Saving Jake: When Addiction Hits Home by Award-Winning Author D’Anne Burwell
Burwell’s smart, athletic son-raised in a loving and prosperous home-began abusing OxyContin as a teenager, and within a year had dropped out of college, walked out of rehab, and landed homeless on the streets of Boulder. In SAVING JAKE, Burwell captures the crippling impact of a family disease-a husband’s anger, a daughter’s depression, an addict’s agonizing journey toward recovery. Struggling with fear, guilt, and a desperate need to protect her son, the author discovers the terrifying links between prescription-drug abuse and skyrocketing heroin use, and comes to understand that to save her child she must step back and allow him to fight for his own soul.

Science goes intergalactic with Galaxyz
Galxyz is a science education app for tablet computers (or playable online) intended for children in upper elementary school (third grade and up: the ability to read is a requirement for independent play). It’s based on the Next Generation Science Standards, the first interactive learning experience to do so. The app uses a narrative structure in which a young blue-skinned person named Thalo (you can choose a male or female version) walks through an icy landscape and meets a small flying squirrel-like creature. The creature turns out to be Grit, a Chakkaran on a mission to protect the Tome and guard scientific knowledge. Grit guides Thalo through text to explore aspects of science, and, along the way, teaches scientific terminology and concepts.
