*The #1 New Release in Children's Basketball Books on Amazon - December, 2019* ------- 4th grader Sam Spitero is used to hanging out at home after school playing video games and listening to music. But when his mom gets a new job with late hours, he's forced to switch his routine and go to an after-school program at the Boys & Girls Club-which he's not happy about. He likes playing basketball in the gym, but the kids from across town pick on him because he's short. But when Sam joins the club's new Hip-Hop Workshop, he makes friends with kids who share his same interest in music, and starts rapping under his new alias: Spit. The only problem is, he's too nervous to rap in front of anyone! As Spit and his friends prepare for the big Rap Royale talent show, they learn the steps to creating their own basketball-themed hip-hop song and performance from scratch. But after weeks of hard work and rehearsals, will Spit's stage fright hold them back from winning the grand prize? -------- Daniel Isenberg is a creative director at a global sports and entertainment marketing agency and a hip-hop music journalist who has written features for Complex, Pitchfork, XXL, Def Jam Records and more. He is also a Grammy-nominated songwriter for his work on Matisyahu's Youth LP. My Name is Spit: The Dunk Dance is inspired by Isenberg's seven years as the Cultural Arts Director at the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester, and his three basketball and music-loving children.

Fiction. "In the tradition of Karl May and Franz Kafka, Boris Vian imagines an American even more amazing that the land he has never visited. "I Spit on Your Graves" is the first novel to put the quotation marks around the "hardboiled" thriller -- a vivid and startling performance" (J. Hoberman). The book is Boris Vian's (1920-1959) sex-and-violence-filled homage to American noir. Originally published in France as J'rai Cracher Sur Vos Tombes -- after allegedly being censored in the U.S. and "translated" into French -- the novel was no best seller, establishing Vian as one of the most famous writers of the mid-twentieth century.

Features the modern hypocrite's favourite holiday destinations, sporting heroes and the hilarious Hypocrites' Ultimate Weekend.

For fans of The Grace Year and We Were Liars comes a mesmerizing, can't-put-it-down psychological thriller—a gender-flipped YA Great Gatsby that will linger long after the final line On wealthy Commodore Island, Fern is watching and waiting—for summer, for college, for her childhood best friend to decide he loves her. Then Ivy Avila lands on the island like a falling star. When Ivy shines on her, Fern feels seen. When they're together, Fern has purpose.

And soon, it's clear Ivy wants someone Fern can help her get. But as the two pull closer, Fern's cozy life on Commodore unravels: drought descends, fires burn, and a reckless night spins out of control. Everything Fern thought she understood—about her home, herself, the boy she loved, about Ivy Avila—twists and bends into something new. And Fern won't emerge the same person she was. An enthralling, mind-altering fever dream, Tell Me My Name is about the cost of being a girl in a world that takes so much, and the enormity of what is regained when we take it back.
