As founder of the Peace Corps, Head Start, the Special Olympics (with wife Eunice Kennedy Shriver), and other organizations, Sargent Shriver was a key social and political figure whose influence continues to the present day. This authorized biography, exhaustively researched and finely rendered by Scott Stossel (deputy editor of The Atlantic), reads like an epic novel, with “Sarge” marching through the historical events of the last century—the Great Depression, World War II, JFK’s assassination, the Cold War, and many more. Sarge gives us a complete account of Shriver’s life, as well as a thoughtful commentary on the Kennedy family, the Peace Corps, and United States and world history. It is a riveting and comprehensive reconstruction of a life that exemplifies what it means to be a true American.

Luther T. Farrell has got to get out of Flint, Michigan. As his best friend Sparky says, “Flint’s nothing but the Titanic.” And his mother, a.k.a. the Sarge, says, “Take my advice and stay off the sucker path.” The Sarge milked the system to build an empire of slum housing and group homes. Luther’s just one of the many people trapped in the Sarge’s Evil Empire—but he’s about to bust out. If Luther wins the science fair this year, he’ll be on track for college and a future as America’s best-known and best-loved philosopher. All he’s got to do is beat his arch rival Shayla Patrick, the beautiful daughter of Flint’s finest undertaker—and the love of Luther’s life. Sparky’s escape plans involve a pit bull named Poofy and the world’s scariest rat. Oh, and Luther. Add to the mix Chester X., Luther’s mysterious roommate; Dontay Gaddy, a lawyer whose phone number is 1-800-SUE’M ALL; and Darnell Dixon, the Sarge’s go-to guy who knows how to break all the rules. Bucking the Sarge is a story that only Christopher Paul Curtis could tell. Once again the Newbery Award–winning author of Bud, Not Buddy and The Watsons Go to Birmingham—1963 gives us a whole new angle on life and a world full of unforgettable and hilarious characters. Readers will root for Luther and Sparky every step of the way. Praise for The Watsons Go to Birmingham—1963: “An exceptional first novel.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred “Ribald humor . . . and a totally believable child’s view of the world will make this book an instant hit.”—School Library Journal, Starred Praise for Bud, Not Buddy: “Curtis has given a fresh, new look to a traditional orphan-finds-a-home story that would be a crackerjack read-aloud.” —School Library Journal, Starred

We on didn't we Sarge A work of poetry completed during the three lock downs in England during the year 2020/21. Having lived through the chaos that was the world of children's homes in the late 1970's and early 1980's he ran away to spend several years living on the street and during those early years was subject to the negative side of the youth justice system. Faced in the early 1980's with unemployment and homelessness he joined the British Army in 1984 and served in The Life Guards, The Household Cavalry throughout the 1990's. He has been writing, painting and performing poetry since his punk days. Upon leaving military service he set off and traveled the country and Europe for two years, living only in a tent and carrying all he owned in a rucksack upon his back. After the whirl of the 90's on the London club scene, he has sought a more peaceful existence in his small town near to Stonehenge in Wiltshire. Here he captures his voice on paper in a look at the world through the lens of a nationwide enforced incarceration with some reflections, humour and verse. Being a natural traveler, lock down has brought the walls of his world in like the walls of an invisible cell. Usually only ever performing his works in front of small live audiences this is his first work to be published after recent times has seen the banning on meetings and gatherings. Peter cannot wait to return to the bars and clubs where poets and performers can gather have a beer and for a brief moment to entertain the crowd. As this book is being published in May 2021, he awaits with a great many artists, of all types, for the final easing of Lockdown restrictions.

She's the fuel for every song he's ever written-each one laced with bitter, hard-edged, hungry lust. Now, with his hugely successful band on temporary hiatus, Sarge is determined to prove to Jasmine that he's turned into every inch the man she's always needed... Men are slim pickings for a single factory girl in Hook, New Jersey...until tall, broad-shouldered hotness walks—or rather storms—into Jasmine's life. Sarge's return shouldn't affect her this way. He's her best friend's much younger brother, and the kind of rough, gritty, sexiness Jasmine has no right to taste for herself. Even if he lets her. But lust is a blinding, insatiable force. And when it crashes, it will take both Sarge and Jasmine down with it... Each book in the Made in Jersey series is STANDALONE: * Crashed Out * Thrown Down * Worked Up * Wound Tight

To make matters worse, his friend Jenny had just received a puppy of her own. A week before his birthday, Ralph tells his dad what he wants. Ralph’s dad searches endlessly for a puppy, but finding one is nearly impossible. But, luck is on his side, as a puppy mysteriously appears behind the pet store just days before Ralph’s birthday. Ralph’s dreams have been answered. Ralph and his puppy Elt (short for Ralph’s last name) together with Jenny and her puppy Bernadette, take long walks through their neighborhood.

Walking through the Valley explores terminal patients struggle with life, death, and spirituality at the end of their life journey. Medical research reveals prayer does make a difference: healing, physical remission, and peace of mind occur through prayer. There appears to be a paradox: many believe that healing can only be of a physical nature, when, in fact, healing exhibits itself in different perspectives. Walking through the Valley is a compilation of true stories about patients living with a terminal illness, some of whom have found their healing by discovering a pathway through faith in a Higher Power: God, as they have come to know Him.

Assigned to either contain or quarantine the mysterious threat, a crack strike team comprised of the most hard-bitten marines around believes that this will be another routine seek-and-destroy mission. But they will soon come face-to-face with the hellish nightmares that the researchers' unorthodox experiments have unleashed on Olduvai -- a place where doom is waiting....
