AJ does not, under any circumstances, want to spend an entire month living with her strict Grandma Jo. Not only does her grandmother tell her how to walk, what to eat, and which rooms she can enter, she fills all of AJ’s free time with boring sewing lessons! Grandma Jo wants nothing more than to transform her adventurous, fun-loving granddaughter into a prim and proper lady…and AJ hates it. But AJ’s dull summer takes an exciting turn when she discovers that her grandmother’s “bridge group” is actually a club of crooks! And when Grandma Jo offers to teach AJ lock picking instead of embroidery in exchange for help with a few capers, AJ is thrilled to join her grandmother’s madcap band of thieves who claim to steal only for ethical reasons. But even the most respectable ladies can hide some truly surprising secrets, and AJ must decide for herself what it truly means to be one of the good guys.

Betty Zane: Ohio: The American Frontier, 1782: In the last battle of the American Revolution, British forces besiege Fort Henry. With the defenders running out of food and ammunition, sixteen-year-old Betty Zane volunteers to retrieve a gunpowder cache hidden outside the fort. Her brazen bravery--she makes the trip in broad daylight--stuns the Americans' enemies and inspires her countrymen to successfully resist the siege. To The Last Man: Arizona: The American Frontier, 1880s: The range wars have been raging in the Tonto Basin for years as cattlemen and sheep ranchers vie for territory. At the heart of the bloody battle are the Isbels--shepherds and ranchers--and the Jorths, who have turned to cattle rustling. Gaston Isbel and Lee Jorth have vowed to destroy each other and their families and allies--to the last man, if need be. Neither man realizes that Isbel's half-Native American son, Jean, and Jorth's only daughter, Ellen, have fallen in love. Can love turn the tide of war, or will both families be annihilated?
