L P Hansen writes about real kids in real adventures. About teenagers finding their true strengths as they respond to issues like threatened environments, bullying in schools, over-ambitious parents, consumerist cultures, the hidden faces of war and slavery. They’re fast-paced stories for adolescents already involved in change, questioning social and cultural controls as they depart from childhood. There’s friendship, romance, audacity, disguise and mischief as young protagonists from different cultures take up challenges. All books include sources for further reading.
