Liseks Great Adventure is a story about a young half beagle, half pug dog named Lisek (pronounced Lee-seck) that was taken in and loved, for years, by a young boy and his parents. Its a story from this little dogs perspective, expressing her joy and how much friendship can be had between a child and his first pet. As for the dogs name, it was chosen by the author when he visited Poland, met a dog named Lisek, and liked that it translated into Little Fox. When the author came back to California and got his own dog, he used that name. This story which is beautifully illustrated by Jonine Latar, is designed to teach children how fun it can be to have an animal and the responsibility that comes with it. Its also meant to bring a smile to adults who remember the happiness they experienced with their first pet. This book was conceptualized by Paul when he was just 12 years old and finally came to, after he turned 28. The author is proud to have finally put together the story hes had on his mind for 16 years. And his words to the reader, are, if you have an idea or a passion, run with it and make it happendont wait.

Bestselling author A. E. Hotchner's intimate account of his 53-year friendship with his pal Paul Newman. A. E. Hotchner first met Paul Newman in 1955 when the virtually unknown actor assumed the lead role in Hotchner’s first television play, based on an Ernest Hemingway story. The project elevated both men from relative obscurity to recognition and began a close and trusted friendship that lasted until Newman’s death in 2008. In Paul and Me, Hotchner depicts a complicated, unpredictable, fun-loving, talented man, and takes the reader along on their adventures. The pair traveled extensively, skippered a succession of bizarre boats, confounded the business world, scored triumphs on the stage, and sustained their friendship through good times and bad. Most notably, they started Newman’s Own as a prank and watched it morph into a major enterprise that so far has donated all its $300 million in profit to charities including the Hole in the Wall Camps worldwide, dedicated to helping thousands of children with life-threatening illnesses. Paul and Me, complete with personal photographs, is the story of a freewheeling friendship and a tribute to the acclaimed actor who gave to the world as much as the world gave him.

Horatio Jr. Alger's 'Adventures of a Telegraph Boy; or, 'Number 91' is a classic rags-to-riches story that follows the journey of a young telegraph messenger named Frank Kavanagh. Set against the backdrop of the bustling telegraph industry in the late 19th century, the novel exemplifies Alger's trademark style of portraying the virtues of hard work, perseverance, and moral integrity. Through vivid descriptions and engaging narrative, Alger transports the reader into a world filled with adventure, challenges, and ultimately, triumph. Horatio Jr. Alger, known for his numerous works of juvenile fiction that emphasize the importance of character and determination, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of the social dynamics of his time. As a prolific writer and educator, Alger used his platform to convey moral lessons to young readers, making his novels both entertaining and instructive. I highly recommend 'Adventures of a Telegraph Boy; or, 'Number 91' to readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories with a focus on moral development and personal growth. Alger's timeless tale of perseverance and success is sure to resonate with audiences of all ages.

Fearing for his life, Charlie strikes a deal with Cap’n Buck and agrees to track down some folks accused of stealing from the cap’n and his boss. It’s not too bad of a bargain for Charlie . . . until he comes face-to-face with the fugitives and discovers their true identities. Torn between his guilty conscience and his survival instinct, Charlie needs to figure out his next move—and soon. It’s only a matter of time before Cap’n Buck catches on. Praise for The Journey of Little Charlie A National Book Award Finalist “This is a compelling and ugly story for middle-grade readers told with genuine care. Little Charlie is a product of his Southern upbringing, yet in Curtis’s skillful hands he learns the world is not as he’d thought . . . Christopher Paul Curtis does it again.” —Historical Novel Society “A characteristically lively and complex addition to the historical fiction of the era from Curtis.” —Kirkus Reviews
