[I discuss all of the above in *Lighting Out for the Territory*(1997)]
Other works I came across after my book came out include:

by Gerry Brenner
*Tom's Lawyer* (2001) by Peter J. Heck
*Test of Time* (2001) by Charles Harrington Elster [this imaginative
time-travel adventure story that incorporates vocabulary from the SAT
and the ACT is
written by a former student of mine from Yale; it makes a good gift
for high school students]
"My Jim" (2006) by Nancy Rawles
"Finn" (2007) by John Clinch
All the best,
Shelley
