Colorado Springs, Co. (February 19, 2024)—Focus on the Family, in alliance with Tyndale House Publishers, will release a new YA title and a new kids title in the summer of 2024. The new books—Running on Empty and Dolphins in Danger—equip parents to raise their children with thriving faith.
Running on Empty | Riverbend Friends #7
Running on Empty returns to the lives of four friends as they deal with teen life in Riverbend, Indiana. One of the girls, Izzy, has tried all sorts of hobbies, games, and sports to find her identity. She still loves art and showing off her baking creations, but she grapples with doubts and the feeling that there is something missing. Meanwhile, Izzy considers whether her friendship with her cute neighbor, Cody, could evolve into something more.
When everyone has a smartphone, access to inappropriate or hurtful content can affect mental health and damage relationships. Gossip and misinformation spread quickly in the age of technology: It seems that everyone Izzy is close to has something dark lurking beneath the surface.
The novel inspires young women to deepen their relationships with God as they face real-life issues and solve their problems in God-honoring ways.
Dolphins in Danger | Magnificent Mulligans #5
When Mike Mulligan gets a call from a friend who needs help with a distressed dolphin, he and his daughter drive up the coast to try to help. But a big storm in the forecast is going to make this mission difficult.
Meanwhile, the other Mulligans are excited about new opportunities. Julie is learning to take care of flamingoes, Janelle is learning to play tennis, and Nick is learning to fly an airplane.
Through these adventures, the Mulligan family learns how to stick together, protect the vulnerable, and stand up for what’s right.
