Book excerpt: With the unexpected help of a giant prehistoric sloth, ghostly grandfathers return to help a suicidal teenager. Winning a national high-school geography competition should be the high point of Jomon’s life. So why does he find himself running through the streets of Georgetown, Guyana, later that same night — so angry and desperate? Why does he heave his hard-won medal through the front window of a liquor store? Why does a teenaged boy decide life is not worth living? Arrested by police and detained in a jail cell, Jomon is jolted out of his suicidal thoughts by the sudden appearance of another teenaged boy — who claims to be his great-great-grandfather ... Meanwhile, across town, the pride of Guyana, the life-sized exhibit of a giant prehistoric sloth named Gather, disappears overnight from the Guyana National Museum. While museum officials argue over who is responsible for the disappearance and who is in charge of getting the sloth back, only Mrs. Simson, a museum cleaner, seems to understand what needs to be done. And so begins a strange and marvelous journey, as Jomon is sentenced to a youth detention facility, and a succession of his dead grandfathers appears, each one of them having died by suicide. As the grandfathers argue among themselves and blame each other for their own fates, they keep a watch out for Jomon, to try to make sure he does not continue their family tradition. In this short, fable-like story, Deborah Ellis comes at the timely and difficult issue of child suicide with restraint, compassion, and freshness, as the grandfathers overcome their own fraught histories to help their grandson, who in the end is aided by the appearance of a wondrous giant rodent, busy enjoying her own return to earthly existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don?t need a big title or a business degree in order to lead with impact. What you need is practical wisdom: the insight, judgment, and strength of character that all great leaders have, but that most business schools and corporate workshops don?t teach. The Greats on Leadership gets you there. Jocelyn Davis takes you on an in-depth tour of the best leadership ideas of the past 25 centuries, featuring classic authors from Plato to Winston Churchill, Shakespeare to Jane Austen, C.G. Jung to Peter Drucker, and many more. In a style both thought provoking and entertaining, she shows how -history?s great writers have always been, and still are, the real leadership gurus. Davis spells out the behaviors that distinguish true leaders from misleaders and covers 20 specific leadership topics, including: Leadership Traps (Shakespeare) Change (Machiavelli) Power (Sophocles) Dilemmas (Madison, Hamilton) Communication (Lincoln, Pericles) Personality Types (Jung) Motivation (Frankl) Judgment (Maupassant, Melville, Austen, Shaw) Character (Churchill, Plutarch, Shelley, Joyce) Each chapter begins with a synopsis of a great work by the author and then draws out the key leadership insights, weaving them together with business examples, the best contemporary research, and tools to help put it all into practice. In the last two chapters Davis presents a new way to think about leadership levels, framing them in terms of the impact you have rather than the title on your business card. Whether you?re a recent graduate or MBA searching for something more inspiring than the standard textbook, a new manager looking for something deeper than the typical how-to book, or an experienced executive seeking ideas to lift you to the next level, this remarkably readable and practical guide will set you on the road to becoming a great leader.

Book excerpt: What would happen if the world turned mad? Would there even be any difference? The tale of the Bartholomew Brown is one unlike any other. A boy and an impossible Dream to achieve Greatness in a world that was never destined for him. From one Canton to another...there is a very ugly truth behind. The harsh turmoil and overwhelming defeats of those who don't survive. But the story is not just his own. Spanning from the dilapidated streets of the intercity, to the maddening walls of suburbia, and even to the towering penthouse of solitude over-looking them all. The heartless journey comes full circle when these unlikely paths clash. And it will be up to these few lowly individuals to decide the fate of a world gone mad. (Loosely based on some really real stuff y'all)

Book excerpt: Fiction. Translated by Jessica Moore. Winner of the 2015 Prix de la Porte Dor e. Winner of the 2014 the Prix Georges-Brassens. Guinea-Bissau, 2012. Sylvain Prudhomme revisits the famous 70's music group Super Mama Djombo, as seen through the eyes of Couto, the laconic guitarist. After learning of the death of the singer, Dulce--once the love of his life--Couto wanders through the capital city, from bar to bar, from friend to friend. Thirty years file past in his thoughts: memories of the woman he loved, of the guerilla fighting against the Portuguese colonizers, and of the golden days of a legendary band that played all over the world--a sound that was new, fresh, and driven by the pride of an entire country. The tension mounts page after page as the group prepares a final concert in Dulce's honour, even as a coup d' tat is prepared by her husband, Guinea-Bissau's Army Chief of Staff. In language that is strong, poetic, and understated, Prudhomme tells the story of a population who knew hope and independence but now live under the oppressive rule of an army dictatorship. THE GREATS is a novel of mourning, love, and the thirst for justice. "The chronicle of a success story, a story of love and friendship set against the backdrop of a coup d' tat, LES GRANDS is also a beautifully written book. Vibrant and smooth, each line pulls us into an avalanche of sensations.... A sumptuous stroll through an Africa on the verge of a rebirth."--Les Inrockuptibles "A magnificent ode to music, love, and friendship...This book will change you."--Lire "It's a coup. A wild success."--l'Express "Jessica Moore's splendid translation captures the rhythm of Prudhomme's heart-felt homage to Guinea-Bissau, the vivid detail of his night stroll through the country's shifting music scene, its ruthless, recurring, political upheavals and its ongoing fight for independence."--Martha Baillie

The result is a compelling read, beautifully crafted by one of Britain’s top motor sport writers.
