"What it lacks in subtlety, the warning against violence and guns makes up for in prudence….an uplifting bedtime narrative.” — Kirkus Reviews“A good story with some great illustrations, and has a great theme of team work.” — Mundie Kids"This cautionary tale presents the possible repercussions of violence and other forms of mischievous behavior yet also demonstrates how teamwork can help unify and achieve common goals. A good read-aloud and discussion starter for young children.” — School Library Journal"...theme that actions have consequences.

Bang Bang I Hurt the Moon

Reviews for the Ericka Blackwood Files

'Frighteningly plausible and deftly written, The Hacker takes you on a harrowing journey into the dark reaches of modern technology. Daniel Scanlan's debut is a thrilling roller coaster of twists and turns that will have you racing through its pages. Riveting to the very end!' Boyd Morrison. 

'A thoroughly disturbing lightning paced thriller, packed with action and intrigue. Dark and twisted and horribly captivating. Scanlan delivers a frighteningly believable world where the line between digital and physical blurs most in the shadows' Ian Green. 

'Tense, gripping, brutal, scary - The Hacker has everything you'd want from a thriller. A tough and all-too-believable heroine who has demons to contend with matches wits and skills with an evil spider at the centre of his wicked web... Who will win this sadistic game? Perfect for fans of Stieg Larsson' P.R. Black. 

'Frighteningly plausible... A modern, thrilling novel that moves along at high speed and hurtles towards its dénouement' Promoting Crime Fiction

What people are saying about The 30-Minute Shakespeare series:&#147;&#133;A truly fun, emotional, and sometimes magical first experience&#133;guided by a sagacious, knowledgeable, and intuitive educator.&#8221;&#151;Library Journal&#147;A master at engaging students in theprocess of performing a Shakespearescene.&#8221; --Janet Field-Pickering, head ofeducation, Folger Shakespeare Library&#147;Wonderfully informative and fun.You can&#8217;t do better.&#8221; &#150;Charles P. Lord,Headmaster, St. Timothy&#8217;s SchoolBaltimore, MD&#147;Truly an advocate of the child, of the arts and of humanity.&#8221;--Tia Powell HarrisEducation, Kennedy Center'From a teacher's perspective, this book was a great way to introduce students to a Shakespeare play they otherwise might never have encountered in high school&#133; much more fun working with the adaptation than it might have been if i had tackled the full script. I strongly recommend this book (and the rest of the series) to educators who want to introduce a variety of Shakespeare plays to their students in a limited amount of time.--James Brendlinger, Chairman, Department of Arts and CommunicationsLake Lowell High School, Winter Park, FL&#147;Nick Newlin&#8217;s 30-minute play cuttingsare perfect for students who have noexperience with Shakespeare.

Macbeth: The 30-Minute Shakespeare

&#147;A rollercoaster ride inside the haunted house of American multi cultural sin and shame.  Violent and smart and funny.  I am excited by this new writer.&#8221;&#151;Sherman Alexie&#147;The voice is gold.&#8221;&#151;Publishers Weekly&#147;Peter Nathaniel Malae is the real deal. He&#8217;s like a young Nelson Algren or Richard Wright, one of those writers who can hit with both hands.&#8221;&#151;Russell Banks&#147;Gives flesh and voice to a &#145;Me Generation&#8217; poet of mixed heritage and tortured outlook.&#8221;&#151;The New York Times Book Review&#147;Malae possesses a prodigious command of the masculine American idiom and its ironies. Paul is that rarest of literary creatures these days: a hard-living, oft-brawling, culturestraddling, foul-mouthed juggernaut, one who&#8217;s as liable to throw a punch as he is to break your heart.&#8221;&#151;Rattawut Lapcharoensap&#147;Compelling . . . [A] deeply felt portrait of an outsider who is appalled by much of what he sees around him in a surreal Silicon Valley populated largely by grotesques. Malae&#8217;s writing is . . . filled with allusions and aphorisms that range from Nietzsche to Kerouac to crystal-meth zombies.&#8221;&#151;Booklist&#147;Malae&#8217;s writing is palpably masculine . . . as if you can see the muscles bulging in his arms as he writes.&#8221;&#151;San Francisco Chronicle&#147;Readers who enjoy . . . Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis should definitely try Malae.&#8221;&#151;Library Journal

"Especially notable new book." - Booklist"A thought-provoking exploration of fear, shyness, and the power of communication and connection." -- Booklist"A thought-provoking exploration of fear, shyness, and the power of communication and connection." -- Booklist"Urberuaga's simply drawn illustrations, heavily outlined in black and using a richly saturated palette, perfectly complement the charm and humor of the story....A tale gently told of finding our inner strengths." - Kirkus Reviews"Charming." -- School Library Journal"A funny story about shyness and how to overcome it…. All of [NubeOcho’s] books promote respectful attitude towards all types of diversity. They are also a playful medium that makes it easier to engage in first experiences and feelings that the little ones may not easily understand. I like that that books offer underlying themes or teachable ideas, especially for little kids that sometimes have a hard time expressing themselves and their feelings." - The Review Wire

Carlota Wouldn't Say Boo

"Fox [also] tackles the SF thriller mode with panache. Can Elvis's belly fat save the world? Read it and see!"&mdash;Locus&#147;Fox unveils more all-too-plausible bits of the future and has us laughing to keep from crying.&#8221;&#151;Booklist, starred review&#147;The Good Humor Man is an intensely interesting, wild ride through a wickedly accurate depiction of the American psyche...a witty, incisive satire all on its own. By turns heartbreaking and mesmerizingly grotesque, The Good Humor Man is well worth the read.&#8221;&#151;io9.com&#147;The Good Humor Man is hilarious, trenchant, important, and the story of Dr. Louis Schmalzberg&#8217;s search for the jar of liposuctioned Elvis fat that may save America is impossible to put down. Andrew Fox writes like a combination of Kurt Vonnegut, Dave Barry, and Molly Ivins....&#8221;&#151;Lucius Shepard &#147;A Fahrenheit 451 for the post-millennium, told with Fox&#8217;s magnificent evocation of place and twisted humor. Wonderful!&#8221;&#151;Kage Baker, author of In the Company of Thieves&#147;...keeps the pages turning.... I&#8217;d suggest playing &#145;Heartbreak Hotel&#8217; and grabbing a bag of chips for ambiance.&#8221;&#151;Electric City

The Good Humor Man

&#147;A strange, brooding novel. . . . Great immediacy, power, and beauty.&#8221; &#151;The Washington Post&#147;A powerful fascination . . . vivid and haunting; the style is a triumph.&#8221; &#151;New York Herald Tribune&#147;When Susan Sontag, in her foreword to this book, calls Pedro P&#225;ramo &#145;one of the masterpieces of 20th-century world literature,&#8217; she is not being hyperbolic. With its dense interweaving of time, its routine interaction of the living and the dead, its surreal sense of the everyday, and with simultaneous&#151;and harmonious&#151;coexistence of apparently incompatible realities, this brief novel by the Mexican writer Juan Rulfo strides through unexplored territory with a sure and determined step. . . . Having it now in all its depth and texture is a major event for which the publisher and the translator, Margaret Sayers Peden, deserve thanks.&#8221; &#151;James Polk, New York Times Book Review&#147;No reader interested in the vitality of 20th century Latin American fiction can afford to miss this work.&#8221; &#151;Rockwell Gray, Chicago Tribune&#147;As close to perfect as a piece of writing gets.&#8221; &#151;Sheila Farr, Seattle Weekly&#147;A modern classic. . . . Peden&#8217;s lucid translation does justice to a tale that is firmly rooted in its own culture yet so fundamentally human in its focus that it speaks across cultural borders.&#8221; &#151;Publishers Weekly

Praise for Forest of a Thousand Lanterns:A Junior Library Guild SelectionA New York Public Library - Best Book for Teens 2017"A richly developed fantasy world coupled with an ambitious anti-heroine of complex agency, this story shines and surprises at every turn.&#160;Julie C. Dao is a talent to watch."&mdash;Marie Lu, #1&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;The Young Elites&#9733; "A masterful reimagining of the early life of Snow  White&rsquo;s Evil Queen. Subverting the all-too-white world of fairy tales,  this novel will trap readers in a lush, dangerously dark, and often  beautiful world from which they will want no escape.

The demons [Xifeng]  faces are both literal and metaphorical, external and internal, and her  tug-of-war with the forces driving her down a dark path makes for tantalizing reading.
