Business Baby Getting Things Done, One Tantrum at a Time • By Alex Beckerman

Little tykes may not have MBAs or PowerPoint skills, but every parent knows who’s boss. And it’s not the one who can count to three. It’s only natural: the toddler skill set is perfectly suited to the corporate world. They’re incredibly good at delegating, they’re (literally) climbers, and they’ll happily give you the business all day long. From troubleshooting how to fit the square peg into the round hole to negotiating deals when both parties can’t count on the fingers of one hand, this book of high-chairperson drama will have you laughing out loud at these captioned portraits of business babies getting to work! Alex Beckerman is a writer taking care of business in Austin, Texas.

Baking with Less Sugar Recipes for Desserts Using Natural Sweeteners and Little-to-No White Sugar • By Joanne Chang • Photographs by Joseph De Leo

Trust Joanne Chang—beloved author of the bestselling Flour and a Harvard math major to boot—to come up with this winning formula: Minus the sugar equals plus the flavor. The 60-plus recipes here are an eye-opener for anyone who loves to bake and wants to cut back on the sugar. Joanne warmly shares her secrets for playing up delicious ingredients and using natural sweeteners, such as honey, maple syrup, and fruit juice. In addition to entirely new go-to recipes, she’s also revisited classics from Flour and her lines-out-the-door bakeries to use minimal refined sugar. More than 35 mouthwatering photographs beautifully illustrate these revolutionary recipes, making this a must-have book for bakers of all skill levels.

“ It’s hard to believe that Flour is Joanne Chang’s first book, because the level of mastery, precision, and experience in it make it feel like the work of someone who’s been showing new bakers the light and the way for a very long time.” —National Public Radio, “Ten Best Books of 2010”

Joanne Chang is the pastry chef–owner of Flour Bakery + Café in Boston. Joseph De Leo is a food photographer based in New York.

Way More than Luck

From Rain to Rainbows

Commencement Speeches on Living with Bravery, Empathy, and Other Existential Skills

This sweet and modern little gift book proves that after the rain always comes the rainbow. A treasure trove of delightful work by favorite indie art stars and emerging talents, this cheering collection echoes the uplifting transformation of rain into rainbows: the book begins with raindrops and umbrellas, transitions midway through, and concludes with a glorious bouquet of colorful rainbows. Perfect for bringing smiles to anyone who needs a little pick-me-up, this petite book of feel-good art is a reminder to appreciate the dark with the light, because nothing stays the same forever— and things are about to look a whole lot brighter.

The commencement speech is the most popular public address of our time, shared every spring and remembered for years. Here, in an anthology of some of the finest of the genre, brilliant creative minds in every sector offer their wisdom: David Foster Wallace on living a compassionate life, Debbie Millman on the importance of taking risks, Michael Lewis on the responsibility that good fortune merits—and so many other greats. Some of this advice is grand (believe in the impossible), and some of it is granular enough to check off a life list (donate five percent of your money or your time). All of it is universally uplifting. Handsomely packaged with a cloth spine and energetic typography throughout, this book is a smart, special gift for graduates and anyone embarking on a new adventure.

By Willie Witte

The word “lost” was taking on a new meaning for me. I found myself waking up regularly in the middle of the night, squinting into the darkness, and wondering, “Where am I?” I would slowly regain consciousness, the dimly lit walls coming into focus and restoring a vague sense of familiarity. I was, of course, in my temporary home on wheels, a big green RV. One morning, not long after I’d finally settled back into sleep, my cell phone alarm started to buzz, waking me for another leg of our journey. I fished through the couch cushions to find my phone and glanced at the date on its screen: July 21. We’d been out on the road twenty-eight days. How people survived before GPS is beyond me. By this stage of our trip I’d reached a special level of disorientation, a kind of land-borne jetlag I’d developed by having to

Willie Witte’s business card reads “Professional Roadtripper.” Seriously, it does. With over 50,000 miles clocked in Roadtrip Nation’s Green RV, he has now set foot in 49 of the 50 United States (someday he’ll make it to North Dakota!). More important, as a cameraman for the Roadtrip Nation television series he has been behind the lens for nearly 200 interviews with inspiring people from all walks of life. When Willie was on the Roadtrip he describes here, he had recently left his small hometown of Sandpoint, Idaho, and was filming a team of Roadtrippers from the similarly small town of Stevensville, Montana. Five years later, Willie still regards this experience as one of the most

navigate the streets of a new location every two or three days. The Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. It had been Knoxville before that, and before that Atlanta, New Orleans, Austin, Santa Fe, Roswell, Sedona, and Los Angeles. On July 21 it was Cleveland, and we were, once again, lost. “Oh, wait,” I stuttered from the passenger seat, “this thing is telling us we’re going the wrong way. Hold on.” It’s no surprise we were off track, considering most of us in the RV had never been east of the Mississippi before. I watched as the GPS recalibrated. “Yeah, um . . . Sorry, we need to turn around.” My fatigue, however, went deeper than the grind of the road. After weeks on the road, the mental burnout factor is real, but there was a side to it that was the best kind of exhaustion possible. It grew from the saturation of stories and wisdom we’d been soaking up at each stop. Like everyone else on the trip, I’d grown up in my own bubble that was slowly starting to burst. Raised in a rural country town, my roadmap had been clearly defined by the Noise, boldly marked with plenty of “Do not cross” lines that told me where I didn’t belong, what I was not capable of, and what I should be afraid of trying. My own fevered mind had drawn a few of those lines itself. But out here on the road, absorbing story after story, those lines were starting to diminish. The big question emerging now was: without all these borders, how am I supposed to know where to go next? The man we were en route to meet this overcast Cleveland morning promised to be a welcome addition to this choir of new voices in my head. Up to this point, our only knowledge of him came from a magazine article about the Most Interesting People in Cleveland. The short bio went like this: Van Taylor Monroe is a custom shoe artist. He handpaints tennis shoes. For money. His clients include Will.i.Am, T.I., and P. Diddy. One of his works, a pair of Nike Air Force 1s featuring an iconic

impactful in his life.

Roadtrip Nation was founded in 2004 by Nathan Gebhard, Mike Marriner, and Brian McAllister and has grown into a long-running public television series, an educational organization, and a movement of people committed to living lives true to their interests.

Rock, Meet Window A Father– Son Story • By Jason Good

This funny and poignant memoir from celebrated familyman blogger Jason Good delves into the magic, fails, and meaning of fatherhood. Here he shares the story of his father, a charismatic, communicative, and affectionate man who taught him how to live and how to be a dad to his own two young sons. The moment Jason was told he would lose his father to cancer, and the year that followed, inspired him to reflect on how an imperfect father can be perfection in all the ways that matter in the end. Exploring the highs, lows, and complications of fatherhood with tenderness and humor, Rock, Meet Window will have fathers (and mothers, too) thinking about those extraordinary qualities that make a good father so special to us all.

Studded with nuts, dipped in chocolate, or dotted with dried fruit, Italy’s unique twice-baked cookies have enduring appeal. Now Domenica Marchetti shows us how easy they are to make. One chapter swaps in savory ingredients, creating a delicious accent to a cheese platter. From traditional flavors (Hazelnut or Anise) and coffeehouse neoclassics (Cranberry-Pistachio) to tempting new versions (Browned Butter and Toblerone) and savory selections (Mountain Gorgonzola and Walnut), each enticing cookie offers a taste of heaven.

For those who think a rice cooker is a one-hit wonder, it’s time to think again. Lemon Chicken Soup with Orzo? Mixed Mushroom and Bulgur Risotto? Sausage and Broccoli Rabe with Farro? Yes, all can be made in a rice cooker! This practical cookbook details methods for preparing basic grains and collects 85 soups, stews, salads, side dishes, and complete meals, including lots of options for vegetarians and pescatarians. And the information on how to use a rice cooker to its fullest advantage—from basic, no-frills models to high-tech fuzzy-logic machines—makes it easy to put satisfying, delicious meals on the weeknight dinner table with minimal effort and maximum speed.

Domenica Marchetti is the author of five books, most recently The Glorious Vegetables of Italy. Her articles about Italian home cooking have appeared in Food & Wine, Fine Cooking, the Washington Post, and many other publications. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia.

Diane Phillips is a cooking instructor, food consultant, and awardwinning cookbook author. She lives in San Diego, California.

Good girls have good mothers. Extraordinary girls have extraordinary mothers. But deeply troubled girls? Oh, the old me knew all about them. Too much violence on the television. (Sad head shake.) Too much sugar. (Wise nod.) Too much pressure to leave childhood behind. Not enough laughter. Not enough fun. The old me had read the parenting books. The old me had an answer for everything. -From Hope & Other Luxuries

Hope and Other Luxuries A Mother’s Life with a Daughter’s Anorexia • By Clare B. Dunkle

Clare Dunkle seemed to have an ideal life—two beautiful, high-achieving teenage daughters, a loving husband, and a satisfying and successful career as a children’s book novelist. But it’s when you let down your guard that the ax falls. Just after one daughter successfully conquered her depression, another daughter developed a life-threatening eating disorder. Co-published with Elena Vanishing, the memoir of her daughter, this is the story—told in brave, beautifully written, and unflinchingly honest prose—of one family’s fight against a deadly disease, from an often ignored but important perspective: the mother of the anorexic. Clare B. Dunkle is an award-winning author of seven acclaimed fantasy novels, including The Hollow Kingdom Trilogy, winner of the 2004 Mythopoeic Award for Best Children’s Fantasy. A former Texan (and Texas librarian), Clare now lives in Germany.

In paintings as pretty as the porcelain they depict, this gift book celebrates one of the finest teacup collections in the world: the 300-piece archive of the Clark Art Institute, which dates back to the eighteenth century and represents coveted designs of the day from Europe and China. Artist Molly Hatch, with exclusive access to this largely unviewed collection, pored over the details of each cup to create this visual treat. Including page after page of paintings of the cups, and led off by introductory essays, this is both an intriguing reflection on the art of collecting and an utterly charming gift for tea drinkers and teacup collectors.

I Was an Awesomer Kid By Brad Getty

Face it: You were awesome when you were a kid. You feared nothing. You spoke your mind. You tried new things. You had imagination. Now you play by the rules, dress appropriately, and choose politeness over self-expression. Well, life’s too short for that and this book proves it. Vintage photographs of real kids doing awesome stuff—wearing footie pj’s, eating sugar cereal, napping, and showing off— accompany witty captions that poke fun at the doldrums of adult life and remind us to unleash our inner kid. With a hilarious dose of 80s and 90s nostalgia, just enough snark, and an ultimately uplifting message, I Was an Awesomer Kid is a great gift for all who are young at heart . . . or wish they still were!

At Large Ai Wei Wei on Alcatraz • Edited by David Spalding

Internationally renowned Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei is one of contemporary art’s most newsworthy figures, noted for both his groundbreaking work and his outspoken stance on human rights, which ultimately resulted in his controversial 2011 detainment. In an astonishing new large-scale project, he turns his attention to Alcatraz—a place he cannot visit because he is not permitted to leave China, but that stands as a world-famous symbol of both incarceration and protest. This book showcases a major exhibition of site-specific, multimedia installations and sculptures Ai Weiwei has created for the island, on view from the fall of 2014 through the spring of 2015. Featuring beautiful photographs and thought-provoking text, At Large is the essential document of this remarkable happening from one of today’s most celebrated artists.

Translated by Raymond Faulkner • Commentary by Dr. Ogden Goelet, Jr. • Preface by Carol A.R. Andrews • Survey by J. Daniel Gunther

From renowned animal photographer Mitsuaki Iwago comes this visually arresting collection of photographs juxtaposing our domestic cat companions with their wild cousins. Iwago masterfully captures these feline relatives in a variety of positions, situations, and landscapes, revealing their uncanny similarities.

Are You Dissing Me? What Animals Really Think • By Simon Winheld

A hippo worries that her MFA is totally useless. A cardinal has roommate problems. A hummingbird is eager to join a social network. A bush baby teeters on the edge (You wanna throw down?! ) Here for the first time are the innermost thoughts of our furry and feathered friends, who—it is finally revealed—humorously share the same anxieties, frustrations, and preoccupations as we do. Whether it’s a raccoon fretting about his judgmental friends, a buffalo impatiently waiting for his dumplings, or a sloth contemplating a career in stand-up comedy, each colorfully illustrated critter captures a moment of modern flux—and together they create an irresistibly funny portrait of a kingdom both wild and amusingly familiar. Simon Winheld is an illustrator and actor who lives in New York. This is his first book. A New York Times Bestseller

The epic saga...

Star Wars Epic Yarns

A New Hope

By Jack and Holman Wang

Princess Leia sends a hologram message through R2-D2, Luke Skywalker will learn how to use a lightsaber, and our heroes triumph.

Jedi apprentices and little princesses will delight in this (heart)felt retelling of the Star Wars saga. And so will Star Wars fans of any age! The series launches with the original trilogy, and every word counts in these small but perfectly formed yarns. That’s because each volume features 12 iconic scenes, handcrafted in felt and pithily summarized in just a single word. The attention to detail is eye-opening; the proportions are just-right for small hands; the fun is guaranteed. Jack and Holman Wang are twin brothers who grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, where Holman still lives. As well as being the creators of the Cozy Classics board books, Jack is a professor of writing at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, and Holman, a former middle school teacher, is an artist and author.

The Empire Strikes Back Luke meets his teacher Yoda, Han Solo makes a friend, and there is a lightsaber duel with a Sith Lord in the dark.

Return of the Jedi The monster Jabba is encountered, C-3PO conducts story time, and there is a happy ending.

How to Read a Story

By Deanna Caswell • Illustrated by Amy June Bates

By Kate Messner • Illustrated by Mark Siegel

A long, long drive. It’s been a year of dreaming, waiting. Now, summer’s here.

Step One: Find a story. (A good one.) Step Two: Find a reading buddy. (Someone nice.) Step Three: Find a reading spot. (Couches are cozy.) Now: Begin.

In a funny and heartfelt celebration of family, vacations, and the joy of the sea, Deanna Caswell and Amy June Bates capture the essence of summer—building sand castles, jumping the waves, and watching the stars come out after a long day at the beach—and the love that warms every moment.

Accomplished storytellers Kate Messner and Mark Siegel chronicle the process of becoming a reader: from pulling a book off the shelf and finding someone with whom to share a story, to reading aloud, predicting what will happen, and— finally—coming to The End. This picture book playfully and movingly illustrates the idea that the reader who discovers the love of reading finds, at the end, the beginning.

Deanna Caswell is an award-winning picture book author. She lives with 8 chickens, half as many children, and a very understanding husband in Collierville, Tennessee. Amy June Bates is a freelance children’s book illustrator. Amy grew up in Utah and got a degree in Illustration from Brigham Young University. She lives with her 3 children and husband in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Kate Messner is a middle school teacher and award-winning author. She lives on Lake Champlain with her family. Mark Siegel is the author and illustrator of several acclaimed books for children and adults.

Kindergarten Luck

Stella Brings the Family

By Louise Borden • Illustrated by Genevieve Godbout

By Miriam B. Schiffer • Illustrated by Holly Clifton-Brown

What makes a lucky day?

Stella’s class is having a Mother’s Day celebration, but what’s a girl with two daddies to do? It’s not that she doesn’t have someone who helps her with her homework, or tucks her in at night. Stella has her Papa and Daddy who take care of her, and a whole gaggle of other loved ones who make her feel special and supported every day. She just doesn’t have a mom to invite to the party. Fortunately, Stella finds a unique solution to her party problem in this sweet story about love, acceptance, and the true meaning of family.

One gloomy morning, Theodore found a bright, shiny penny on the way down to breakfast. There was Abraham Lincoln, face up. What luck! “Oh THANK you, Mr. Famous President!” Theodore said. And he tucked that shiny, new penny in his pocket.

The Land of Lines

Farewell Floppy

By Victor Hussenot

By Benjamin Chaud

In the land of lines, anything is possible: the connection between a boy and a girl from different worlds, the potential for self-discovery, and the vanquishing of a monster. While exploring mysterious terrain, the characters cascade down geometric cliffs and mountains, navigating the unknown and finding their potential. Readers will immerse themselves in this engaging wordless graphic novel that captures the timeless heroic journey and celebrates the power of art.

It was the perfect plan: abandon pet rabbit Floppy in the woods and take a giant leap toward adulthood. Having a bunny that moonlights as a best friend is for babies, right? It’s better to cut a pet loose, make new human friends, and not be so dependent on a floppy-eared fur ball bent on chewing electrical cords, right? If saying good-bye to Floppy is required to grow up, why does life without Floppy seem so wrong? From Benjamin Chaud, the critically acclaimed author/illustrator of The Bear’s Song and The Bear’s Sea Escape, comes this unforgettable, thought-provoking picture book about the power of unlikely friendships.

Victor Hussenot is an illustrator whose work is published widely in Europe. The Land of Lines is his third graphic novel. He lives in Paris, France.

Benjamin Chaud is a well-known French author and illustrator of more than 60 books, including the New York Times Notable Book The Bear’s Song.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to School . . . By Davide Cali • Illustrated by Benjamin Chaud

First, some giant ants steal breakfast. Then there are the evil ninjas, massive ape, mysterious mole people, giant blob, and countless other daunting (and astonishing) detours along the way to school. Are these excuses really why this student is late? Or is there another explanation that is even more outrageous than the rest? From Davide Cali and Benjamin Chaud, the critically acclaimed author/illustrator team behind I Didn’t Do My Homework Because . . . comes a fast-paced, actionpacked, laugh-out-loud story about finding the way to school despite the odds—and the unbelievable oddness!

“ This little book of tall tales could inspire slacker students to do their work—or at least try harder to amuse their teachers when the inevitable occurs.” —The New York Times “ This droll little book can be enjoyed for the cheek of the protagonist, the broad inventiveness of the excuses, and the scale of the whimsical illustrations.” —Booklist “ Packed with overlapping images and detail, which will encourage careful observation and conversation.” —School Library Journal

A green apple tree grows in the heart of Thirsby Square, and tangled up in its magical roots is the story of Lottie Fiske. For as long as Lottie can remember, the only people who seem to care about her are her best friend, Eliot, and the mysterious letter writer who sends her birthday gifts. But now strange things are happening on the island Lottie calls home, and Eliot’s getting sicker, with a disease the doctors have given up trying to cure. Lottie is helpless, useless, powerless—until a door opens in the apple tree. Follow Lottie down through the roots to another world in pursuit of the impossible: a cure for the incurable, a use for the useless, and protection against the pain of loss.

ottie pulled back the sleeve of her periwinkle coat to see just how badly she’d been bruised.

But there wasn’t a bruise. Where a bruise should have been, there was a handprint. A deep black handprint covered the crook of her elbow, and from it pulsed a hot, tight, uncomfortable feeling, like someone had tied a steaming tea bag too tightly around Lottie’s skin. A merry chirp shook Lottie’s attention, and she looked up from the strange mark on her arm to catch a sight stranger still: a white fluttering of wings. A lone white finch was flying away, up into the nighttime rain, until Lottie could not distinguish it from the glaring white raindrops themselves.

Michaela MacColl

Louisa May Alcott can’t believe it—her mother is leaving for the summer to earn money for the family and Louisa is to be in charge of the household. How will she find the time to write her stories, much less have any adventures of her own? But before long, Louisa finds herself juggling her temperamental father, a mysterious murder, a fugitive seeking refuge along the Underground Railroad, and blossoming love. Intertwining fact, fiction, and quotes from Little Women, Michaela MacColl has crafted another spunky heroine whose story will keep readers turning pages until the very end. Michaela MacColl studied multidisciplinary history at Vassar College and Yale University, which turns out to be the perfect degree for writing historical fiction. She lives with her husband and two daughters in Connecticut.

The Meaning of Maggie

Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere

By Megan Jean Sovern

By Julie T. Lamana

As befits a future President of the United States of America, Maggie Mayfield has decided to write a memoir of the past year of her life. And what a banner year it’s been! During this period, she’s Student of the Month on a regular basis, an official shareholder in Coca-Cola stock, and defending Science Fair champion. Most importantly, though, this is the year Maggie has to pull up her bootstraps (the family motto) and finally learn why her cool dude dad is in a wheelchair, no matter how scary that is. Author Megan Jean Sovern, herself the daughter of a dad with multiple sclerosis, writes with the funny grace and assured prose of a new literary star.

Armani Curtis can think about only one thing: her tenth birthday. She’s having a party, her mama is making a big cake, and she has a good feeling about a certain wrapped box. Turning ten years old is a big deal to Armani. It means she’s older, wiser, more responsible. But when Hurricane Katrina hits the Lower Nines of New Orleans and tears her world apart, Armani realizes that being ten means being brave, watching loved ones die, and mustering all her strength to help her family weather the storm. A gripping story of courage and survival, Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere celebrates the power of hope and love in the face of the unthinkable.

Megan Jean Sovern is an award-winning copywriter at a major advertising agency. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia. This is her debut novel. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of this book will be donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

The Falconer

—Booklist

Book One • By Elizabeth May

CHILDREN’S

Edinburgh, 1844. Beautiful Aileana Kameron only looks the part of an aristocratic young lady. In fact, she’s spent the year since her mother died developing her ability to sense the presence of sìthichean, a faery race bent on slaughtering humans. She has a secret mission: to destroy the faery who murdered her mother. But when she learns she’s a Falconer, the last in a line of female warriors and the sole hope of preventing a powerful faery population from massacring all of humanity, her quest for revenge gets a whole lot more complicated. Now in paperback, this electrifying thriller—the first volume of a trilogy from an exciting new voice in young adult fantasy—blends romance and action with steampunk technology and Scottish lore in a deliciously addictive read.

“ A pleasing blend of witty dialogue, nonstop action, and campy humor. . . . More, please.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Elizabeth May hails from California and is currently a PhD student in social anthropology at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. An accomplished commercial photographer, who counts many book publishers among her clients, she has also spent time in front of the camera as a model for book jackets, including those for young adults. The Falconer is her first novel.

Make Faces

Missing Socks Matching Game

Doodle and Sticker Book with 52 Faces + 6 Sticker Sheets By tupera tupera

Illustrated by Lydia Nichols

Make faces—make art! Fifty-two images of everyday and unexpected objects provide the perfect canvases for creating funny, quirky, and completely original faces. Just add eyes, noses, mouths, ears, hair, and more from 6 vinyl sticker sheets packed with expressive features and other amusing accessories. Give a sunny–side up egg zipped lips, add a moustache, and mix and match eyes and brows. Make the moon (and a dumpling and a baseball) happy, or sad, or mad. And don’t stop there—doodle and add speech bubbles to complete the characters. It’s the ultimate face book!

Ah, the perennial post-laundry problem: Where is that missing sock? Unlike doomed pairs that go into the laundry only to return from tumble dry solo, this entertaining game keeps the pairs intact, allowing young players to match socks adorned with cute animals, eye-catching patterns, and other colorful surprises! Kids will delight in uncovering the missing socks while building memory, concentration, and matching skills. And parents will delight in all those pairs of socks perfectly matched, at last! Lydia Nichols is a graphic designer and illustrator. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

A Strange Place to Call Home

Manfish

The World’s Most Dangerous Habitats & the Animals That Call Them Home • By Marilyn Singer • Illustrated by Ed Young

A Story of Jacques Cousteau By Jennifer Berne • Illustrated by Éric Puybaret

Of all the miracles of life, it is life’s persistence that astounds the most. In the endless black of the deepest caves, blind fish find their way. In a frozen forest, snow monkeys find a cozy hot spring to keep warm. Even in the salt desert’s barren cold, flamingoes bloom like vivid flowers. The 14 animals in this book defy the odds and make their homes in the unlikeliest of places—under the weight of seas, in the belly of tar pits, in the sandstorm’s mouth.

Once upon a time in France, a baby was born under the summer sun. His parents named him Jacques. As he grew, Jacques fell in love with the sea. He dreamed of breathing beneath the waves and swimming as gracefully as a fish. In fact, he longed to become a manfish. Jacques Cousteau grew up to become a champion of the seas and one of the best-known oceanographers in the world. In this lovely biography, now in paperback, poetic text and gorgeous paintings come together to create a portrait of Cousteau that is as magical as it is inspiring.

Book 2 • By E. S. Farber • Illustrated by Jason Beene

By Amy Krouse Rosenthal • Illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld

When Bryce Billings says he will clobber Fish Finelli in the Captain Kidd Classic boat race, Fish has no choice but to accept the bet. But Fish’s 1970s Whaler with a broken motor is no match for Bryce’s new, top-of-the-line, 9.9-horsepower Viper. Even if Fish, Roger, and T. J. can fix the measly 5-horsepower motor, it can’t compete with Bryce’s boat. With $9.63 between them, do the guys even have a chance of beating Bryce at the Classic? A hilarious, action-packed romp filled with nonfiction sidebars, this latest installment in the entertaining new chapter book series is hotter than a fireball.

Get rid of a pesky hanger-on in Brazil by telling him to dig for potatoes—vai ceifar batatas. To express disgust toward your brown-nosing German friend, accuse him of being a bicycle-rider—radfahrer, or tell someone off in Laos by letting him know you think his mother enjoys keeping intimate company with dogs—Ma see mea mung! Make new friends and enemies abroad with this handy guide filled with fighting words, scatological expressions, dozens of ways to insult someone’s mother, and many other suitably offensive phrases.

HOW TO

AR SWE AROUND

THE WORLD

Jason Sacher is a writer and illustrator living in the wilds of southern Maine. He has long been an admirer of curse words and their many uses, although he is troubled by the increasing frequency with which those words are vehemently hurled at him by friends, acquaintances, and members of his household. He figures he must just have one of those faces. You can read Jason’s comics at www.picnicspirit.com.

And just because they use fancy words like jus or blanchir doesn’t mean you have to have a Michelin-starred kitchen to cook great French food.

Here you will find more than 100 recipes for familiar, satisfying food, all re-engineered to reflect the way we prefer to eat now.

Inspired by traditional Ger man flavors and cooking techniques, these recipes make use of all the best meat and produce available to you. Trout is rubbed with ramp butter, a whole chicken is brined in pickle juice, rack of pork is rubbed with mustard and caraway, quark stars in a cheesecake, pumpernickel adds earthy chew to a brownie, and Brussels sprouts are paired with smoked sausage, shallots, and malt vinegar.
