Running From Reality
$8.99Add to cartAllie Carroway is done. With reality TV that is. It seemed fun at first, to be part of a famous family, but life gets embarrassing and challenging especially when every detail of your life is filmed for the world to see. Allie’s cousins, Kendall, Ruby, Lola, and Hunter have had enough too. Each one has experienced some embarrassment, and lately it seems that all they do is complain about the show and how they don’t like having everyone know what is going on in their lives. But when the cousins call a strike, they are quickly reminded that they can’t go back on a decision they made as a family.
But Papaw Ray has a surprise for the kids. He sends them on a trip to escape reality. With hunting season and the holidays just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to take a trip and escape the show-but on one condition. They can’t tell anyone about their adventures, no matter how fun, challenging, or even amazing they are. No cameras or pictures allowed.
Allie, her cousins, and the family head for California and warmer weather, only to find that what’s in store will be the hardest secret they’ve ever had to keep. Especially when what they learn, and the ways God allows them to help others, can give people hope and be light for all to see.
This series explores the nature of a family filled with social, cultural, and physical diversity. In a world splashed with class and camouflage, the cousins are constantly looking for ways to love unconditionally through all the hiccups, with the love and faith of family.

Allies Bayou Rescue
$8.99Add to cartLife hasn’t been easy lately for twelve-year-old Allie Carroway. Not only does she have to be careful about what she eats and keep her asthma treatment with her at all times, but rumor has it that if she has one more serious asthma attack, her family may move to Arizona-far away from the Louisiana Bayou and the extended family that she loves and stars with in the reality TV show, Carried Away with the Carroways.
And now would be a terrible time to go. Uncle Wayne and Aunt Kassie are about to adopt twelve-year-old Hunter-the first boy to join the Carroway family in a long time. Allie and her cousins-Kendall, Ruby, and Lola-have never allowed a boy to set foot in their treehouse meeting place, the “Diva Duck Blind.” And if Allie’s cousins have any say, they’ll keep it that way. But Allie can’t ignore that still, small voice inside her, telling her things must change if Hunter is to be honored and accepted into the family.
The cousins devise an initiation for Hunter at Mamaw and Papaw’s house with four challenges-Louisiana bayou style-including frogs, hunting, and a scary shed rumored to be the place where a mysterious long lost uncle disappeared. A blackout on the bayou the night of the initiation heightens the stakes when Hunter goes missing, and Allie and the girls must face unfamiliar obstacles to bring the family back together.

Riley Mae And The Sole Fire Safari
$8.99Add to cartIf you’re gonna run for your life, you gotta wear the right shoes.
Pre-teen shoe model Riley Mae laces up her flaming orange Sole Fire running shoes for another ad campaign-this time in Kenya, Africa! Kenya is the perfect place for runners to train, with its high elevation and encouragement from Olympic athletes. It’s also a great hiding place for Riley and her Swiftriver friends from so-called enemies back in the United States … but for how long?
Adjusting to a new culture is difficult. Every chore is tiring, school is miles away, and there’s always the threat of a lurking lion that can ruin everything. But after spending time with the children and Christian women in her friend Sunday’s remote village, Riley finds herself growing stronger and praying for God to use her to spread the good news. Her prayers are answered in exciting and startling ways when she meets an orphaned girl seeking answers at a children’s home, but also when an error in judgment causes her to stumble into a surprise meeting with the enemy.

Soon she’s appearing in commercials and magazine ads, and every girl in town wants to wear Riley Mae shoes. Well, except for Riley. Because walking in those shoes means missing out on softball season, making her best friend TJ mad, and embarrassing her new friend, Rusty. It also means sneaking around, hiding, and keeping secrets—because suddenly something isn’t quite right at Swiftriver. But a contract’s a contract, so Riley laces up her ‘Rock Shocker’ hiking boots for a climb up Half-Dome in Yosemite. Will they be the right shoes to get her back on solid ground?

Riley Mae And The Ready Eddy Rapids
$14.99Add to cartLife’s a rapid, go against the flow.
Life is rapidly changing for pre-teen shoe spokesperson Riley Mae Hart. First she and her family are victims of an attack atop the top of Half-Dome in Yosemite, and they have to hide out in a rugged mountain town. Next comes a plane malfunction, then a friend asks Riley for help with her mom, and the rigorous raft training for the “Ready Eddy” river sandal campaign brings more bumps and bruises. Riley thinks life can’t get any worse. But then she meets Sunday, a 10 year-old boy from Kenya, who wrestles fish, battles bears, and tackles leukemia. Riley soon learns that life is as unpredictable as the raging waters, which, if she is not careful, will sweep her away and into the hands of the enemy—who is even closer than she thinks.
