Business, war, love and a world traveling chocolate lab named Java all converge on a 10,000 mile road trip taken by a former Green Beret trying to build something meaningful in America - but not yet knowing how to do it. Great businesses don't always have great starts. In the summer of 2010, Green Beret Jason McCarthy was going through a divorce, separating from the military, and struggling with money issues. He used his new company GORUCK as an excuse to drive to all lower 48 states with his dog Java, to meet people and get into adventures, while searching for how to rebuild in America. How Not To Start A Backpack Company is about losing your way, losing the love of your life, and finding your way back to both - the hard way. It's an intimate and raw look at the personal struggles that almost killed GORUCK long before it became a $100 million company. And above all, it's a story of the importance of chasing your dreams with everything you got, no matter the cost. Direct from Jason: In between years at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business, I decided not to pursue a traditional internship path. Instead, I drove around the county to all 48 contiguous states with my dog Java to pursue what was little more than a hobby at the time: GORUCK. I lost a bunch of money, didn't sell any backpacks, and everyone else who came with me left, but I had a great front row seat to watch my life burn down before my very eyes. The silver lining was that this trip became instrumental in turning things around because I was motivated to not live in flames. This is not a traditional business or entrepreneurship book. There are a lot of pictures of the early days, a few pages from the original business plan (that I threw away), a journal I kept along the road that I never published, email exchanges with my then almost ex-wife, and some cautionary tales ... hell, it's almost one enormous cautionary tale. But above all I hope my story inspires others to NOT wait for the perfect time to follow their dreams, but just to get going and figure it out on the move. -JJM

When Annie unzips her backpack and finds a monster inside, it’s hard to say who is more shocked. "AAAAHHHH!" yells the monster. "EEEEEEKKKK!" yells Annie. Then the monster proceeds to gobble up Annie’s sandwich, put gum in her boot, and tear up her homework to use as confetti for an "Annie is great" parade during class. With perfect comic timing, this charming story depicts a young girl’s shift from annoyance to affection as a disarming monster makes an untimely appearance.

“Boelts lays out Ruben’s ethical dilemma and emotional turmoil without preaching, and his struggle toward the moral choice . . . is both dramatic and genuine.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) Ruben feels like he is the only kid without a bike. His friend Sergio reminds him that his birthday is coming, but Ruben knows his family can’t afford that. So when Ruben sees a dollar bill fall out of someone’s purse, he picks it up and puts it in his pocket. But when he gets home, he discovers it’s not one dollar or even five or ten — it’s a hundred-dollar bill, more than enough for a new bike just like Sergio’s! Finders keepers, right? Presenting a relatable story with subtlety and heart, the creative team behind Those Shoes pairs up again for a story about how hard it can be to do the right thing.
