Book Description
This story, which is premised upon the story of the "Gingerbread Man", takes chase scenes to an original, profound big city dimension. Nonna Maria’s pizzas may be the best in town, but that doesn’t stop some of the kids at school from teasing little Luigi, Nonna Maria's grandson, over its square shape. So, one day, Nonna Maria agrees to break the ancient tradition of her Italian village by making an extra special round pizza, just for little Luigi. Maybe it's the pizza’s shape or the fact that little Luigi opened the oven door too soon, but to little Luigi’s big surprise, the pizza (now very much alive) leaps from the oven and begins rolling all over town! But the big city is a dangerous place for such a delicious pizza. It is full of hungry people, all of whom want a bite of such a tasty and unique pizza from Nonna Maria’s kitchen. Join Nonna Maria and little Luigi in Once Upon a Pizzeria to help them catch their cunning, round, roll-away pizza, before he ends up in someone else’s stomach . . . GULP!

Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • After providing what is arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL, third-string quarterback Rick Dockery becomes a national laughingstock. Cut by the Cleveland Browns, and shunned by every other team, Rick insists that his agent find a team that does need him. Against enormous odds, Rick lands a job—as the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers ... of Parma, Italy. The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player—any former NFL player—at their helm. And now they’ve got Rick, who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesn’t speak a word of Italian. To say that Italy—the land of fine wines, extremely small cars, and football americano—holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement. Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

Pages : 273
Book Description
The director of one of the largest grassroots volunteer programs in the country shows how everyone can give back. Just in time for the season of giving, Everyone Helps, Everyone Wins will change how Americans give back to their communities. Once a self-proclaimed "reluctant volunteer"-too busy and unmotivated- David Levinson is now director of the largest regional volunteer network, Big Sunday, with an army of fifty thousand volunteers across California. Speaking to the reluctant volunteer in everyone, he boosts our "Volunteer IQ" with specific advice on how, where, and why we can help. He candidly addresses the benefits and pitfalls of volunteering. And he tackles situations and individuals across the spectrum-people with one free day a year, retirees, community organizers, and those who want to ensure their checks go to the right cause. With a list of "Fifty-two Ways to Give Back," David brainstorms ideas for traditional and offbeat ways to contribute to your community; each has the pros, the cons, and a how-to guide. Combined with a comprehensive appendic listing online and print resources, this book provides both the motivation and the action plan to get every community working. Sixty-one million Americans volunteered last year and many more made charitable donations. This will become the book they-and their community's organizers-all need to make sure their time and money are put to good use.
