pep assemblies, and football: Spirit week has kicked into high gear at Clearwater Crossing High! All Nicole can think about is getting Jesse to take her to the homecoming dance, but he's not in a partying mood. Nothing matters now that he's off the Wildcats....

Everything matters to Jenna these days. Dealing with her sisters, earning good grades, getting over Miguel...more than ever, Jenna needs a friend she can count on. She needs Peter. But has her best friend in the world found someone he likes better? Ben is on a mission--to fit in! He thought being part of Eight Prime would solve all his problems, but he's still invisible at school, and his new friends don't really seem to accept him. Then Ben hits on a plan. If everything goes right, he'll be the toast of CCHS....

The Diaries (Clearwater Crossing)

Jenna, Leah, Melanie, and Nicole reveal their most private thoughts
in this first-ever Clearwater Crossing Diary Special!

Jenna . . . I hope I'm a pretty good person. I try to be. But things happen, and sometimes I mess up. You try living with five sisters.
Leah . . . Does being so wrapped up with Miguel mean I'm missing out? Because I promised myself I'd never miss anything for a guy. Ever.
Melanie . . . Everyone thinks that being Melanie Andrews must be so great. Well, let me tell you--it's not. Not even close.
Nicole . . . No guy is ever going to like me. It doesn't matter how much weight I lose, or how I wear my makeup, or even how I dress. Because I'm not good enough inside--and I think somehow they sense it.
Laura Peyton Roberts is the author of all titles in the Clearwater Crossing series.

Promises, Promises (Clearwater Crossing, Book 4)

Halloween is around the corner, and Eight Prime is putting in a lot of hours working on a spooky haunted house fund-raiser. It's the perfect opportunity for Leah and Miguel to bring their budding relationship into the open among their friends. So what is Miguel so afraid of?

Jesse's off the football team--maybe forever. If he can't convince Coach Davis that he's given up drinking, he can give up his NFL dreams for good. Jesse's ready to promise the coach anything to get back on the Wildcats. But promises can be hard to keep....

Melanie would never have believed she'd be interested in a do-gooder like Peter. Yet lately he's the only thing she thinks about. Not that she's falling for him, or anything dumb like that. She and Peter would make a terrible couple. Wouldn't they?
