I'm finishing SINK THE SUB

Jake O’Reilly commands the In-school Suspension Team (ISS) like a hero from a World War II-movie. Jake and his fifth-grade classmates are chronic offenders, breaking or bending most of the school rules on purpose. Staying in ISS has become a fine art, and sinking each substitute teacher that comes their way is a matter of pride.

Jake commands his troops to victory until the day an Irish granny arrives as the permanent substitute. Her mission to divide and conquer leaves Jake with a mutiny on his hands.

Through each battle, Jake discovers that like his own Nana, this sub sees everything and knows everything. His legend demands that he sink this sub and win the war against all bullies. Will Jake’s crew mutiny and end up back in the regular classroom, facing bullies in the halls of humiliation? Will he ever find an adult he can trust? Will he and his friends ever be winners?

My granddaughter Makayla was #1 on a girl in her elementary school's "Kill List." I saw both walk their lonesome valley showing God's grace. My Sister the Cheerleader
At thirteen, Makay the main character decides she can no longer wait for the angel Gabriel to pop up with a cosmic plan for her life. No way will she hide in her sister’s shadow. Makay takes her battle for individuality to the beach. When trying to impress the in-crowd leads to humiliation, Makay rethinks her plan. That plan includes trying out for a competitive cheer team. Will she survive the mean girls’ sabotage and make the cheer team? Will she ever be special like her sister, the cheerleader?

In this humorous and yet poignant story, Makay’s need for revenge grows stronger than her faith. Makay’s problems may sound familiar. Bullies are everywhere! Chapter devotionals have been added to this book to echo her problems and help the reader find a stronger faith. It’s my prayer that each young reader knows that God’s Spirit cheers for you in each success and each trial. He runs on the field with you in all you do. He whispers guidance and love over you. You are a winner on His team.

“North Carolina and Virginia Boundary. 1 ° On the 27th of February, 1728, William Byrd, Will Dandridge, and Richard Fitzwilliam, as commissioners from Virginia, met Edward Moseley, C. Gale, Will Little and J. Lovick, as commissioners from North Carolina, at Corotuck Inlet, and began the survey on the 27th day of March, and continued it till the weather got "warm enough to give life and vigor to the rattlesnakes" in the beginning of April, when they stopped till September 20, when the survey was renewed; and after going a certain distance beyond their own inhabitants the North Carolina commissioners refused to proceed further, and protested against the Virginia commissioners proceeding further with it.”
John Preston Arthur, Western North Carolina; a history

Andrew Murray
“Christ teaches us to pray not only by example, instruction, command, and promises but also by showing us that He is our ever-living intercessor. When we believe this and abide in Him for our prayer life too, our fears of not being able to pray correctly will vanish. We will joyfully and triumphantly trust our Lord to teach us to pray and to be the life and power of our prayers. May God open our eyes to see what the glorious ministry of intercession is to which we as His royal priesthood have been set apart. May He help us to believe what mighty influence our prayers can have, and may all fear of being unable to fulfill our calling vanish as we grasp the truth that Jesus is living in us and interceding for us. —Andrew Murray”

“You can’t know what God’s purpose is for the things that have happened until you see the end. It’s like the end of a good story, miss. Everything looks real bad until you get to the last chapter.”
