The Misadventures of Mocha the Mouse is the story of a young mouse named Mocha that is very naive and somewhat cocky. He is clueless about the dangers that reside in the work outside of his. His classmates taunt him all the time because of the color of his chocolate colored coat. They call him "the rat". Mocha gets really upset at school one day and decides once and for all to stop the harassment. In his haste, without food or water, he embarks on an ocean journey to a nearby island to clear his name. Unfortunately, the best-laid plans of mice and men often fall short, especially if one does not plan in the way first place. It is not long before Mocha realizes he is off course with no provisions, and no way to get back home. Lost at sea, he is forced to ponder his fate and starts to regret his decision to run away. Fortunately for Mocha, Fate will smile upon him. He will soon find out however, that Fate has two faces. While his classmates are having fun in school, Mocha will be in a different, more dangerous school, Survival School!!!

Don’t miss the exhilarating new novel from the author of Fat Girl on a Plane, featuring a fierce, bold heroine who will fight for her family and do whatever it takes to survive. Fans of Susan Beth Pfeffer’s Life As We Knew It series and Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave series will cheer for this fast-paced, near-future thrill ride. If you’re going through hell…keep going. Seventeen-year-old coder Jinx Marshall grew up spending weekends drilling with her paranoid dad for a doomsday she’s sure will never come. She’s an expert on self-heating meal rations, Krav Maga and extracting water from a barrel cactus. Now that her parents are divorced, she’s ready to relax. Her big plans include making it to level 99 in her favorite MMORPG and spending the weekend with her new hunky stepbrother, Toby. But all that disaster training comes in handy when an explosion traps her in a burning building. Stuck leading her headstrong stepsister, MacKenna, and her precocious little brother, Charles, to safety, Jinx gets them out alive only to discover the explosion is part of a pattern of violence erupting all over the country. Even worse, Jinx’s dad stands accused of triggering the chaos. In a desperate attempt to evade paramilitary forces and vigilantes, Jinx and her siblings find Toby and make a break for Mexico. With seemingly the whole world working against them, they’ve got to get along and search for the truth about the attacks—and about each other. But if they can survive, will there be anything left worth surviving for?

Failing ever upward isn't as much fun as you'd expect. In this hilarious sequel to My Inflatable Friend, clueless tyro Rollo Hemphill continues to fail upward to become the youngest-ever director of a multimillion-dollar charitable foundation. Far too late, he begins to suspect it's a money laundry for sinister players in the Secret Government who are setting him up to take the fall for an international fraud. But his paranoia becomes most acute when he gets entangled with a succession of women he calls "rubber babes." Claiming he was inspired by the satiric novels of P. G. Wodehouse and Peter De Vries, author Gerald Everett Jones calls this genre boychik lit. - “Gerald Jones takes puerile to new levels. Just when you thought Rollo was deepening into a rich and thoughtful character, he reminds us exactly what he's made of. "Rubber Babes" is a clever, hysterical, and fun romp which you can read fast, and enjoy secretly. Just don't tell your feminist friends.” - Magdalena Ball, The Compulsive Reader http://www.compulsivereader.com “Rollicking Rollo is back in action! He's a walking, talking warning about the pitfalls of being a genius. As you follow his merry way into and out of absurdity, you will find yourself looking in a mirror. Learn from Rollo--the only fun teacher of life lessons you will ever meet.” - Thomas Page, author of The Hephaestus Plague “This is a very funny book by a skilled and confident author. The further adventures of Rollo Hemphill are a welcome respite from the real world but one definitely gets the impression that Jones is making a lot of it up.” - Morrie Ruvinsky, novelist/screenwriter/film director “Woody Allen meets Nick Hornby in this hilarious beach read. Gerald Everett Jones, who is every bit as clever as Larry David (and has more hair!), has created a witty, literate George Costanza for us to savor. NBC, are you paying attention?” - Paula Berinstein, producer and host of The Writing Show podcast, http://www.writingshow.com

This work is a history of the Pacific, the ocean that became a theatre of power and conflict shaped by the politics of Europe and the economic background of Spanish America. There could only be a concept of &�the Pacific once the limits and lineaments of the ocean were set and this was undeniably the work of Europeans. Fifty years after the Conquista, Nueva Espaą and Peru were the bases from which the ocean was turned into virtually a Spanish lake.
