Описание:

Colorado Book Award Winner for Literary Fiction: "The colorful characters make this account of the War of 1812 a rollicking page-turner" (Publishers Weekly).

In the early nineteenth century, young Henry Phipps is on a quest to realize his dying mother's last wish: to be buried at sea, surrounded by her family. Not an easy task considering Henry's ne'er-do-well father is in debtors' prison and his comically earnest older brother is busy fighting the redcoats on the battlefields of Maryland.
But Henry's stubborn determination knows no bounds. As he dodges the cannon fire of clashing armies and picks among the ruins of a burning capital, he meets looters, British defectors, renegade slaves, a pregnant maiden in distress, and scoundrels of all types. Mad Boy is at once an antic adventure and a thoroughly convincing work of historical fiction that recreates a young nation's first truly international conflict and a key moment in the history of the emancipation of African American slaves.
Entertaining, atmospheric, and touching, it is "a wartime coming-of-age story filled with nonstop action and genuine pathos" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

"This brilliant musket blast of a novel--in which the lucky reader will encounter falling cows, repurposed pickle barrels, fascinating schemes and fabulous schemers--is alive with humor, heat and heart. Mad Boy is a tremendous accomplishment. Nick Arvin is the real thing."--Laird Hunt, author of Neverhome

Описание: Perfect for fans of Warcross and Black Mirror, Girl Gone Viral is the inventive and timely story of a seventeen-year-old coder's catapult to stardom.

For seventeen-year-old Opal Hopper, code is magic. She builds entire worlds from scratch: Mars craters, shimmering lakes, any virtual experience her heart desires.

But she can't code her dad back into her life. When he disappeared after her tenth birthday, leaving only a cryptic note, Opal tried desperately to find him. And when he never turned up, she enrolled at a boarding school for technical prodigies and tried to forget.

Until now. Because WAVE, the world's biggest virtual reality platform, has announced a contest where the winner gets to meet its billionaire founder. The same billionaire who worked closely with Opal's dad. The one she always believed might know where he went. The one who maybe even murdered him.

What begins as a small data hack to win the contest spirals out of control when Opal goes viral, digging her deeper into a hole of lies, hacks, and manipulation. How far will Opal go for the answers--or is it the attention--she's wanted for years?

Описание:

During the last decades, male culture has been beaten down and virtually erased. Policy, education, and culture have turned against the interests of men, violating their natural rights everywhere from family courts, to tax law, to the social justice culture that has overwhelmed many college campuses. Personal and family life have similarly suffered for men, as many have become silenced even in their own homes, or forced to act against their most basic interests.

In Pull Out, Arvin Vohra presents a brutal vision of modern masculinism that rejects both the failed culture of the past and the broken culture of the present. Unflinching, unapologetic, and uncompromising, Pull Out presents a roadmap for the American man's psychological, political, and personal mutiny.

Описание: From their earliest encounters with Indigenous Pacific Islanders, white Europeans and Americans asserted an identification with the racial origins of Polynesians, declaring them to be racially almost white and speculating that they were of Mediterranean or Aryan descent. In Possessing Polynesians Maile Arvin analyzes this racializing history within the context of settler colonialism across Polynesia, especially in Hawai‘i. Arvin argues that a logic of possession through whiteness animates settler colonialism, by which both Polynesia (the place) and Polynesians (the people) become exotic, feminized belongings of whiteness. Seeing whiteness as indigenous to Polynesia provided white settlers with the justification needed to claim Polynesian lands and resources. Understood as possessions, Polynesians were and continue to be denied the privileges of whiteness. Yet Polynesians have long contested these classifications, claims, and cultural representations, and Arvin shows how their resistance to and refusal of white settler logic have regenerated Indigenous forms of recognition.

Описание: Arthik Sharma left India for the United States to begin a new life for himself and his family back home, but his plans to achieve the American Dream are thwarted when he becomes a pawn in a plan to create a New World Order. His experience and his upbringing should mean that he's more than capable of escaping from the net in which he's caught, but if he can't, he risks involvement in a conflict of epic proportions, in which the survival of thousands hangs in the balance.This page-turning medical/conspiracy theory thriller hybrid will appeal to fans of Michael Crichton and Dan Brown alike.

Описание:

For centuries, storytelling and art have been used to communicate directly to the heart. Worth a Thousand Words is a powerful example of just that. The heart-warming letters and short stories are easy to read and hard to put down. The author, Anthony Arvin, has wonderfully unique perspectives, and his insights are inspired. This book is the first volume of the series; Things I Want My Children to Know.

The masterful storytelling helps to frame important things in life in a way that resonates with all ages. Parents and grandparents appreciate the nostalgia, while younger generations love the irreverent sense of humor. This book has plenty of both. It is an eclectic mix of stories used to emphasize the importance of things like gratitude, respect, healthy relationships and personal growth. The stories and letters in this book were pulled from a collection of many hundreds written over nearly a quarter of a century. But the wisdom they bring is timeless. Love, relationships, personal growth, and inner joy are a part of every journey and every generation. Entertaining--and sometimes hilarious--explanations of these values will never go out of style.

The art in the book is significant. The illustrations are stunning, and the children will steal your heart. A throwback from old-school illustrators, Anthony brings a Norman Rockwell vibe in his art. His subjects simply move you ... you feel a connection to the children. The illustrations drive home poignant points in the book and provide an opportunity to pause and reflect. People rave about the book, but when they get their copy out to show others, it is the art they show first.

Worth a Thousand Words is the feel-good book of the season and makes a perfect gift. Give the gift of joy ... For yourself and others.

Описание: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda goes to Italy in Arvin Ahmadi's newest incisive look at identity and what it means to find yourself by running away.

Eighteen-year-old Amir Azadi always knew that coming out to his Muslim family would be messy, but he wasn't expecting it to end in an airport interrogation room. Now, he's telling his side of the story to the stern-faced officer. Amir has to explain why he ran away to Rome (boys, bullies, blackmail) and what he was doing there for a month (dates in the Sistine Chapel, friends who helped him accept who he is, and, of course, drama)... all while his mom, dad, and little sister are being interrogated in the room next door.

A nuanced take on growing up brown, Muslim, and gay in today's America, How It All Blew Up by Arvin Ahmadi will delight fans of both Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda's heartwarming plot twists and comedian Hasan Minhaj's hilarious explorations of uncomfortable truths. It's the story of one boy's struggle to come out to his family, and how that painful process exists right alongside his silly, sexy romp through Italy.
