But he never thinks he’ll end up yanked out of his city life and plunked down into a small Montana town with his dad and Edward, The Boyfriend. As if it’s not painful enough living in a hick town with spiked hair, a skateboard habit, and two dads, he soon realizes something’s not quite right with Billy, the boy next door. He’s hiding a secret about his family, and Ben is determined to uncover it and set things right. In an authentic, unaffected, and mordantly funny voice, Michael Harmon tells the wrenching story of an uprooted and uncomfortable teenaged guy trying to fix the lives around him–while figuring out his own.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDid you know that mosquitoes’ mouthparts are helping to develop pain-free surgical needles? Who'd have thought that the humble mussel could inspire so many useful things, from plywood production to a “glue” that can cement the crowns on teeth? Or that the design of polar bear fur may one day help keep humans warm in space? In everything from fashion to architecture, medicine to transportation, it may surprise you how many extraordinary inventions have been inspired by the natural world. Take the woodpecker as one incredible example. Woodpeckers can face up to 1,2000 Gs of force, but they’re protected from brain damage by the design of their beaks and skulls. These marvels of nature have inspired an array of cutting-edge ideas, from an advanced black box recorder for airplanes to an exceptionally strong bike helmet. In 30 Animals That Made Us Smarter, join wildlife biologist, TV host, and BBC podcaster Patrick Aryee as he tells stories of biomimicry, or innovations inspired by the natural world, which enrich our lives every day—and in some cases, save them. With Aryee’s infectious curiosity and sense of wonder as inspiration, venture with us into the hidden world of biomimicry. 30 Animals That Made Us Smarter will reveal animals’ exceptional powers and change the way you look at the natural world forever.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew York City falls into chaos when an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon is set off in orbit, triggering the most massive power failure and blackout in history. The blackout, whose epicenter is New York City, is far more serious than any ordinary mass power outage, since EMP destroys unprotected electrical and digital systems, including computers, automotive systems, radio and cellular communications, public transportation switching and control systems, street lighting and other vital infrastructure without which civilization can't function. The EMP pulse triggers multinational military and civil operations ranging from rescue to combat, while in the meantime New York's five boros are turned into a savage battleground in a concrete jungle where survival of the fittest has suddenly become the only law. To some city denizens, though, the blackout comes as a blessing in disguise, making it possible to stage and execute the heist of the century under cover of darkness ... The Blackout Heist. High-tech criminals posing as terrorists devise a method of blacking out the entire city of New York -- selectively by district -- by securing control of the national power grid. Their target has never before been so much as touched. This time will be different. Way different. The heist will go down among the greatest robberies in the history of criminal enterprise. The cops will be put out of action. The military will be out of gas. Emergency first responders will be stalled. The city of New York will be out of the vital electrical power its millions of inhabitants need to stay safe and secure. In the midst of this turmoil a determined band of professional thieves await the chance of a lifetime. It's the opportunity to make the score of a lifetime, if not the score of the century. The big money job has been planned for years, and now the time has come to make the final move and net an almost unimaginable fortune in looted treasure. The Blackout Heist. By #1 New York Times bestselling author David Alexander.
