Books with author Jim Pascoe

High school and the difficult terrain of sexuality and gender identity are brilliantly explored in this smart, incisive ethnography. Based on eighteen months of fieldwork in a racially diverse working-class high school, Dude, You're a Fag sheds new light on masculinity both as a field of meaning and as a set of social practices. C. J. Pascoe's unorthodox approach analyzes masculinity as not only a gendered process but also a sexual one. She demonstrates how the "specter of the fag" becomes a disciplinary mechanism for regulating heterosexual as well as homosexual boys and how the "fag discourse" is as much tied to gender as it is to sexuality.

She can do anything-and you can help her! Badical Battles! (Pick a Villain Chapter Book #2): Featuring four original mini-adventures, Badical Battles! asks you to pick which evil villain Kim will face. No big, huh? Well, we're not done yet! Next, you must choose how to help Kim, Ron, and Rufus defeat their evil schemes and save the world. How about it? Are you ready to face Monkey Fist's monkey kung fu? Or are the super-fast fem-bot Killer Bebes more your speed? Can you put a stop to the latest take-over-the-world scheme of Señor Senior Sr.?

While Kim is busy searching for a missing rocket scientist, her cheerleading archrival Bonnie takes the opportunity to try to steal her spot as team captain. The scientist-napper in question turns out to be Duff Killigan, a kilt-wearing Scot with anger-management issues. Is Killigan really after military secrets? Or does he want the scientist's formula for fast-growing grass so he can turn the entire Pacific Coast into his own private golf course?

Kim Possible's rocket scientist dad, Dr. Possible, is getting ready for his big class reunion when his brainy buddies begin to disappear. No big for Kim, who quickly cracks the case. Turns out the kidnappers are a trio of robotic warrior women named Bebe, Bebe, and Bebe. The real question is why? Why would someone send killer Bebes to kidnap a bunch of geeky guys? Strangely enough, the answer may be buried in Dr. Possible's past . . . and the evil Dr. Drakken's.
