NATIONAL BESTSELLER • PEN/FAULKER AWARD WINNER • The acclaimed author of The Swimmers and When the Emperor Was Divine tells the story of a group of young women brought from Japan to San Francisco as “picture brides” a century ago in this "understated masterpiece ... that unfolds with great emotional power" (San Francisco Chronicle). In eight unforgettable sections, The Buddha in the Attic traces the extraordinary lives of these women, from their arduous journeys by boat, to their arrival in San Francisco and their tremulous first nights as new wives; from their experiences raising children who would later reject their culture and language, to the deracinating arrival of war. Julie Otsuka has written a spellbinding novel about identity and loyalty, and what it means to be an American in uncertain times.

The classic children's story about a young boy, his toy castle, and a magical adventure that reveals the true meaning of courage When his beloved caretaker Mrs. Phillips tells him she's leaving, William is devastated. Not even her farewell gift of a model medieval castle helps him feel better—though he has to admit it's fascinating. From the working drawbridge and portcullis to the fully-furnished rooms, it's perfect in every detail. It almost seems magical. And when William looks at the silver knight, the tiny figure comes to life in his hand—and tells him a tale of a wicked sorcerer, a vicious dragon, and a kingdom in need of a hero. Hoping the castle's magic will help him find a way to make his friend stay, William embarks on a daring quest with Sir Simon, the Silver Knight—but he will have to face his own doubts and regrets if he's going to succeed. William's story continues in The Battle for the Castle, available as a redesigned companion edition.

A Gaslight in the Attic is an expert satire of the Donald Trump presidency written from the perspective of the man himself! The book parodies the Shel Silverstein classic "A Light in the Attic" with original poems chronicling Trumpisms, his lies and contradictions and the classic "look this way so you don't see that" gaslighting at its best! The over 70 hilarious original poems include original Shel Silverstein-esque pen and ink illustrations to enjoy along with it! You will find Trump's thoughts on Melania, Ivanka and Jared, Joe Biden, Kim and Kanye, Kim Jong Un, Vladmir Putin, Bill Barr, Rudy Guiliani, his fellow Republicansand as Trump deems it, the "enemy of the people", the free press and many more! You will see what happens when he ignores the science of climate change or basic protocols in a pandemic while getting a front row seat to the conspiracy theory brainstorming sessions, Trump rallies, tax payer funded golf trips and a GOP run sham of an impeachment "trial." The rhyming lyrical prose is perfect for whimsical fans of Shel Silverstein, political fanatics and fans of satire! Matt Lassen is a Brooklyn based cartoonist, comedy writer and illustrator. He has been a MAD Magazine contributor for over a decade and has been featured in Complex Magazine, BuzzFeed, USA Today, GoComics and the Huffington Post to name a few.
