"From the Tacoma author who has written more than 100 children&rsquo;s books comes a heartwarming rewrite of a classic fairy tale with a Pacific Northwest twist. The Little Red we all know is now a mother and sends her daughter to Great Granny&rsquo;s house with cherries for her birthday. Along the way, she encounters a big friendly wolf who redirects her on a different path, causing her to find a beaver, a bear, and a mountain goat as new friends along the way. A surprise waits for this PNW crew once they reach Great Granny&rsquo;s house &mdash; and it&rsquo;s not the kind of surprise you might expect!"&mdash;425 Magazine"A unique version of the classic Little Red Riding Hood that incorporates the animals and geography of the Pacific Northwest."&mdash;South Sound Book Review Council

Little Red Riding Hood of the Pacific Northwest

Readers will be on the edge of their seats as they follow each incredible story; Skelton&#8217;s honesty about the roles of motivation, confidence, mentorship, and teamwork makes for an impressive lesson in the mechanics of mind over matter. The colorful spreads are well designed, with layouts that are easy to browse or read, stylized illustrations of diverse girls being active, and the occasional photograph of Skelton (who presents White) in action. Positively thrilling.&#8212;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Helen Skelton, a white English woman, has a list of impressive accomplishments, including an ultra marathon across the Namib Desert and a high-wire walk above London...many readers will be motivated by Skelton&#8217;s experiences, and her perseverance and grit are inspiring. Readers gain a wealth of information about the landforms and wildlife of various regions on Earth, which may spark wanderlust.  A unique and &shy;invigorating addition to nonfiction collections for young adolescents.&#8212;School Library Journal

"Timely and fascinating, Napoleoni&rsquo;s top-notch reporting, in which her attention turns from Viagra to blood diamonds to the banana price wars in a few pages, works in the vein of Freakonomics and Eric Schlosser&rsquo;s Fast Food Nation, but much grimmer." -Publishers Weekly on Napoleoni&rsquo;s Rogue Economics, a PW Book of the Year 2008"This thoughtful and incisive inquiry yields much insight into some of the most important issues of today, and tomorrow" -Noam Chomsky on Napoleoni&rsquo;s Terror Incorporated &ldquo;&hellip; In urging the West to abandon its prejudices and fundamentally rethink its ideology, [Loretta Napoleoni] is asking the right questions.&rdquo; &ndash;Morning Star &ldquo;With her hands on China's skull, Napoleoni can map the phrenology of a billion and a half Chinese minds as they struggle with the complex contradictions of this new and still-churning mix of capitalism and communism. . . .

&ldquo;Not since the first one pulled his boat up, has there been a scribbler of such fine and unusual emanations pouring out of one man.

Mark&rsquo;s wondrous imagination and unique vision of the world is almost completely explained by his young life. This book is a one of a kind adventure from one of my favourite people in the world.

"Hayes&rsquo;s debut is an affectionate, lightly mocking homage to noir tales&hellip;&#160;A strong psychological thread weaves through the story as characters confront the trauma of being imaginary and forgotten, adding depth to what at first may seem a silly concept. Readers will revel in this strange, fully realized world.&#65279;"  &ndash; Publishers Weekly "The Imaginary Corpse&#160;is one of the best detective noir stories I've read in a long time. It just happens to be about a plush triceratops whose best friends are a disembodied hand and a four-color superheroine&hellip;&#160;it's elegant, beautifully constructed, innovative, and true. It's Real. Tippy is going to be Real for a lot of people, and that's a magical thing for a yellow plush triceratops."&ndash; Seanan McGuire,&#160;New York Times bestselling author of&#160;October Daye and&#160;InCryptid"A wholly original take on the lands of make-believe from a captivating new voice in the genre. Hayes takes the reader on a journey to the heart of themselves, reminding them of all that was lost and all that can never be forgotten. A book as comforting and as cathartic as your first knocked-out tooth."&ndash;&#160;Meg Elison,&#160;Philip K. Dick Award-winning author of&#160;The Book of the Unnamed Midwife"This reminds me of Jonathan Lethem's&#160;Gun, with Occasional Music, plus the Brian Aldiss-inspired first act of&#160;AI, with splashes of Philip K. Dick and Haruki Murakami."   &ndash; Library Journal &ldquo;Brilliantly playful and deadly serious at the same time, often in the same sentence. Hayes knows the secret of world creation, building a new reality detail by detail, all of it ringing true even when outrageously absurd. A nightmare in day-glo colours, populated by outcasts and outlaws, private eyes and forgotten toys.&rdquo; &ndash; Jeff Noon, author of&#160; The Body Library,&#160; shortlisted for the Philip K Dick Award "Hayes nails that tone in the midst of what may be 2019&rsquo;s weirdest premise&hellip; the most unusual SFF-mystery mashup you&rsquo;ll read this year."&ndash; B&N Sci Fi & Fantasy Blog"Combining detective noir, Toy Story, and an in-depth look at trauma, Hayes has crafted the most unlikely formula and makes it sing. The Imaginary Corpse is inventive, fun, and touching, in the most unexpected way. The world &ndash; real and imaginary &ndash; needs more triceratops detectives."&#160;&ndash;&#160;Mike Chen, author of&#160;Here and Now and Then"This is detective noir shot through with technicolor playfulness the likes of which I haven't seen since&#160;Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's pure imagination on multiple axes &ndash; with a ton of heart."&ndash; Alex Wells, author of&#160;Hunger Makes the Wolf&ldquo;This book is messed up in all the right ways. It&rsquo;s as if Pixar&rsquo;s&#160;Inside Out&#160;mugged&#160;Toy Story&#160;in a surrealist Raymond Chandler novel. Weird, fun, scary, and a great mystery to boot. Hayes sticks the landing.&rdquo;&mdash;Jennifer Brozek, Author of&#160;Never Let Me Sleep&#160;and&#160;The Last Days of Salton Academy."An immensely creative, bittersweet sugar rush of a fantasy-noir novel:&#160;Who Framed Roger Rabbit&#160;meets&#160;Paranoia Agent&#160;with a touch of creepy-cute&#160;Coraline&#160;atmosphere...&#160;I heartily recommend&#160;The Imaginary Corpse&#160;to any reader seeking a delightfully different book."&ndash;&#160;Wendy Trimboli, author of&#160;The Resurrectionist of Caligo"For adults who want to recapture some of their youthful imaginings, while reading an excellent book about trauma, forgiveness, and acceptance,&#160;The Imaginary Corpse&#160;will definitely fill that niche."&ndash; Mad Scientist Journal

The Imaginary Corpse

"Reza is fascinated by what almost always remains unsaid: What happens if we dare to speak our minds? Babylon is darker and more mysterious than the plays that have brought her the most renown ... 'People who think there&rsquo;s some orderly system to life&mdash;they&rsquo;re lucky,' Elisabeth reflects. Any reader who begins with such a belief will have it overturned by the end of Reza&rsquo;s haunting little tale." &mdash;Erica Wagner, The New York Times Book Review"The lightness of touch bordering on comedy that [Yasmina Reza] brings to an otherwise dark tale is a reminder of her strengths as a dramatic writer, and it all adds up to a strange and memorable short book." &mdash;The Sunday Times (UK)"...it is Ms. Reza&rsquo;s dissection of Elizabeth&rsquo;s malaise that is the real detective work here, and she renders it in a taut, unsparing prose style that is both exacting and unsettling ... There&rsquo;s no doubting Ms. Reza&rsquo;s powers as a novelist. At her best, she can remind one of no less than Albert Camus and Joan Didion (those bards of 20th-century despair). Writers may endure more than a twinge of envy at how effortlessly the author flits from successful playwriting to prose. It just ain&rsquo;t fair.&#160;But then &mdash; as the protagonist of this darkly compelling novel would have commented &mdash; what is?"&#160;&mdash;East Hampton Star"Starting always with real, concrete things, written in a style as clean and precise as an assassin&rsquo;s, and with a ravishing elegance, Reza draws us into her sarcastic digressions. She skewers our empty presumptions, and manipulates the paradoxes with an irresistible instinct for the dialectic. There is pain here, tears of great loss and abandonment ... And, throughout, a sense of exile&mdash;from self, from others ... Reza manages to express our most deeply hidden secrets, our subterranean feelings of anguish, the ones we are least able to share with others."&#160;&mdash;Telerama (five-star review) &#160;"For Reza truth is often to be found in the dark dance of the tragic and the absurd which fires all her writing. . . . Babylon [tells] the story of how the comfortable ordered lives of two middle-aged couples in the suburbs of Paris unravel over the course of an evening. But it is also a touching study of people living in exile from themselves. Everyone ... has been cut adrift from their youth and their dreams." &mdash;The Times of Israel
