A first-generation Pakistani coming-of-age story for fans of David Yoon and Ben Philippe. Fifteen-year-old Fawad Chaudhry loves two things: basketball and his mother's potato and ground beef stuffed parathas. Both are round and both help him forget about things like his father, who died two years ago, his mother’s desire to arrange a marriage to his first cousin, Nusrat, back home in Pakistan, and the tiny apartment in Regent Park he shares with his mom and sister. Not to mention his estranged best friend Yousuf, who's coping with the shooting death of his older brother. But Fawad has plans: like, asking out Ashley, even though she lives on the other, wealthier side of the tracks, and saving his friend Arif from being beaten into a pulp for being the school flirt, and making the school basketball team and dreaming of being the world’s first Pakistani to be drafted into the NBA. All he has to do now is convince his mother to let him try out for the basketball team. And let him date girls from his school. Not to mention somehow get Omar, the neighborhood bully, to leave him alone . . .

Book Synopsis Wrong Side of Forty by : Jana DeLeon
Download or read book Wrong Side of Forty written by Jana DeLeon and published by Jana DeLeon. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Jana DeLeon brings a humorous, paranormal women’s fiction tale. For many, midlife is only the beginning. It was a day like any other day for Marina Trahan…until she caught her husband in bed with another woman. Before that eye-opening wake-up call, Marina would have described her life as average or uneventful, maybe even boring. But now, chaos and confusion reign supreme. She’d expected to slide through midlife with her unwanted extra pounds, chin hair, and hot flashes and move somewhat gracefully into elastic waist pants and having no verbal filter. But with a wayward husband, a high-maintenance daughter, a lackluster career, and a crazy mother all weighing her down, Marina is ready to wave the white flag of surrender. Then an intriguing stranger named Alexios shows up out of nowhere and insists she is descended from a goddess and is the only person who can save the world from certain destruction. She has roughly a week to do it. Solving a centuries-old mystery seems like a more interesting proposition than the other situations Marina is facing, so she accepts his challenge. But her search for a magical item of power reveals far more about Marina than she ever knew. Maybe enough to save the world. And even herself.
Download or read book Subpar Parks written by Amber Share and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **A New York Times Bestseller!** Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America’s national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors. Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply "Too cold for me!" Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as "Too spiky!" Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, “Save yourself some money, boil some water at home.” Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors. Equal parts humor and love for the national parks and the great outdoors, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend time outside as well as have a good read (and laugh) once they come indoors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this #1 New York Times bestseller, California's newest private investigator, Detective Harry Bosch, must track down a missing heir while helping a police department connect the dots on a dangerous cold case. Harry Bosch is California's newest private investigator. He doesn't advertise, he doesn't have an office, and he's picky about who he works for, but it doesn't matter. His chops from thirty years with the LAPD speak for themselves. Soon one of Southern California's biggest moguls comes calling. The reclusive billionaire is nearing the end of his life and is haunted by one regret. When he was young, he had a relationship with a Mexican girl, his great love. But soon after becoming pregnant, she disappeared. Did she have the baby? And if so, what happened to it? Desperate to know whether he has an heir, the dying magnate hires Bosch, the only person he can trust. With such a vast fortune at stake, Harry realizes that his mission could be risky not only for himself but for the one he's seeking. But as he begins to uncover the haunting story--and finds uncanny links to his own past--he knows he cannot rest until he finds the truth. At the same time, unable to leave cop work behind completely, he volunteers as an investigator for a tiny cash-strapped police department and finds himself tracking a serial rapist who is one of the most baffling and dangerous foes he has ever faced. Swift, unpredictable, and thrilling, The Wrong Side of Goodbye shows that Michael Connelly "continues to amaze with his consistent skill and sizzle" (Cleveland Plain Dealer).
Book Synopsis Wrong Side of the Wall by : Eric Stone
Download or read book Wrong Side of the Wall written by Eric Stone and published by Lyons Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the grime-and-glitter backdrop of mid-20th century Los Angeles, this is the true story of a talented young athlete in the days before special ability in sports was a ticket to riches. Faced with a choice of sure success in the revered but grueling world of major league baseball or the easy money, fast times, and glamour of organized crime, Ralph "Blackie" Schwamb tried to have it all. But the pull of the underworld was inevitably too strong, and Blackie, a rising star pitcher for the St. Louis Browns at 22, was behind bars for a brutal murder at 23. Like a fast-paced novel, this book races breathlessly through Depression-era and World War II L.A. and into the postwar economic boom, plunging into a world of gangsters, nightclubs, girls, guns, gambling, and booze, from Mexico to Canada--and baseball, mostly behind prison walls.--From publisher description.
Book Synopsis What Goes Around... by : Peter Evbuomwan
Download or read book What Goes Around... written by Peter Evbuomwan and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know the saying What Goes Around, Comes Around but does it have to? What about second chances. Should we always allow people to pay for their mistakes or do we simply forgive them and hope that they learn or will learn even without any consequences. This short story is about how I came about the name of this book. I was meeting a lawyer friend of mine at the courthouse and as I drove into the parking lot, I immediately noticed that there was only one paid parking spot left. So, I decided to back my truck into that spot because it’s easier later on for me to drive out. As I geared my truck in reverse, a young Caucasian man driving an Audi A6 immediately drove into my spot. I was so angry and surprised at the same time because I was sure that he knew that I was backing into that spot. He seemed like he was in a hurry or probably late for court because he quickly got out of his car and almost sprinted the remaining way to the court house. After a few minutes of waiting, there was an empty spot available and without any hesitation I quickly drove into that parking spot, parked my truck and met up with my lawyer friend. After meeting up with my friend, I proceeded to the parking lot and as I approached, I saw the parking officer standing in front of that guy’s car and was about to write him a ticket. The thought of “What Goes Around, Comes Around” quickly glanced my thoughts and for a split second, I was happy that this is happening to him. At the thought of him getting a $40 ticket for the cost of just $5 made me sad, and without hesitation I called out the officer, yelling excuse me officer this is my car and I was just about to come pick it up, please don't write me a ticket. He immediately stopped and walked away. I quickly bought a $5 ticket and on the back I wrote “What Goes Around Does Not Have To Come Back Around” before I put the ticket under the windshield wiper and drove out of the parking lot.

Book excerpt: Nothing ruins a romantic evening like a brawl with lowlifes—especially when one of them later turns up dead and my date, Detective Isabella Cherabino, is the #1 suspect. My history with the Atlanta PD on both sides of the law makes me an unreliable witness, so while Cherabino is suspended, I’m paying my bills by taking an FBI gig. I’ve been hired to play telepathic bodyguard for Tommy, the ten-year-old son of a superior court judge in Savannah presiding over the murder trial of a mob-connected mogul. After an attempt on the kid’s life, the Feds believe he’s been targeted by the businessman’s “associates.” Turns out, Tommy’s a nascent telepath, so I’m trying to help him get a handle on his Ability.

Book excerpt: It begins with a dream. The year is 1987, and eleven-year-old Binnie Burgess has been enjoying living with the Warrens, her foster family, and exploring her idyllic new hometown of Cherryton, Kent. Following the tragic deaths of her parents when she was just two years old, Binnie is finally settling into her life. But then one night she wakes from a dream that feels entirely too real, and she starts to question everything. What does it mean that she seems to travel through time in her sleep? Could it actually be possible that she has the ability to influence past events? When Binnie and her foster family take a day trip to Dover Castle, she has the shocking realisation that she was, in fact, the “young local girl” who warned British troops of the French armada’s invasion during the Napoleonic Wars. Amid train rides through the English countryside, brushes with Guy Fawkes and plots against the future King of England, visions of mysterious monuments, and astonishing revelations about Binnie’s past, Dreamonition builds to a crescendo: Binnie must decide who she can trust with her secrets, learn to understand her superpower, and journey sixty-one years into the future—before it’s too late.
