Book Description
Cha is a being on a planet so large its 10,000 times the size of Jupiter. Cha has glowing suns in his eyes. He is so large compared to Earth, but so tiny, tiny compared to a flea, as he now lives on the back of a great walking behemoth called a Nuva-Cha-Cha. He'd meant to kill the beast that trampled his home and family, but what had once been seen as an nightmarish enemy has now become his home. Cha has found ways to steer it and he uses it as a vehicle. The planet is so large its never completed a full spin and time doesn't exist, and its always changing environments and evolving and decimating new species, there are countless adventures Cha and his Nuva tread to. He befriends a living cloud with big cute eyes and a fluffy moisturized body of air. He's in search of his Sofa-Cha, a vision of her he'd seen once, if it was a dream he cannot tell, but love is what drives him forward nonetheless. Cha has learned how to create an army of zombies. He can also remove his arms and eyes at his choosing.

The Confederate General Rides North
Author: Amanda C. Gable
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416598421
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
In this richly imagined, utterly original debut, a mother-daughter road trip leads a young girl, a precocious Civil War buff, to a hard-won understanding of the American history she loves and the personal history she inherits. Eleven-year-old Katherine McConnell is so immersed in Civil War history that she often imagines herself a general, leading troops to battle. When Kat’s beautiful, impulsive mother wakes her early one morning in the summer of 1968 to tell her they will be taking a road trip from Georgia to Maine to find antiques for a shop she wants to open, Kat sees the opportunity for adventure and a respite from her parents’ troubled marriage. Armed with a road atlas and her most treasured history books, Kat cleverly charts a course that will take them to battlefields and historic sites and, for her mother’s sake she hopes, bring them home a success. But as the trip progresses, Kat’s experiences test her faith in her mother and her loyalty to the South, bringing her to a difficult new awareness of her family and the history she reveres. And when their journey comes to an abrupt and devastating halt in Gettysburg, Kat must make an irrevocable choice about their ultimate destination. Deftly narrated with the beguiling honesty of a child’s perspective and set against the rich backdrop of the South during the 1960s, The Confederate General Rides North gracefully blends a complex mother-daughter relationship, the legacy of the Civil War, and the ache of growing up too soon.

From the Pulitzer Finalist and universally beloved author of the New York Times best sellers Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove, a stunning new collection of short fiction that showcases Karen Russell’s extraordinary, irresistible gifts of language and imagination.

In the brilliant, hilarious title story, a new mother desperate to ensure her infant’s safety strikes a diabolical deal, agreeing to breastfeed the devil in exchange for his protection. The landscape in which these stories unfold is a feral, slippery, purgatorial space, bracketed by the void—yet within it Russell captures the exquisite beauty and tenderness of ordinary life.
