"Gripping. . . . A small gem that sparkles with hope, resilience and the Crescent City's unique, jazz-infused spirit."&#160;&mdash; Kirkus Reviews, starred review"Readers will quickly take a shine to Saint. . . . The food, music, and tempo of New Orleans all come to life. . . . While the tragedy of the event is not glossed over, the overall theme is one of hope."&#160;&mdash; School Library Journal, starred review"Provides a vivid description of what life was like in pre-Katrina New Orleans, and how quickly peoples' lives were shattered. The characters are well-developed, and readers truly will care about their fates."&#160;&mdash; Library Media Connection, starred review"Spare, moving. . . . Carefully crafted backstory. . . . Vividly portrays the force of the storm, and the authentic New Orleans setting works as a powerful character, adding an extra dimension."&#160;&mdash; The Horn Book"As the water rises, so does the suspense. . . . What lies at the heart of this story rings true: Saint's love for his neighborhood and his hard-earned hope for the future."&#160;&mdash; Booklist"Will obviously beg comparison with Jewell Parke Rhodes's Ninth Ward. . . . Both books are solid reads that feature likable protagonists with distinctive, readable voices, and emphasize the importance of faith, community, and resilience."&#160;&mdash; The Bulletin of the Center for Children&rsquo;s Books"Woods concludes on a realistically uncertain note. . . . Saint is an easy protagonist to love."&#160;&mdash; Publishers Weekly

A swift, tragicomic saga of idealism, avarice, and unfettered ambition-as illuminating about WeWork as the past decade of venture-funded grandiosity, and an excellent case study in the power of branding. Reeves Wiedeman has a talent for the artfully deployed, jaw-dropping detail; there seems to be one on every page. Reading this book gave me the sensation of visiting a Potemkin village after a storm: wires dangling, trompe l'oeil flats at a tilt. Batshit, unsettling, and wholly satisfying. -- Anna Wiener, author of Uncanny Valley

ABCs from Space: A Discovered Alphabet

This is a damn fine piece of work which is unbelievably powerful.&#8212;Dorothy Allison"This is not your mother's triumph-of-the-human-spirit memoir. Yes, Terry Galloway is resilient. But she's also caustic, depraved, utterly disinhibited, and somehow sweetly bubbly, a beguiling raconteuse who periodically leaps onto the dinner table and stabs you with her fork. Her story will fascinate, it will hurt, and you will like it."&#8212;Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home "The most uncomfortable laughter of the season."&#8212;Out"One of the finest, most nakedly honest and humorous autobiographies out there to be read. . . . Partly David Sedaris-esque in its slice-of-life essay moments, part slapstick farce, so very real, and always laugh out loud hilarious."&#8212;Rebecca Sarwate, Edge"[A] humorous and harrowing new memoir."&#8212;The Advocate"Told with understandable rage, quirky humor, and extraordinary humanity, this remarkable woman's engaging account deserves a large readership."&#8212;Booklist"A frank, bitingly humorous memoir."&#8212;Kirkus Reviews"[Galloway] is dexterous in her use of words and devastating with a sense of black humor that brings numerous laugh-out-loud delights."&#8212;John R. Killacky, The Gay and Lesbian Review"Galloway was born a storyteller, and her narrative gifts are in full force throughout, spinning yarns about herself and her family that mesmerize."&#8212;Robert Faires, Austin Chronicle

Praise for John D. MacDonald and the Travis McGee novels &#160; &ldquo;The great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller.&rdquo;&mdash;Stephen King &#160; &ldquo;My favorite novelist of all time . . . All I ever wanted was to touch readers as powerfully as John D. MacDonald touched me. No price could be placed on the enormous pleasure that his books have given me. He captured the mood and the spirit of his times more accurately, more hauntingly, than any &lsquo;literature&rsquo; writer&mdash;yet managed always to tell a thunderingly good, intensely suspenseful tale.&rdquo;&mdash;Dean Koontz &#160; &ldquo;To diggers a thousand years from now, the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen.&rdquo;&mdash;Kurt Vonnegut &#160; &ldquo;A master storyteller, a masterful suspense writer . . . John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all of us in the field. Talk about the best.&rdquo;&mdash;Mary Higgins Clark &#160; &ldquo;A dominant influence on writers crafting the continuing series character . . . I envy the generation of readers just discovering Travis McGee, and count myself among the many readers savoring his adventures again.&rdquo;&mdash;Sue Grafton &#160; &ldquo;One of the great sagas in American fiction.&rdquo;&mdash;Robert B. Parker &#160; &ldquo;Most readers loved MacDonald&rsquo;s work because he told a rip-roaring yarn. I loved it because he was the first modern writer to nail Florida dead-center, to capture all its languid sleaze, racy sense of promise, and breath-grabbing beauty.&rdquo;&mdash;Carl Hiaasen &#160; &ldquo;The consummate pro, a master storyteller and witty observer . . . John D. MacDonald created a staggering quantity of wonderful books, each rich with characterization, suspense, and an almost intoxicating sense of place. The Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author and they retain a remarkable sense of freshness.&rdquo;&mdash;Jonathan Kellerman &#160; &ldquo;What a joy that these timeless and treasured novels are available again.&rdquo;&mdash;Ed McBain &#160; &ldquo;Travis McGee is the last of the great knights-errant: honorable, sensual, skillful, and tough. I can&rsquo;t think of anyone who has replaced him. I can&rsquo;t think of anyone who would dare.&rdquo;&mdash;Donald Westlake &#160; &ldquo;There&rsquo;s only one thing as good as reading a John D. MacDonald novel: reading it again. A writer way ahead of his time, his Travis McGee books are as entertaining, insightful, and suspenseful today as the moment I first read them. He is the all-time master of the American mystery novel.&rdquo;&mdash;John Saul
