Book excerpt: A tragicomic story of bad dates, bad news, bad performances, and one girl's determination to find the funny in high school from the author of Denton Little's Deathdate. Winnie Friedman has been waiting for the world to catch on to what she already knows: she's hilarious. It might be a long wait, though. After bombing a stand-up set at her own bat mitzvah, Winnie has kept her jokes to herself. Well, to herself and her dad, a former comedian and her inspiration. Then, on the second day of tenth grade, the funniest guy in school actually laughs at a comment she makes in the lunch line and asks her to join the improv troupe. Maybe he's even . . . flirting? Just when Winnie's ready to say yes to comedy again, her father reveals that he's been diagnosed with ALS. That is . . . not funny. Her dad's still making jokes, though, which feels like a good thing. And Winnie's prepared to be his straight man if that's what he wants. But is it what he needs? Caught up in a spiral of epically bad dates, bad news, and bad performances, Winnie's struggling to see the humor in it all. But finding a way to laugh is exactly what will see her through. **A Junior Library Guild Selection**

This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walk with me on a journey. A journey that spans the Viet Nam, Korean, and Cold Wars. A journey that experienced Elvis, the Beatles, man walking on the moon, and the opening of McDonald’s and Walmart. I saw the invention of diet soft drinks, bubble wrap, video games, cell phones, PCs, and most importantly, the smiley face. My journey encompasses a modest childhood, awkward teen years, and a diverse adulthood with peaks and valleys. Shooting BB guns and bows & arrows…at my cousin. Stealing. Swimming in a cold river to retrieve my first deer. Drag racing with a cop. Driving a race car. Dealing with fear. Skydiving. Pickleball. Laugh with me. An angel blinded my eyes and prevented certain death of my entire family. We struggled through a dark decade of mental illness. What do you say to your brother when you know it is the last time you will see him alive on earth? Despair. Cancer. Death. Cry with me. Do you believe in God? Do you believe the Creator of the Universe interacts with us on a personal level? Does He lead us? Touch us physically? Mentally? Does He even know who we are? He called me by name, and He walked with me on my journey. After reading my story, I hope you will agree that the answers are “yes.” Praise with me. “To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.” (Jude 23-24)

Now he’s the new kid at the local middle school and all his friends are back in California. You’d think Cody’s cousin Hayden would show him the ropes. Not only is Hayden in the same grade; he lives next door. But Hayden doesn’t want anything to do with Cody.

Download or read book Eat Drink And Be My Best Forget The Rest written by Theo Annika Knillsson and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Years of abuse and neglect have affected my eating and drinking and what was best for me overall. It is hard to eat healthy when there is not enough money to do so. Also, when a victim is an emotional mess, it is hard to eat healthily. In reality, the abuser pretty much dictates what, when, and if you eat at all. Abusers force victims to eat foods that make a victim never want to eat that food again, and some of those foods are healthy foods. There are so many factors in why victims of abuse eat the way they do and why they have eating disorders. Eating healthily is a big deal, especially when a victim becomes malnourished due to abuse. I was anorexic for a few years because of the long-term horrific abuse. At this time I had just had my last child, down to ninety pounds and not able to gain weight no matter what I ate after I got out of the abusive situation. It took years of eating enough healthy food to get my weight back to a normal weight. And then of course, I unintentionally got back into another abusive situation. His control and abuse put me far into debt because I was not going to eat unhealthily and go back to being anorexic ever again. I was forced not to work in this final abusive marriage. I will never get into an abusive marriage again even if I had been lured into abusive marriages in my past by them over and over again. Forced not to work made it so I had to use credit cards in order to eat enough healthy food. At least I was not damaged again by anorexia. No matter how forceful or abusive my husband was then, my kids were not going to go without healthy food even if I was on a tight budget. I would go into debt all over again so they could eat healthy! I keep thinking, I will pay it off and go to work as soon as I am safe enough to get out of this abusive marriage! Finally out of that my last abusive marriage, I am slowly but surely paying off the debt. Yes, with a lot of interest charge, but I am going to be out of debt eventually. I work as much as I can even if I am physically disabled, unlike my last abusive husband; I have to work to eat healthy! I can't worry about the debt or I won't get out! I eat healthy and in time, I will become wealthy enough to be out of debt! Because healthy is wealthy! That is why I wrote this book, to give you the reader, ideas on what and how: to eat, drink, and be the best; forget the rest! I will always be on a tight budget and that is how I will get out of debt. SMART SPENDING HAPPY ENDING!
