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.

As a sales rep for a small radio station, he has hopes of one day leaving it all behind for a successful writing career. When he is unexpectedly laid off from his job, Allyson encourages him to pursue his dream of writing. He writes a novel entitled "A Perfect Day," based on the last few months Allyson and her father spent together as he died of cancer.
The story becomes a huge success and Robert finds himself swept into a new world far from his wife and home.
