Book Description
Competitive eating vies with family expectations in a funny, heartfelt novel for middle-grade readers by National Book Award winner Pete Hautman. David can eat an entire sixteen-inch pepperoni pizza in four minutes and thirty-six seconds. Not bad. But he knows he can do better. In fact, he’ll have to do better: he’s going to compete in the Super Pigorino Bowl, the world’s greatest pizza-eating contest, and he has to win it, because he borrowed his mom’s credit card and accidentally put $2,000 on it. So he really needs that prize money. Like, yesterday. As if training to be a competitive eater weren’t enough, he’s also got to keep an eye on his little brother, Mal (who, if the family believed in labels, would be labeled autistic, but they don’t, so they just label him Mal). And don’t even get started on the new weirdness going on between his two best friends, Cyn and HeyMan. Master talent Pete Hautman has whipped up a rich narrative shot through with equal parts humor and tenderness, and the result is a middle-grade novel too delicious to put down.

Book Description
How Do They Do That? A young man of Dublin walks past a row of streetlights at night--and they go out, one by one, as he passes. An engineer in Woodville, Washington, is stopped by police and his car searched to nd out what he's doing to their streetlights. An Australian in the entertainment industry parks his car in a parking lot, and the light above him goes out-until the following evening when he parks in precisely the same space and the light comes on again. And that's not all. When a guest in a restaurant in Athens, Greece, asks that the music be turned down, they refuse--whereupon she "kills" the restaurant's electricity and they eat the rest of their meal by candlelight. Other people affect traf c lights, computers, railway crossings... This is Street Light Interference (SLI). Once considered to be folklore--something that happened to a friend of a friend--today it is recognized as a scienti c enigma with implications for our knowledge of the universe, including ourselves. In this, the rst full-length book on SLI, we hear from some of the hundreds of SLIders who have reported their uncanny experiences, and consider the wider implications of this fascinating phenomenon.

The once humble burger has become the pinnacle of modern fast-food culture—now you can make all the classics plus inspired gourmet versions of big burgers (and their chic little cousins, the sliders) at home. The once humble burger has become the pinnacle of modern fast-food culture—now you can make all the classics plus inspired gourmet versions of big burgers (and their chic little cousins, the sliders) at home. The whole world has gone burger-crazy, and for good reason actually—those first bites of a juicy burger are one of life’s simple, unadulterated pleasures (there may be a few calories but that’s what cheat days, Mondays, Fridays and general celebrations are for right?!). There is nothing like that rush of satisfaction that only comes from a perfectly cooked patty served just the way you like it, with crisp salad, oozing cheese and piquant sauce. Everyone’s got a favorite, whether it's a crispy deep-fried buttermilk chicken with blue cheese and hot sauce, a classic beef, pickles and ketchup or a mushroom and halloumi burger with all the trimmings. They don’t even have to be calorific these days and the range of properly delicious veggie burgers available has set a new standard for vegetarian and vegan comfort food. With this book there is no need to trek out to an overpriced burger joint when you can quickly and easily whip up something just as delicious at home. Try something new with the inspired takes on sauce ideas: from tzatziki with lamb burgers to apple and chile relish with pork patties. Classic burger buns are always a favorite, but just wait until you try the naan bun with a curried vegetable patty or the pretzel bun with a salt beef patty—the exciting flavour combinations are seemingly endless. Whether you are after the biggest, meanest meatiest tower or a light and delicious vegan number made with fresh nutritious sauces, find your perfect patty right here in these pages. Serve the simpler recipes for weeknight family dinners, slinky sliders are perfect for entertaining friends and you could even use the best gourmet recipe to woo someone special…after all, the ability to make a great burger says a lot about a person. Chapters are divided into Simple Classics, Party-time Patties, Veggie Heaven, Super-size Stacks, Virtuous Burgers and Adventurous Ideas.
