  Cover illustration by Peter Ambush "Eddie's Ordeal" (Just Us Books, $3.95), book #4 in the NEATE series created by Wade Hudson, takes readers inside a struggle between Eddie Delaney and his dad. Eddie thinks his dad expects too much. His dad thinks Eddie works too little. Will they ever get along? Here's a description from Just Us Books: "Thirteen year old Eddie Delaney loves his dad. But sometimes he wishes that he’d lighten up. His father, a lawyer who grew up during the civil rights movement expects nothing but the best from his only son. And with Eddie’s success as a starter on the basketball team, and his good grades, Mr. Delaney’s been getting it. Then Eddie brings home a D in language arts and everything changes. His parents make him quit the team. And now Eddie’s lost the one thing he knows he’s good at, the very thing that had helped bring him and his dad together. Why is his dad so hard on him? Eddie’s friends decide to find out. But when they dig into Mr. Delaney’s past they uncover a secret that rocks the foundation of the already unsteady father-son relationship, and changes Eddie’s life forever."
