Joe has been cursed. He must meet with Yahweh, the Creator, once a week for coffee and listen to God complain. Yahweh is a crotchety old deity with a pantheon of family problems. His wife, Frigga, has basically stopped talking to Him, except to nag Him about retiring. His son, Jesus, suffers from crippling depression. Oh, and Jesus' estranged wife is planning a terrorist attack to start a holy war. God is fed up with all the drama. He's perfectly tired and infinitely irritable. Though God doesn't seem to care about human problems, Joe's little, mortal life isn't perfect, either. In fact, it's a comedy as black as God's coffee.

Harriet has to start at a new corporate high school. Switching schools is always rough, but it’s harder for her because The Corporation got her dad fired and tossed her mother into jail. Now she’s moving across the country to be closer to her mom, and that means going to a new school, the kind of school The Corporation has been using to for decades to make sure everyone does as they are told. But there’s something strange going on at Harriet’s new school. If she can just crack the code, she might be able to figure out a way to fight back! “Benjamin Gorman's Corporate High School is a must-read for anyone interested in joining the fight to save public education. We proudly proclaim this book as badass and spot on about the fight to save the foundation of our democracy - strong public education for all.” -Marla Kilfoyle, General Manager Badass Teachers Association "Ben Gorman clearly knows high school students, and the importance of a free and public education for them. Corporate High School is fantastic!" Tanya Baker Director of National Programs, National Writing Project "Gorman's gut-wrenching satire delivers the lesson that when a school is not a school, learning is rebellion and knowledge is a weapon."

Going Green

Going Green is a story about choices and consequences, about true happiness and real fear, about racism and appreciation of differences, and about deciding who you truly are and what you believe. Set in the future, it allows us to look at and talk about "their problems" ...until we realize how just similar our realities are.In the future, the color of your skin lets everyone know who you are. Those who can contribute to making the world a better place are Green, walking GMOs with plant chloroplasts in their cells who no longer need to eat. Life is good. People are happy. Well, ...some people. Not everyone gets to “go Green.”Calyssa Brentwood, a high school senior just finished with her cellular enhancement, is on her way to securing her place in the upper ranks of society. Until she finds herself far from the safety of Sci-City, ...on a farm, ...in the middle of a rebel insurgency.Realizing that nothing is as simple as it seems, Lyssa soon discovers that each choice brings new consequences ...ones that may turn deadly for those she cares about most."Ransom's appealing futuristic parable dives deep into issues of class privilege, inequality, and genetic modification. Sounds heavy, but she lightens the mood with clever tech and a sweet, star-crossed teen romance."-Karen Eisenbrey, author of The Gospel According to St. Rage"Going Green is a confident, richly conceived and immensely readable debut where unlikely hope grows like grass punching through the cracks of an oppressive system. …Ransom is a welcome new voice, one that rings true and clear with impressive scope and unexpected emotion." -Dale E. Basye, author of the Circles of Heck series“Heather S. Ransom creates an eerily poignant futuristic world with her intelligent writing. The suspenseful storyline propels the reader on. How relevant is this quote from her novel? ‘How do you stop something when you don't feel you have any power?’ Bravo!”-Barbara Herkert, author of A Boy, a Mouse, and a Spider: The Story of E.B. White

SuperGuy

Superheroes are common in Oliver’s world. He doesn’t pay them much attention since he’s just trying to survive his city government internship and the latest useless—but time-sensitive—project that’s been dropped on him. Then he mistakenly takes the super serum the Milwaukee mayor wrote into the budget to help his slumping re-election campaign. Now Oliver is dealing with an annoyed police chief, a surging crime wave, paparazzi, a super villain, a bit of romance, and the creepy ladies of the Milwaukee Flower and Garden Society. You expect the super villains to be trouble, but you never expect the bigger problem to be getting your city-issued car replaced after you’ve reduced it to a burning hunk of metal your first day on the job. If Oliver can survive the endless on-the-job training sessions, the awkwardness of the extremely generic but very tight suit, and getting thrown through the occasional wall or two, he might just have time to stop the bad guy from enslaving the world. No biggie.
