  • Wonderfall

    Michael Hall

    Paperback (Scholastic Inc., March 15, 2017)
    This beautiful and informative picture book follows a single tree through the fall season, from the end of summer to winter's first snowfall. A great read-aloud for home and the classroom by the New York Times-bestselling creator of My Heart Is Like a Zoo and Red: A Crayon's Story. Wonderfall follows a single tree through the changing of the seasons. People, animals, and vehicles pass in front of the tree, celebrating holidays, playing in its leaves, and getting ready for winter. Fifteen combined words (thankful + fall = thankFALL, plentiful + fall = plentiFALL) underscore the themes and concepts of the season, while the main attraction-the beautiful tree-drops acorns, loses leaves, and provides food and a home for a pair of scurrying squirrels. Two full spreads at the back of the book offer additional information about the animals featured in the book, as well as the science behind squirrels, acorns, and saplings.

  • The Atomic Times: My H-Bomb Year at the Pacific Proving Ground

    Michael Harris

    Hardcover (Presidio Press, Sept. 27, 2005)
    SHOCKING, FUNNY, SAD AND RAUNCHYThe biggest and baddest of America’s atmospheric nuclear weapons test series, Redwing mixed saber rattling with mad science, while overlooking its cataclysmic human, geopolitical and ecological effects. But mostly, Redwing just messed with guys’ heads.“A gripping memoir...Leavened by humor, loyalty and pride of accomplishment, this book is a tribute to the resilience, courage and patriotism of the American soldier.” — Henry Kissinger“One of the best books I've ever read! Destined to become a classic.”— John G. Stoessinger, Ph.D., winner of the Bancroft Prize for International Affairs, member of the Council on Foreign Relations, former Acting Director for the Political Affairs Division at the U.N.“Shockingly honest...Deeply personal and politically profound.”— Sen. Charles Schumer“Hard to put down...Touching, horrifying and uproariously funny.”— Dr. Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics, Columbia University“Brilliantly conceived, elegantly rendered and persuasively authentic.”— Robert B. Parker, author of the Spenser and Jesse Stone series“An entertaining read in the bloodline of Catch-22, Harris achieves the oddest of victories: a funny, optimistic story about the H-bomb.”— Publishers Weekly“Absurd and terrifying....Bored, frightened, angry, and sexually frustrated, the men turn cruel, violent and suicidal. Harris' frank and disturbing descriptions of the criminally irresponsible proceedings on Eniwetok and the physical and mental pain he and others endured constitute shocking additions to atomic history.” — Booklist

  • Pulse: A Novel

    Michael Harvey

    Paperback (Ecco, July 2, 2019)
    “Looking for a terrific read? I highly recommend PULSE. . . It's a story to get lost in.” —Stephen King“Harvey’s lethal imagination is cranked to eleven in this one . . . his best yet by far. Superb!” — Lee ChildThe story of a Boston murder that defies all expectations—optioned for film by 21 Laps, the company behind Stranger Things and ArrivalBoston, 1976. In a small apartment above Kenmore Square, sixteen-year-old Daniel Fitzsimmons is listening to his landlord describe a seemingly insane theory about invisible pulses of light and energy that can be harnessed by the human mind. He longs to laugh with his brother Harry about it, but Harry doesn’t know he’s there—he would never approve of Daniel living on his own. None of that matters, though, because the next night Harry, a Harvard football star, is murdered in an alley. Detectives “Bark” Jones and Tommy Dillon are assigned to the case. The veteran partners thought they’d seen it all, but they are stunned when Daniel wanders into the crime scene. Even stranger, Daniel claims to have known the details of his brother’s murder before it ever happened. The subsequent investigation leads the detectives deep into the Fitzsimmons brothers’ past. They find heartbreaking loss, sordid characters, and metaphysical conspiracies. Even on the rough streets of 1970s Boston, Jones and Dillon have never had a case like this.Pulse is a novel laced with real danger and otherworldly twists—a master class by an endlessly gifted writer.
