In Pittacus Lore’s The Rise of Nine, third in the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series, the stakes are higher than ever as John, Six, and Seven try desperately to find the rest of the Garde before it’s too late. The Mogadorians who destroyed the planet Lorien continue to hunt down the Garde, the small group of Loric survivors who have taken refuge on Earth. The Garde must come together. They are Lorien and Earth’s only hope. During the dangerous mission at the Mogadorian base in West Virginia, John found and rescued Nine. But even with their combined powers, special abilities known as Legacies, the pair barely escaped with their lives—and they lost Sam in the process. In order to save our world and their own, John and Nine must join forces with Six and Seven who have been battling the Mogadorians in Spain, and who are now trying to locate Number Eight in India. Power in numbers will save us all.

“The Philosophy of Dodgeball” is a first-of-its kind treatise on the many facets of play found in the popular playground game, now played on the professional level by the National Dodgeball League and the National Collegiate Dodgeball Association. The book's sixteen chapters examine many different aspects of the game, including a history of dodgeball, the philosophy of play, and what it means to play with sportsmanship and honor. Many physical skills and techniques are discussed and examined, including methods of throwing, catching, and ducking. Not ignoring the namesake of the game, in-depth looks on the mindset and methods of dodging are presented, including details on how to jump and land, both properly and safely.Each of these topics participate in a study of what it truly means to play dodgeball, and how to treat the sport as more than exercise or mere competition. Less common is the player who studies these many talents and techniques not for simple victory, but for a higher appreciation into what it means to excel at this sport, which for the player becomes art.Written for both the player and the instructor, “The Philosophy of Dodgeball” is fully illustrated with over sixty illustrations and several graphs and charts to indulge the player who loves the sport. Topical quotes from significant and popular authors appropriately introduce each chapter. This treatise, available in print and for Kindle makes a great entry-level book for the beginner's learning, and provides an interesting and enjoyable read with a new trick or two for seasoned players to consider.

Born the child of a homo and a hypochondriac (Okay, okay. Her dad’s not really a homosexual. He just acts like it. Her mom, however, really is a hypochondriac), Sara Barron never stood a chance of being normal. At age eleven, she starts writing porn (“He humped me wildly with his wiener”). At twelve, she gets mistaken for a trannie. The pre-op sort, no less. By seventeen, she's featured on the Jerry Springer Show. And that’s all before she hits New York. People Are Unappealing tells the strange, funny, and sometimes filthy stories of Sara Barron’s twisted suburban upbringing and deranged attempt at taking the Big Apple by storm–first as an actor (then a waiter), then a dancer (then a waiter), then a comic (then a waiter). It’s there that she meets the ex-boyfriend turned street clown. The silk pajama-clad poet. The OCD Xanax addict who refuses to have sex wearing any fewer than three condoms. Barron has a knack for attracting the unattractive. People Are Unappealing is her wickedly funny look at the dark side of humanity.
