What’s up with Cali? Why does she keep changing her gamer tag? It’s summertime, and even though his good friend Cali moved to another city, Jaden can connect with her online almost every day to play their favorite game, Cross Ups. His mom has loosened her rules on how often he can play, and he has an amazing new controller that will make him even better at tournaments. But then he gets roped into a dorky summer camp with his buddy Hugh, and Cali starts acting really weird . . . So when a last-minute tournament spot opens up in Cali’s city, Jaden jumps at the chance to go. But things go badly from the start. Jaden loses his controller on the train, and his reunion with Cali is awkward. She’s unhappy, and Jaden can’t figure out why, especially when she’s getting better and better at Cross Ups—and may even win the tournament. With its sharp dialogue and relatable characters, Anyone’s Game, the second book in the Cross Ups series, chronicles the ups and downs of middle school with a relevant, contemporary twist.

Book 5 of Colin Limmerick's adventures The fifth book of D.L. Narrol's time travel series has the same steampunk 1912 time-travelers venture again via Dr. Dimitrikov's time machine. They've somehow adopted a misplaced cave lion, an ill-behaved Neanderthal and Olga, the assistant commander of the KGB from their future; The Soviet Union (1970). Captain Limmerick, tries to have his new companions assisted back to their time periods, but not all goes as planned. Dr. Dimitrikov discovered nuclear fuel when they had previously traveled to the U.S.S.R, in previous book Arctic Quest, but is inept on how to use it. They land in 1992, to discover the KGB has been over-run with corrupt pseudo-capitalism. The time machine's control panel is, by mistake, tampered with by the hostile Neanderthal, which leads the time travelers to Johannesburg, South Africa (1900), during the Anglo-Boer War. Captain Limmerick evaded this war twelve years prior, in his own time period; but, is compelled to involve himself because of his religious beliefs and his love and admiration for a victimized Zulu woman. Limmerick's distaste for war comes into play, where he changes history forever.
