Twelve-year-old Mysti Murphy wishes she were a character in a book. If her life were fictional, she'd magically know how to deal with the fact that her best friend, Anibal Gomez, has abandoned her in favor of being a "hipster." She'd be able to take care of everyone when her dad has to spend time in the hospital. And she'd certainly be able to change her family's secret.Seventh grade is not turning out the way Mysti had planned. With the help of a hot-hair balloon, her new friend Rama Khan--and maybe even the heroes of the Texas Revolution--can she find the courage to change?

Children and parents will find lots to laugh about in indie-rocker Tim Harrington’s first picture book, This Little Piggy. Everybody knows the this-little-piggy game—the big toe is the little piggy who went to market, and the baby toe is the little piggy who went wee wee wee all the way home. But what about the toes on the other foot? It turns out none of those piggies is eating roast beef…. One is playing the drums. One is riding a go-kart. One is dancing. One is flying a plane. And one of the little piggies has built a rocket ship and is traveling into outer space! Now that Les Savy Fav’s Tim Harrington has added his own hilarious twist, the game of this-little-piggy will never be the same. There is also a free song online that parents can download to go along with the text.

My name is Madison Avery, and I'm here to tell you that there's more out there than you can see, hear, or touch. Because I'm there. Seeing it. Touching it. Living it.

She has no idea why the dark reaper who did her in was after her, but she's not about to just sit around and let fate take its course. With a little skilled light-bending, the help of a light reaper (one of the good guys . . . maybe), her cute crush, and oh yeah, her guardian angel, Madison's ready to take control of her own destiny once and for all, before it takes control of her. Well, if she believed in that stuff.

By buying this book you will have taken one of many steps to greatly improve your poker knowledge. In reality this is the difference between a good poker player and great poker player, knowledge! Knowledge comes from two aspects of one’s own game experience and applied theory. Although my knowledge has come from playing a lot of poker and admittedly early on in my carrier losing a lot of poker games. Through this process I learnt through trial and error but this is not something I would advise. You can vastly improve your learning curve by learning some basic poker math’s and strategies. Following the success of my first book “Poker Strategy: Every calculation you’ll need to know to win small and small stakes poker” I have written this book to follow on the aspects covered in the first book but in greater detail. To that end, this book will discuss everything you need to know in order to take your Texas Hold’em game to the next level. First, you will find an overview of the math required to play Hold’em and turn a profit at a serious level by learning all about probability. Next, you will learn about pot odds including both the ratio and percentage method as well as how to use them to gain an advantage over your opponents. From there you will learn about the importance of taking equity into account with every hand you play including betting for maximum value and calculating hand equity on the fly. Then you will learn how to calculate expected value from every action you take during a hand and why doing so can ensure your time playing Hold’em is profitable in the long term. You will then learn all about the theory behind combinatorics and how to determine the likelihood that your opponent is holding the pair of cards that will ruin your day. Finally, you will learn about several different strategies that take what you have learned into account so that you are ready for virtually any situation you find when you sit down at a table.If your ready to take your poker to the next level then this book is well worth picking up!
