Shark VS. Train! WHO WILL WIN?! If you think Superman vs. Batman would be an exciting matchup, wait until you see Shark vs. Train. In this hilarious and wacky picture book, Shark and Train egg each other on for one competition after another, including burping, bowling, Ping Pong, piano playing, pie eating, and many more! Who do YOU think will win, Shark or Train? [star] "This is a genius concept." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review [star] "Lichtenheld's snarling shark and grimacing train are definitely ready for a fight, and his scenarios gleefully play up the absurdity. The combatants' expressions are priceless when they lose. A glum train in smoky dejection, or a bewildered, crestfallen shark? It's hard to choose; both are winners." -- Kirkus, starred review

Uncle Champion was created one evening in 1980 while the author was running past Jean Gordon Grammar School located along his usual training route in Gentilly. The story was originally named For the Love of Sara. The title was chosen from the authors favorite song at the time. The original Uncle Champion creation was actually a combination of Uncle Champion I and Uncle Champion IV, but to follow the journey and fully understand the story, II and III were added and I and IV were split into two separate stories. The story begins with our runner, Christopher Uncle who decided to start running as a form of exercise. He was raised by a very good mother and father who taught him to always help others. While out training for the big race, his life and the lives of everyone involved changed. He found himself on a mission to save the life of an orphan named Julia. She is a very special and powerful young girl who leads the thirty-six other children of the orphanage beyond the fence. Chris meets Sara Harmony and discovers he needs her to get to Julia. He ends up saving both of them from their depressed state. At the end of each volume, a telegram arrives with Chris next clue to the ultimate riddle, the ultimate riddle from above. In Uncle Champion II Gentilly plays a major role. It is the location of the new and modern facility designed by Christopher. Uncle Champion was named by one of the children of the orphanage and was Chris celebrity name. All the way through Uncle Champion III you witness the relationship of Chris and Sara as it grows.

Memphis Boys chronicles the story of the rhythm section at Chips Moman's American Studios from 1964, when the group began working together, until 1972, when Moman shut down the studio and moved the entire operation to Atlanta. Utilizing extensive interviews with Moman and the group, as well as additional comments from the songwriters, sound engineers, and office staff, author Roben Jones creates a collective biography combined with a business history and a critical analysis of important recordings. She reveals how the personalities of the core group meshed, how they regarded newcomers, and how their personal and musical philosophies blended with Moman's vision to create timeless music based on themes of suffering and sorrow. Recording sessions with Elvis Presley, the Gentrys, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, the Box Tops, Joe Tex, Neil Diamond, B. J. Thomas, Dionne Warwick, and many others come alive in this book. Jones provides the stories behind memorable songs composed by group writers, such as "The Letter," "Dark End of the Street," "Do Right Woman," "Breakfast in Bed," and "You Were Always on My Mind." Featuring photographs, personal profiles, and a suggested listening section, Memphis Boys details a significant phase of American music and the impact of one studio.
