Ain’t No Chicken in My Chicken Potpie! is a fun, simple story with a good lesson about life that every child should learn. Written in rhyme, the story takes place at Kathy’s Diner. A man and his dog go to the diner and order chicken potpie. When the man discovers that there is no chicken in his chicken potpie, he becomes furious and angry. The waitress convinces him to try the potpie, with all its healthy vegetables. He agrees to try it and is surprised to discover how delicious it is without the chicken. Unbeknownst to the man, Kathy’s Diner actually is a safe haven for chickens. Children will have fun searching for the chickens inside and outside of the diner. The life lesson that this story emphasizes is the importance of learning early in life that we don’t always get what we want. By understanding this, we will be more appreciative and will make the best of what we do get, and learn and grow from it. The story promotes the vegan choice and also provides a chance for parents to discuss with their children how their choices can affect the lives of animals.

A resident of one of LA's toughest neighborhoods uses his blistering intellect to solve the crimes the LAPD ignores. East Long Beach. The LAPD is barely keeping up with the neighborhood's high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood has taken it upon himself to help solve the cases the police can't or won't touch. They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence. He charges his clients whatever they can afford, which might be a set of tires or a homemade casserole. To get by, he's forced to take on clients that can pay. This time, it's a rap mogul whose life is in danger. As Isaiah investigates, he encounters a vengeful ex-wife, a crew of notorious cutthroats, a monstrous attack dog, and a hit man who even other hit men say is a lunatic. The deeper Isaiah digs, the more far reaching and dangerous the case becomes.

Truth is deadlier than fiction in this “sleek, sophisticated, over-the-top story that’s filled with red herrings, laugh-aloud humor, and plenty of suspense” (Booklist). The author calls himself the Answer Man. He introduces himself to Stewart Hoag—onetime literary darling of the New York scene—with a letter begging for help with his first novel. Hoagy usually ignores such requests, but the Answer Man’s sample chapter grabs his attention. It is a chilling, first-person story about a man who picks up a girl in a pet shop, takes her home, and savagely murders her. The imagery is clear, the prose strong, and the storytelling as truthful as though the author had actually lived it. When he opens the next morning’s paper, Hoagy realizes he was reading nonfiction. A young pet shop employee has been bludgeoned to death, and the crime’s details match those in the manuscript. As the Answer Man keeps killing, he continues writing letters asking Hoagy to collaborate with him. If Hoagy can’t stop him soon, he may find himself starring in the book’s next chapter.
