The Wild, Hilarious, and Unexpected Adventures of Richard Rezendes
Step into the chaotic, comedic, and sometimes bizarre world of Richard Rezendes. A Little Bit of Everything is a collection of 50 short stories that explore everything from wild sports memories and life-altering experiences to off-the-wall tales that will make you laugh out loud.
Richard's stories take you on a journey through unforgettable moments, like building a disco in his apartment with a carpet dance floor, plexiglass tiles, and colorful lights. Parties with Brown University students, hilarious mishaps, and a bold life on the East Side of Providence paint a picture of a man who lived unapologetically and embraced the unpredictable. You'll find yourself in fits of laughter one moment and reminiscing about the chaos of life the next.
Cherished by millions of readers, this #1 New York Times bestselling novel is a powerful tale of perseverance and hope. Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park interweaves the stories of two Sudanese children who overcome mortal dangers to improve their lives and the lives of others.
A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about two eleven-year-olds in Sudan, a girl in 2008 and a boy in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours' walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay.
Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya's in an astonishing and moving way. Includes an afterword by author Linda Sue Park and the real-life Salva Dut, on whom the novel is based, and who went on to found Water for South Sudan.
--Emily Henry "Dazzling, tender, and romantic." --Carley Fortune Lifelong best friends spend a fateful summer discovering what might happen if they were to be something more in this radiant, heart-clenching adult debut. Laniah Thompson is a homebody who craves privacy. Issac Jordan is internet famous and spends his days followed by paparazzi. She runs a small business with her mom in her hometown. He runs an international brand. And they've been best friends since childhood. When Issac comes home to Providence for the first time in months and discovers Laniah's dream is slipping out of reach as she and her mom struggle to pay the bills at Wildly Green, their natural hair store, she refuses to take a dime from him. And so, he does what any self-respecting best friend would do: tells the world they're dating. Suddenly business is booming, and Laniah agrees to his ridiculous plan to pretend to be lovers for the course of the summer. Just long enough to catch the eye of an investor and get her dream back on track, like she helped him do so many years ago, he reminds her. Too soon, though, Laniah knows she's playing with fire, because for as long as they've been friends there's an undeniable pull they've never given in to. And as the lines between art and life--real and pretend--blur, it becomes harder and harder to see where friendship ends and something else begins.... Told over the course of three sizzling summer months, A Love Like the Sun is about shared history, those who make us our bravest selves, and love in its many forms.
