Paperback. Zustand: Good. Ellis Starr likes learning about active volcanos. She does not like having acne that resembles them. But it?s not just cosplaying as a pepperoni pizza that has Ellis on the verge of erupting. Her mum?s hot-and-cold moods have the two of them butting heads nonstop - especially now that her mum is dating for the first time since her parents? separation. Then there?s Ellis?s best friend, Aggy, whose own life - and skin - seem perfect. And who could forget that Ellis still needs to decide on a research topic for a big school project. With school proving to be every bit as pesky as a new pimple, Ellis?s only bright spot is the time she spends with her aunt Lydia, whose adorable puppy, Rocco, is a natural stress reliever.

In her newest novel, bestselling author Christina Wyman tackles a quintessential school experience - acne - with her trademark humour, honesty, and heart. …

Hardback. Zustand: Good. When Anthony's angst-ridden rock 'n' roll lyrics go viral, he's unwittingly cast as the school rebel. The truth is, he's not trying to be anyone's hero. Anthony Castillo needs a new life. His teachers are clueless autocrats except for Mr. Darren, who's in charge of the rock band program. The girls at school are either shallow cutebots or out of his league. And his parents mean well, but they just make things worse. It's as if Anthony is stuck on the bottom level of his favorite video game, Liberation Force 4.5. Except there is no secret escape tunnel and definitely no cheat code. Fed up, pissed off, and feeling trapped, Anthony writes his first song for his rock band, the Rusty Soles. His only problem: Arts Night. If he exercises his right to free speech and sings his original lyrics--where his own bombs will drop--he and his band will be through. The clock is ticking. Time for Anthony to pick his battles and decide what's really worth fighting for.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Together at last. Under the pseudonym Richard Stark, Donald E. Westlake, one of the greats of crime fiction, wrote twenty-four fast-paced, hard-boiled novels featuring Parker, a shrewd career criminal with a talent for heists and a code all his own. With the publication of the last four Parker novels Westlake wrote--Breakout, Nobody Runs Forever, Ask the Parrot, and Dirty Money--the University of Chicago Press pulls the ultimate score: for the first time ever, the entire Parker series will be available from a single publisher. With Parker locked up and about to be unmasked, Breakout follows his Houdini-like escape from prison with a team of convicts. But when a new heist and new dangers--con artists, snitches, busybodies, eccentrics, and cops--loom among the dark alleys and old stone buildings of the big city to which they've fled, Parker soon learns that not all prisons have bars. Featuring new forewords by Chris Holm, Duane Swierczynski, and Laura Lippman--celebrated crime writers, all--these masterworks of noir are the capstone to an extraordinary literary run that will leave you craving more. Written over the course of fifty years, the Parker novels are pure artistry, adrenaline, and logic both brutal and brilliant. Join Parker on his jobs and read them all again or for the first time. But don't talk to the law.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Breakout Churches . what does it take for your church to break out of mediocrity? In search of answers, Thom Rainer and his research team conducted a landmark study on the church. Unfolding the findings of that study, Breakout Churches furnishes both principles and examples to show how you as a pastor or church leader can help your church break out of the status quo into unprecedented fruitfulness. Of the thousands of churches examined in the study, thirteen met the criteria for a 'breakout church.' All of them experienced both a period of struggle and a time of sustained breakout growth under the same pastor's leadership.

And, using a statistical approach, it identifies key patterns and characteristics common to churches that experienced turnarounds.…
