Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collection of the first four book of The Antioch Adventures serial series. Welcome to Antioch College: After many years of vacancy, Antioch College is coming back to life. Through renovation and restructuring done by its new president, this small liberal arts school calls in its first class in several years. But this isn't good news for some. Evan Morgan, an antisocial and anxious young man, arrives for his first day of orientation. Drawn in by several unheard of perks as well as the school's size, Evan is quickly taken off guard by the eccentricity of both the new student body and the staff members. As his first day goes by, Evan can't help but wonder what exactly he's gotten himself into. Timid New World: As classes and life begin at Antioch College, Evan Morgan is finding it harder and harder to avoid his infatuation with his headstrong and intriguing roommate, Emily. But, neighbor Brad has the perfect plan to get Evan to start sinking or swimming. Elsewhere, Wes and Amanda are taken off guard by a serious, campus-wide problem and the frailty of Antioch becomes much more apparent. The Street Fair: Just as everyone at Antioch is getting into the college routine, something comes to town that shakes it all up. The Yellow Springs Street Fair, a biannual, village-wide festival comes to town and gives everyone different ideas about what this celebration holds. Wes sees it as an attack on the capitalist status quo he's worked to preserve for so long, although Amanda tries to convince him otherwise. Meanwhile, Evan sees the fair as an opportunity to get closer to his roommate, Emily. But, as Amanda already knows, nobody can truly predict what happens when Street Fair comes to town. Powerless: Winter has come to Antioch College. Cold weather controls the campus and snow has blanketed the town, but that doesn't keep the students from having fun outdoors. Evan and Emily, now inseparable friends, are working on a wintertime project of their own, hoping to finish before the school's winter break comes. But, when a catastrophic failure with the school's power grid leaves the entire campus without heat or power, the project is stalled and everyone has to struggle to find some way to stay warm as the season's worst storm rears its head over the now cold and dark college. Book five is coming soon!
