The story of three punk rock witches, Alice, Hazel, and Maggie, who
cast spells with their songs to battle corporate demon jerks,
defeat rival witch bands, save the world, and get to the next gig.
Black Cat Social Club have been at this "band thing" for quite a
while, with limited success. (Bummer.) Despite their kick-ass punk
rock skills (and a little songcasting magic), these witchy women
have been struggling to reach their big break. Discouraged, bassist
Hazel sells her soul to a demon for more magical power, prompting
singer/lead guitarist Alice to step in and assume the debt herself!
Plus side, the band is killing it at their shows now. Downside?
They may literally be killing the entire world by fuelling these
corporate demons' evil plans, which for sure involve brimstone,
monsters... you know, the works! Can the band stop the apocalypse?
Is drummer Maggie's songwriting, uh, "technique" the key? Will the
demon Stan ever shut up?! If you've ever wished Josie and the
Pussycats had more demons, or Buffy was fronting a three-piece rock
band, you've found your next favourite book in Black Cat Social
Club!

"A compelling agricultural story skillfully told; environmentalists
will eat it up." - Kirkus Reviews When Bob Quinn was a kid, a
stranger at a county fair gave him a few kernels of an unusual
grain. Little did he know, that grain would change his life. Years
later, after finishing a PhD in plant biochemistry and returning to
his family’s farm in Montana, Bob started experimenting with
organic wheat. In the beginning, his concern wasn’t health or the
environment; he just wanted to make a decent living and some chance
encounters led him to organics. But as demand for organics grew, so
too did Bob’s experiments. He discovered that through time-tested
practices like cover cropping and crop rotation, he could produce
successful yields—without pesticides. Regenerative organic
farming allowed him to grow fruits and vegetables in cold, dry
Montana, providing a source of local produce to families in his
hometown. He even started producing his own renewable energy. And
he learned that the grain he first tasted at the fair was actually
a type of ancient wheat, one that was proven to lower inflammation
rather than worsening it, as modern wheat does. Ultimately, Bob’s
forays with organics turned into a multimillion dollar heirloom
grain company, Kamut International. In Grain by Grain, Quinn and
cowriter Liz Carlisle, author of Lentil Underground, show how his
story can become the story of American agriculture. We don’t have
to accept stagnating rural communities, degraded soil, or poor
health. By following Bob’s example, we can grow a healthy future,
grain by grain.
