Dad Camp: A Novel
by Evan S. PorterA heartwarming novel about a loving dad who drags his eleven-year-old daughter to &“father-daughter week&” at a remote summer camp—their last chance to bond before he loses her to teenage girlhood entirely. After his daughter, Avery, was born, John gave it all up—hobbies, friends, a dream job—to be something more: a super dad. Since then, he&’s spent nearly every waking second with Avery, who&’s his absolute best bud. Or, at least, she was. When now eleven-year-old Avery begins transforming into an eye-rolling zombie of a preteen who dreads spending time with him, a desperate John whisks her away for a weeklong father-daughter retreat to get their relationship back on track before she starts middle school. But John&’s attempts to bond only seem to drive his daughter further away, and his instincts tell him Avery&’s hiding something more than just preteen angst. Even worse, the camp is far from the idyllic getaway he had in mind. John finds himself navigating a group of toxic dads that can&’t seem to get along, cringe-worthy forced bonding activities, and a camp director that has it out for him. With camp and summer break slipping away fast, John&’s determined to conquer it all for a chance to become Avery&’s hero again. This brilliant and deeply funny father-daughter story is perfect for fans of poignant and hilarious books like The Guncle by Steven Rowley, Steve Martin&’s family classic Cheaper by the Dozen, and Judd Apatow&’s bighearted comedies.

by James Weidmann Josh WeidmannListen Up, Dads! Your Teen Is Talking to You! As exasperating as parenting can be during these volatile years, your teen is depending on you for steady faithfulness, love, and guidance. And because teens often find words elusive and expression difficult, they probably haven't told you the things they wish you somehow automatically knew. So let Dad, If You Only Knew... be your guide. Josh Weidmann, just out of the teen years himself, joins his father, James, to help dads understand where their kids are coming from. It's a messy world they live in, and meeting them in it is no simple task. But knowing these essentials now makes fatherhood eight times easier!Welcome to Your Teen's World It doesn't matter if you have the most picture-perfect, ideal-in-every-way teen or one who's in full-swing rebellion. That teen you love is a "riddle wrapped in a mystery." No father can know what his teen is really thinking. That's why youth communicator Josh Weidmann teamed with his father, Jim, to help you bridge the gap. In Dad, If You Only Knew...you'll get an open, honest glimpse inside the teen mind. Josh's extensive research, combined with pointed direction from a father's heart, provide you with the practical guidance you need to establish a healthy, thriving father-teen relationship. It's one you desire, your teen needs, and you both can't afford to miss. Story Behind the Book"The resounding cry of teens for their fathers rings in my ear. I have been speaking to youth for five years and the greatest void I see in teens' lives is the one left by their dad. I am only twenty-three years old myself, and to this day I can say that my dad is the most influential man in my life. Because of his impact, I have asked him share in this book. We have written this message in hopes of helping dads reengage in the vital father-teen relationship." --Josh WeidmannFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

Dad Is Fat
by Jim GaffiganIn Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who's best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children--everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers' communication skills ("they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news"), to the eating habits of four year olds ("there is no difference between a four year old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor"). Reminiscent of Bill Cosby's Fatherhood, Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home.
