Book 3: The Lab – The worst snowstorm in years means Justin and Troy are trapped in a farmhouse with strangers. They seem nice enough. But things aren’t always what they seem. Introduce emergent teen readers to the concept of a series, where each book leaves you wanting more. Incorporating vivid graphic elements, this three-book series will attract students interested in reading edgier material. Each 64-page book is approximately two thousand five hundred words. Troy and Justin have been through a lot together. But Troy has had enough of street life. He cleans up his act. Finds a job. Takes classes at night. Justin is the same fun-loving guy he’s always been. He hops from job to job. But he prefers mooching off his girlfriend. About to get dumped, Justin is glum. Then Troy suggests a road trip.
