 | Ulster Alien by Stephen Birkett
Meet Matthew Woodhead -- a sensitive child with his beloved best friend Danny; an awkward teenager struggling to fit in with the gang; a young gay man on the brink of coming out. But in Northern Ireland everything is more complicated. Matthew's journey to adulthood takes place against a background of civil rights protests, terrorist bombings, and the Save Ulster From Sodomy campaign. A world where young lives are destroyed by murder, and young minds by sectarian bigotry. Closely modeled on his own experience, Stephen Birkett portrays a world where the bonds of male friendship are strong, but a gay identity is that much harder to attain. AUTHOR: Stephen Birkett

 | Mind Catcher by Dick Hill, John Darnton
In New York City, two neurosurgeon colleagues are conducting separate and highly secret experiments. When the barely-alive body of a much-loved 12-year-old boy named Tyler comes in, his brain damaged by a freak accident, the two scientists decide to collaborate. Their results are highly unpredictable; Tyler's mind does not behave the way either of them expected; instead, it actually merges with their computer to create an entirely new kind of entity, existing in cyber-space. It's up to the ones who love him best to try to bring him back AUTHOR: Dick Hill, John Darnton
