Can you imagine your wildest dream coming true? 15-year old Stephanie Trimberger, a young Seattle writer with brain cancer, just found out.

Always a fan of YA and books to escape the difficult realities of her life, Trimberger wanted to write her own book that might help other kids like her. Not just write it but get it edited by the same editors as Harry Potter and published.

School lunches just got a whole lot worse --or better, depending on who you ask.

The Health Hungry-Free Kids Act implemented this fall required healthier food choices and calorie restrictions for the 32 million students that eat school lunch.
