#1 New Release and 5-Star Rated! "Middle-school-age-appropriate structure and vocabulary and fast-paced action make this an easy read for fourth to sixth graders, who will enjoy the descriptions of completely unempathetic adults." --The BookLife Prize "Andrew Luria, a real-life news and sports anchor, takes Charlie and Emma on a lively jaunt through space and time, and sports milestones, in this wonderfully-illustrated page-turner." --The BookLife Prize ******************************************************* Charlie Marley changed history as we know it. Which is incredible, considering he's the clumsiest kid on God's green earth. All it took was a few wrong turns, a couple accidental slips and one terribly misguided time-traveling golf cart to make it happen. Not to mention the threat of the scariest teacher in the universe, Mrs. Cooper the Pooper Scooper! Along the way, Charlie and his travel partners meet Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Michael Jordan, Babe Zaharias, John Elway and Mary Lou Retton. They try to dodge the deceptive members of the time travel police. And last--but certainly not least--they witness the most horrifying sight they ever could have imagined. If they can earn their Time Travel Wings without breaking any of the time travel rules, they just might be able to change the most embarrassing ending in World Series history. But one wrong move, and they'll be sent off to do hard time in a galaxy far, far away. Looking back, perhaps they never should have gotten in that bizarre-looking high-tech golf cart in the first place. What would you do?! ****************************************** Seven-time Emmy Award-winner Andrew Luria makes his children’s book debut with this fun and informative middle-grade series, combining history, sports, time-travel and adventure! "Great for young sports enthusiasts!" "My 11-year-old son can’t say enough great things about this book!!" ************************************************ Fans of the Baseball Card Adventures and the Magic Tree House Series will love The Adventures of Charlie Marley! Think Forrest Gump, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Back To The Future, based on sports, for kids! ***************************************************************** "Our elementary school boys LOVE this book!" "A very entertaining book for adults and kids alike!" ***************************************************************** "Time travel steers the group into the fray of six unforgettable moments in sports, from Babe Ruth’s called shot at the World Series and the Stanford band storming the field against Cal to misadventures involving Mary Lou Retton, Jackie Robinson, Michael Jordan and Babe Didrikson Zaharias." --San Diego Union Tribune #### "It mixes make-believe with facts that revolve around milestone events that Luria wants this generation to embrace." --The Coast News #### "It's a very large book. I mean, it's a lot of pages. So, this'll be good." --ESPN's Tony Kornheiser - July 21, 2021

In this splendid book, one of America's masters of nonfiction takes us home--into Hometown, U.S.A., the town of Northampton, Massachusetts, and into the extraordinary, and the ordinary, lives that people live there. As Tracy Kidder reveals how, beneath its amiable surface, a small town is a place of startling complexity, he also explores what it takes to make a modern small city a success story. Weaving together compelling stories of individual lives, delving into a rich and varied past, moving among all the levels of Northampton's social hierarchy, Kidder reveals the sheer abundance of life contained within a town's narrow boundaries. Does the kind of small town that many Americans came from, and long for, still exist? Kidder says yes, although not quite in the form we may imagine. A book about civilization in microcosm, Home Town makes us marvel afresh at the wonder of individuality, creativity, and civic order--how a disparate group of individuals can find common cause and a code of values that transforms a place into a home. And this book makes you feel you live there.

A chance encounter in Spain in 1959 brought young Irish reporter Valerie Danby-Smith face to face with Ernest Hemingway. The interview was awkward and brief, but before it ended something had clicked into place. For the next two years, Valerie devoted her life to Hemingway and his wife, Mary, traveling with them through beloved old haunts in Spain and France and living with them during the tumultuous final months in Cuba. In name a personal secretary, but in reality a confidante and sharer of the great man’s secrets and sorrows, Valerie literally came of age in the company of one of the greatest literary lions of the twentieth century. Five years after his death, Valerie became a Hemingway herself when she married the writer’s estranged son Gregory. Now, at last, she tells the story of the incredible years she spent with this extravagantly talented and tragically doomed family. In prose of brilliant clarity and stinging candor, Valerie evokes the magic and the pathos of Papa Hemingway’s last years. Swept up in the wild revelry that always exploded around Hemingway, Valerie found herself dancing in the streets of Pamplona, cheering bullfighters at Valencia, careening around hairpin turns in Provence, and savoring the panorama of Paris from her attic room in the Ritz. But it was only when Hemingway threatened to commit suicide if she left that she realized how troubled the aging writer was–and how dependent he had become on her. In Cuba, Valerie spent idyllic days and nights typing the final draft of A Moveable Feast, even as Castro’s revolution closed in. After Hemingway shot himself, Valerie returned to Cuba with his widow, Mary, to sort through thousands of manuscript pages and smuggle out priceless works of art. It was at Ernest’s funeral that Valerie, then a researcher for Newsweek, met Hemingway’s son Gregory–and again a chance encounter drastically altered the course of her life. Their twenty-one-year marriage finally unraveled as Valerie helplessly watched her husband succumb to the demons that had plagued him since childhood. From lunches with Orson Welles to midnight serenades by mysterious troubadours, from a rooftop encounter with Castro to numbing hospital vigils, Valerie Hemingway played an intimate, indispensable role in the lives of two generations of Hemingways. This memoir, by turns luminous, enthralling, and devastating, is the account of what she enjoyed, and what she endured, during her astonishing years of living as a Hemingway.
