Henry Green is a boy who loves chocolate. He likes it bitter,
sweet, dark, light, and daily; for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and
snacks; in cakes, candy bars, milk, and every other form you can
possibly imagine. Henry probably loves chocolate more than any boy
in the history of the world. One day-it starts off like any other
day-Henry finds that strange things are happening to him. First he
makes medical history with the only case of Chocolate Fever ever.
Then he finds himself caught up in a wild and hilarious chase,
climaxed by a very unusual hijacking
Peter thinks the only way he can reclaim his room is by declaring war on his grandfather.

When a new friend tells him that the squeaky wheel gets the grease,
Mark Baker realizes that unless he finds the courage to confront
his life, things will probably get worse. Mark's world has been
turned upside down by the split between his parents. He's been
forced to leave his old neighborhood and his old friends. Now he's
living with his mother in a new apartment in a new town. Mark still
longs to be back in his old school, once again to ride his bike, to
go on living in the house where he grew up. But it's the loss of
his father that worries Mark most of all. The man he depended on
seeing every day is disappearing from his life. This deeply felt
novel explores the angry territory of a child trapped in a war
between parents he truly loves. Does Mark have any rights at all?
And how can he find a road past feuding parents so he can get on
with his life? With understanding, compassion, and surprising
humor, Robert Kimmel Smith has created a story that gives us a
fresh look at the most disturbing aspects of divorce.
Sadie Shapiro is the heroine of one of the funniest, warmest novels
in years. Sadie is seventy-two years old, or perhaps, seventy-five
(she isn't quite sure) and lives in the Mount Eden Senior Citizens
Hotel. When she submits 50 of her best knitting patterns to an
ailing publishing firm, the course of her life changes. Not only is
her book published, but Sadie becomes the peoples' darling, the
pure-gold TV talk show guest who knits herself into the fabric of
myth. A big-hearted, moving, hilariously irresistible book.
