"I never intended to become a zombie huntress; I had only intended to protest prom, high school’s last bastion of patriarchal society. I felt bad for the girls in my school, who flocked to prom like it was the second coming of Christ, complete with double-rainbows and unicorns." —Clarissa Hargrove in VEGAN TEENAGE ZOMBIE HUNTRESS * * * * * Clarissa Hargrove thinks prom sucks. She’s been protesting it for weeks, but the conformist sheep that go to Redvale High could care less. Not one single girl has ditched her prom gown in the name of feminism, except for Clarissa’s loyal, underappreciated BFF Cokie. But Clarissa is still on a mission to save more souls—she’ll be at prom, with her bullhorn and picket signs, telling girls they have one last chance to ditch their hooker heels and claim their independence before high school is over. That night, Clarissa drags Cokie to school to protest, but almost everyone at prom has turned into flesh-eating monsters. Trapped in a high-school zombie hellhole, the girls realize they’ve never taken a chance on love, and set out on dangerous quest to save their crushes. But there’s one teensy little problem. Clarissa is vegan and hates violence of any kind. Will Cokie and Clarissa survive? A mashup of hilarious pop culture hits like Daria, Mean Girls, and Shaun of the Dead, VEGAN TEENAGE ZOMBIE HUNTRESS will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

A Children's Book About Beer?Yes, believe it or not—but B Is for Beer is also a book for adults, and bear in mind that it's the work of maverick bestselling novelist Tom Robbins, inter-nationally known for his ability to both seriously illuminate and comically entertain.nce upon a time (right about now) there was a planet (how about this one?) whose inhabitants consumed thirty-six billion gallons of beer each year (it's a fact, you can Google it). Among those affected, each in his or her own way, by all the bubbles, burps, and foam, was a smart, wide-eyed, adventurous kindergartner named Gracie; her distracted mommy; her insensitive dad; her non-conformist uncle; and a magical, butt-kicking intruder from a world within our world.Populated by the aforementioned characters—and as charming as it may be subversive—B Is for Beer involves readers, young and old, in a surprising, far-reaching investigation into the limits of reality, the transformative powers of children, and, of course, the ultimate meaning of a tall, cold brewski.

But the universe has other plans. ----------------------------------------------- In the hilarious follow-up to VEGAN TEENAGE ZOMBIE HUNTRESS, we meet Joe and Mike, two other kids from Redvale High, the dudes who used to steal brownies from Clarissa’s anti-prom table. Joe and Mike are staying in on prom night, with the intent of celebrating the end of high school, except Joe feels bad after a run-in with one of Dad’s friends, who reminds him that his high school career was a waste and he might be a loser. Then, he and Mike end up having to babysit little sister Ruby, a three-year-old wild child and escape artist. So much for partying. When Ruby ends up back upstairs with Mom, Joe and Mike finally celebrate with the aid of some special brownies. Except they don’t make Joe feel any better. He only feels worse—much worse.
