Rip and Red are best friends whose fifth-grade year is nothing like what they expected. They have a crazy new tattooed teacher named Mr. Acevedo, who doesn't believe in tests or homework and who likes off-the-wall projects, the more "off" the better.

And for Red, who has autism and really needs things to be exactly a certain way, the changes are even more of a struggle. But together these two make a great duo who know how to help each other—and find ways to make a difference—in the classroom and on the court. With its energetic and authentic story and artwork, this is a fresh, fun book about school, sports, and friendship. Views: 8

ReviewBrutally GoodCompound street violence and mega-violence of the most extreme horror variety and you get a story that any horror fan would eat up. I highly recommend it. ------W. D. Hanson "AKA Ichorous" (Clarksburg, MD USA)vivid, explicit, inventive and engrossing..with fangs on it!*Rage blatantly gawks at the darker side of our modern world and draws biblical parallels using vampires. He mixes respectable dark poetic prose. * ------D. Gorman "Crystalline Structure Moon"Step Aside, Passion Of The Christ!Rage does not down play the evils of today, and he re-enforces the fact that there is no good without evil (and vice-versa) in this thrilling tale. ------A. A. A. (Illinois, U.S.A.)Violent, Confrontational, and Fascinating, *Tales of greed, ambition, betrayal, cruelty--and ultimately, salvation. This is not simply for the sake of shock. But maybe you needed to be shocked." * -----Ray DittmierWorth getting your hands dirty for!,Rage forces us to look at true sin, true villainy, and truly offensive images of alternative realities. ------J.

Be forewarned! Brutal Bible Tales are not for the faint of heart. NC-17. These are NOT your parents' bible stories. "BELLY: A Brutal Bible Tale" takes place 3 years after "PILATE: A Brutal Bible Tale":* Immanuel the Christ has some nerve. Jonah has already lost everyone he loves to Pilate the vampire and his Harbor drug violence. Jonah now trudges through his days staying as high on Plata as possible. He just wants to be left alone while he waits for his turn to die. The Christ has other plans for him. She sends Her messenger, Pedro, to assign Jonah the very dangerous task of ordering the Herod to dismantle the Harbor's Plata trade. Jonah has a choice: fight or flight. He decides to run. But you can't run from God forever. As Jonah learns the hard way when the 'Edmund Fitzgerald' founders and goes down in rough seas, with the reluctant prophet on board. Job is Satan's Chosen One and he doesn't take kindly to orders from some upstart prophet. Rather than acquiescing, Job thinks caving Jonah's head in with a tire iron is the best bet. Jonah finds himself out of the frying pan, but firmly fixed in the fire. Then the Lord Herself starts dispatching Job's children. One at a time, until the Herod of The Harbor finally obeys. Views: 8
