Ongoing Fundraisers

Pre-teen Fiction: "The Basker Twins in the 31st Century: Danger at the Clone Academy" by Kristi Wright who is donating 75% of her royalties from the sale of this book to FA research.
     When twelve-year-old twins, Elsie and Everest, are forced to attend their uncle’s boarding school for clones while their parents are off-world on a secret mission, little do they expect to have a dangerous adventure themselves. The year is 3002, the place is Northern California, and on the surface, thirty-first-century Earth is a virtual paradise with no war, violent crime, homelessness, poverty, or disease.   http://www.baskertwins.com/
