PolyTicks, DeMocKrazy & MumboJumbo: Babus, Mantris & Netas (Un)Making Our Nation
by Avay ShuklaAn uproariously funny, no-holds-barred tussle with India's entire canvas: political culture and current affairs, the environment and conservation, the bureaucracy and governance, legal matters, social issues, societal peccadilloes, and anything else that can be lampooned. The foibles are treated with indulgent banter, the failures with wit and raillery of the highest order. Avay Shukla is an original voice. A major discovery.
Política A La Italiana: sin parmesano, por favor
by Luca ZenobiLa astucia y las competencias comunicativas seguramente ayudan a encontrar el camino más corto para llegar al corazón del elector. La verdad es que este tesoro a menudo no se comprende, intercambiando la política por la comunicación política. Así, nos encontramos personajes faltos de contenidos serios, incluso a menudo desinteresados en los contenidos serios, pero muy hábiles en la persuasión de masas. No importa lo que sea verdad, o lo que no sea verdad, lo que cuenta es lo que el personaje consiga emocionar al público. La buena noticia es que el pueblo italiano es creativo y después de Berlusconi, Grillo y Renzi, ya inventará algo nuevo sin lugar a dudas.

He can't find his blanky, Timmington. And to make matters worse, his baby brother, Boo Boo, is playing with his favorite toy. Harrumph! By the time he arrives at school, Pom Pom is in a terrible mood. When his friends ask if he wants to play, that terrible mood comes pouring out: &“LEAVE ME ALONE!&” And that's exactly what happens, much to Pom Pom's surprise. From the creator of Where Bear? comes an adorable story that'll be sure to cheer up any child (or parent) who woke up with a case of the grumps.Praise for Pom Pom Panda Gets the Grumps"Henn effortlessly portrays Pom Pom's grumpiness and frustration in her illustrations. Young readers will gleefully follow his expressions . . . Preschoolers will empathize with Pom Pom's bad day and his inability to articulate his feelings. Grumpy yet lovable Pom Pom Panda will help readers understand that bad days can happen for no reason at all."–Kirkus Reviews"[L]ittle ones will likely chuckle at the panda&’s over-the-top surliness and find comfort in the fact that Pom Pom&’s friends forgive him for his grouchy outburst."–Booklist"Henn is a polished visual storyteller with a firm grasp of pacing and a disciplined approach to text. She supplies enough props to give distinct character to the spreads, yet keeps the pages tidy and legible. Good fun."–Publishers Weekly

Pomona Afton Can So Solve a Murder: A Novel
by Bellamy Rose&“Enormously fun, witty, and warm, Pomona Afton is the heiress-turned-underdog that you&’ll definitely be rooting for.&”—Kristin Perrin, nationally bestselling author of How to Solve Your own Murder A spoiled heiress must investigate her grandmother&’s death in order to gain back her trust fund, all while discovering how to be her own person and maybe even in falling in love in this rom-com meets murder mystery.When Pomona Afton, Upper East Side hotel heiress, stumbles out of a gala and upon the scene of her grandmother&’s murder, her first thought is that the society queen won&’t be missed for her kind, cookie-baking ways. In fact, she was mean, greedy, and paranoid—so paranoid that she secretly slipped a clause into her will mandating that, should she die an unnatural death, all the family assets get frozen. And if the &“unnatural death&” isn&’t explained? Those accounts stay frozen. Practically overnight, Pomona is locked out of her penthouse with no other option than to move in with a roommate: Gabe, the irritable (yet handsome) son of her former nanny. Not only is his apartment cramped, but it doesn&’t even have a doorman. Or a chef! Pom needs someone to solve this murder, like, yesterday, so she can get her trust fund back. And Gabe? He needs this murder solved because that&’s the only way his mother, who toiled for the Afton family for years, will ever get the retirement money she deserves. As Pom&’s family clams up, blocking the police at every turn, Pom quickly realizes that if she wants her glamorous life back, she&’s going to have to put on her big-girl Manolos and do it herself…with the help of Gabe, who she&’s falling for more and more by the day. Can Pomona Afton (who previously couldn&’t solve a crossword in the bath on a hungover Sunday) actually solve this murder? And if she does return to her former life of luxury, will it be worth the possibility of losing Gabe?

Ponder: A Novel
by Daniel RobertsA darkly comic tale of love and loss in Walt Disney World at the turn of the millennium Murray &“Cheese&” Marks and John Apple, his slimmer, richer, more single friend, have chosen the happiest place on Earth for their annual boys&’ trip. Disney World may seem like a strange choice for two grown men on a glorified binge-drinking trip; it is. But Cheese has never been, and his wife allows him this expense-free trip. The Magic Kingdom was the last place John saw his parents before they died in a plane crash. John Apple was twelve then and wanted to return before he turned thirty. Cheese and John&’s buddy-comedy turns into a love-triangle drama when they meet a beautiful, free-spirited southern Belle named Virginia. John and Cheese quickly fall in love—but Virginia&’s parents inexplicably push her not toward the handsome, single millionaire, but toward Cheese. And Cheese can&’t help but encourage it—at least until his wife and John&’s ex descend on Florida.Ponder is the second novel from Daniel Roberts, author of the USA Today bestselling Bar Maid, and showcases the same sardonic style that Kirkus praised as &“old-school, slightly surreal humor [that] has a dash of Barthelme or Perelman.&”

As much as he dislikes kitties, he's equally passionate about his love for Chazz. Poncho will do just about anything to keep his position as man's best friend secure, including enduring the physical torments of Chazz's passion for biking, camping, and mountain climbing, which he can only get through with the help of classic Russian literature and a nice cup of tea.
