Book excerpt: A funny, moving, and true story of an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face that's perfect for fans of Wonder—now available in the U.S. When Robert Hoge was born, he had a tumor the size of a tennis ball in the middle of his face and short, twisted legs. Surgeons removed the tumor and made him a new nose from one of his toes. Amazingly, he survived—with a face that would never be the same. Strangers stared at him. Kids called him names, and adults could be cruel, too. Everybody seemed to agree that he was “ugly.” But Robert refused to let his face define him. He played pranks, got into trouble, had adventures with his big family, and finally found a sport that was perfect for him to play. And Robert came face to face with the biggest decision of his life, he followed his heart. This poignant memoir about overcoming bullying and thriving with disabilities shows that what makes us “ugly” also makes us who we are. It features a reflective foil cover and black-and-white illustrations throughout.

Book excerpt: When Ernestine Smith moved to California, she reinvented herself as Taffeta— so successfully that she’s now the leader of the most popular clique at La Cambria Middle School. That is, until she’s caught cheating off brilliant but geeky Winslow Fromes and her teacher gives her the option of a fresh start. What Taffeta doesn’t realize is that Mr. Dribble can magically turn her back into Ernestine. The only way to become Taffeta again is to dance with Winslow at the Winterfest dance, but even Winslow wants nothing to do with a loser like Ernestine. Unexpected story twists and an accessible, cinematic style make H. B. Homzie’s first tween novel a perfect M!X book.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An “extraordinary, unforgettable” (Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow) memoir of redemption and second chances amidst America’s mass incarceration epidemic, from a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 Shaka Senghor was raised in a middle-class neighborhood on Detroit’s east side during the height of the 1980s crack epidemic. An honor roll student and a natural leader, he dreamed of becoming a doctor—but at age eleven, his parents’ marriage began to unravel, and beatings from his mother worsened, which sent him on a downward spiral. He ran away from home, turned to drug dealing to survive, and ended up in prison for murder at the age of nineteen, full of anger and despair. Writing My Wrongs is the story of what came next. During his nineteen-year incarceration, seven of which were spent in solitary confinement, Senghor discovered literature, meditation, self-examination, and the kindness of others—tools he used to confront the demons of his past, forgive the people who hurt him, and begin atoning for the wrongs he had committed. Upon his release at age thirty-eight, Senghor became an activist and mentor to young men and women facing circumstances like his. His work in the community and the courage to share his story led him to fellowships at the MIT Media Lab and the Kellogg Foundation and invitations to speak at events like TED and the Aspen Ideas Festival. In equal turns, Writing My Wrongs is a page-turning portrait of life in the shadow of poverty, violence, and fear; an unforgettable story of redemption; and a compelling witness to our country’s need for rethinking its approach to crime, prison, and the men and women sent there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaz Perrone might be the only marine scientist in the world who doesn’t know which way the Gulf Stream runs. He might also be the only one who went into biology just to make a killing, and now he’s found a way–doctoring water samples so that a ruthless agribusiness tycoon can continue illegally dumping fertilizer into the endangered Everglades. When Chaz suspects that his wife, Joey, has figured out his scam, he pushes her overboard from a cruise liner into the night-dark Atlantic. Unfortunately for Chaz, his wife doesn’t die in the fall. Clinging blindly to a bale of Jamaican pot, Joey Perrone is plucked from the ocean by former cop and current loner Mick Stranahan. Instead of rushing to the police and reporting her husband’s crime, Joey decides to stay dead and (with Mick’s help) screw with Chaz until he screws himself. As Joey haunts and taunts her homicidal husband, as Chaz’s cold-blooded cohorts in pollution grow uneasy about his ineptitude and increasingly erratic behavior, as Mick Stranahan discovers that six failed marriages and years of island solitude haven’t killed the reckless romantic in him, we’re taken on a hilarious, full-throttle, pure Hiaasen ride through the warped politics and mayhem of the human environment, and the human heart. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Carl Hiaasen's Bad Monkey.

Book excerpt: Enjoy this humorous Urban Fantasy series with an antihero demon by author Debra Dunbar. *** Where’s the support group for demon parents? Samael, the OG Satan who no one has seen in over two million years is supposedly roaming the world and killing angels. Just like all those Elvis sightings, if Elvis was a murdering Fallen angel, that is. As the new-and-improved Satan, it’s my responsibility to track him down and bring him to justice. I can’t even manage to keep my adopted infant angel from repeatedly killing his corporeal form, but somehow I’m supposed to get control of Hel and face down the Fallen archangel whose shoes I’m struggling to fill. It’s going to be the shortest fight ever, but if I don’t win, it won’t just be my funeral. Samael has changed, and if he wins, the world under his iron fist will fall into chaos—the bad kind of chaos. *** If you like Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, Shayne Silvers, Hailey Edwards, or Yasmine Galenorn, you'll love this series. The Imp world includes demons, angels, werewolves, elves, vampires, and more.

Following the crippling robot attack on San Francisco, Terre Hoffman is haunted by the lasting scars born from the failings of the Guardian Program. Uncertain of the success of their efforts to patch the glitches that turned the military’s war machines on their own people, Terre and his colleague, robotics specialist Kristopher Klein, have parted ways with the CIA, hoping to put the harrowing experience—and the bots that caused it—behind them. On vacation in Sin City, Terre drowns his sorrows as he looks to a future without his family. But when an ominous power outage plunges Vegas into chaos, Terre receives a call from his old employer asking him to return to duty. The bots are malfunctioning again, and an installation at the Hoover Dam holds the secret. And, most worrying of all, Kristopher is somehow involved … Artificial Insurgence is the thrilling apocalyptic continuation of The Terre Hoffman Chronicles.

Book excerpt: Khipa Shulgin is a reindeer herder and wildlife guide living with his brothers on an island in the Kamchatka Peninsula. Khipa has inherited a life-threatening heart ailment and travels to the mainland village of Ossora for medical help. After a physical examination, the doctor orders genetic testing and refers Khipa to a cardiologist in Vladivostok. While waiting for his travel arrangements to be finalized, Khipa discovers a poacher’s cache and gathers a bear paw as evidence. In Vladivostok, Khipa delivers the paw to a geneticist who uses DNA to convict wildlife criminals. Khipa also connects with an undercover cop who chases poachers, and the bear paw becomes key evidence in breaking up a poaching ring. As Khipa undergoes medical treatment, archaeologists working at a dig site on his island uncover stone tools made by Neanderthals, and speculation arises that Khipa and his brothers are living Neanderthals. Khipa asks the geneticist to examine his DNA profile to quash these rumours, hoping to prove he’s a modern human and preserve his traditional lifestyle. Instead, Khipa learns he is 85% Neanderthal. To further complicate matters, the government collects DNA from his brothers, and a global storm of interest is unleashed. As he comes to terms with his genetic lineage and with a life-saving device in his chest, Khipa takes on a legal battle to save his island, and his people, from developers and speculators. In so doing, Khipa uncovers dark secrets from Kamchatka’s past and the sordid world of wildlife trafficking. Above all, he learns to survive as a Neanderthal in the modern world. The narrative transports the reader back in time—to the Neanderthal era. Onar and his clan meet a strange and hostile human, Homo sapiens, but fail to build friendly relations. Kidnappings, thievery, and violence break out, and the Neanderthals struggle to defend their homes and territories. When game becomes scarce and starvation threatens their survival, Onar’s descendants abandon their homeland and disappear into the mist to become one of earth’s “uncontacted peoples”—until the modern world discovers Neanderthals are still alive.
