Samantha Bridge wants nothing more in life than to play basketball, so when she makes a bet with her mother regarding her school grades, everything Sam loves is at stake. 

--------------------

Being a freshman in high school isn't easy, but, when Sam makes a bet with her mother, she'll have to do whatever she can to keep her grades up if she wants to continue playing basketball. 

Owners of a science laboratory and Harvard graduates, Sam's parents have set high expectations for their kids, but when David faces a change of heart, will the couple be able to reconcile or will their contrasting opinions on how to raise their children drive them apart? 

Having watched older brother Nick change from an athletic boy into a nerdy teenager, through the mischievous work of their mother, Sam is now willing to do almost anything to help get her real brother back and stop her mother's reign of evil. 

Troubles at school and love triangles cause the two siblings to rekindle their once loving bond and Bridge Goes Further must make a big discovery soon if they hope to keep their sponsors and stay in business. 

Will David ever step up and become the leader of the family or will he continue to let his wife destroy the family piece by piece? Is the Bridge family capable of accepting one another as who they are, or will lies and secrets become a natural part of their daily lives?

Try-State Area by BridgesTunnels

According to her brother, high school sophomore Emily Randazzo has a "GPS brain" which set her route and won't let her try a new one. But as far as Emily is concerned, her whole life has been spent in trials - like trying to decide whether she should live in Brooklyn with her strict Mom or suburban Jersey with her lenient Dad - or trying to figure out how other people's brains work and why hers is so different from theirs - or trying to navigate when she should stand firm in her ways, versus being flexible for others. After so many years struggling to fit in and be happy, Emily finally feels that she's found her lane in life. She's attending an all-girl school that she loves, made some good friends like her bestie Jenny, and set a goal to be accepted to Yale University. So of course she doesn't want to change direction now! However, a weekend visit to the relaxed rules at her father's home puts new detours in Emily's path, starting in the form of two boys: her brother's best friend Kelly, and next-door-neighbor Evan. Soon enough Emily begins to wonder if she should recalculate. Divided between two parents, two states, two boys and the possibilities of two extremely different lives, Emily is trying to figure out who, what and where she wants to be in her future.
