All About Us is set in Chicago, and follows four high school friends as they define their friendships with each other. The emphasis is inward as the girls learn from each other, whether the point is to respect a family's rules, or to let your parents help you when your pride might get in the way. These girls are an interesting group - an athlete, a social crusader, a singer/composer, and a rich diva -- but they are all smart and ambitious. They use their different talents, perspectives, and family experiences to illustrate alternative approaches to understanding and solving problems. The basketball player's approach to a big loss teaches the singer how to overcome her stage fright. When the African-American girl avidly works on the Black Students' fund-raiser, the others understand racial isolation for the first time. The girls come to appreciate that every person has unique gifts; it is their duty as friends to make sure they share their gifts with each other.

Skate comes fromthe perspective of a "culture" based on a sport. The central character is a teen who is trying to break out of athletic mediocrity and become an explosive skater. Yet, he's got other obligations, like school, college and long term security, which totally conflict with embracing the skater's lifestyle of bravado and risk. Balancing competing goals is the underlying struggle of our main character's life, which is spiked by specific situations that test his moral fiber and his decision-making ability. Through a strong relationship with his father and close friends, our kid learns how to establish priorities, become a professional, and develop a good sense of judgment about people and situations.
