School Lunch
by Dorothy Griffiths, Jennifer Griffiths and Victoria Griffiths
Zack’s school lunches are always packed full of surprises. Usually—gulp—not good surprises. On Monday, his mom’s brain-boosting lunch makes his face turn green. On Tuesday, his dad’s body-boosting lunch gets him into trouble. On Wednesday, his grandmother’s selection is extravagant—and noisy. On Thursday, his big sister’s offering is just what she thinks her baby brother deserves. And on Friday, his meal is fit for a boy’s best friend. Sometimes shocking, often cringe-worthy, and always hilarious, Zack’s school lunches are the talk of the classroom. To save his reputation, Zack will have to take lunch matters into his own hands.

The First $100k
Your Guide to Financial Independence by Louise Allison
Do the terms “dollar-cost averaging” and “dividend reinvestment” make your head spin? How about “debt consolidation”? Don’t make that face. I see you making that face. What if learning to manage your money was easy? And fun. Yeah, I said it. Fun. Most of us are scared to take control of our finances because we don’t know what that means or how to do it. We were never taught to, our partners always did it for us, we don’t have enough money to manage, it’s too late to learn . . . But it’s never too late, and The First $100K makes learning about money management easy and fun. Whether you have specific goals like paying off credit card debt, saving for a new home, or planning your retirement paddleboarding on Lake Como, this book will give you straightforward steps to get there. Yes, even to Lake Como. From creating a budget you’ll actually follow, to understanding debt and how to pay it off, the book shares practical advice and resources to help you get your financial house in order. It goes on to cover the basics of savings (that thing you do when you’re not buying fancy paddleboard equipment), how to grow your money to meet your goals, and what to do with the money once you’ve started saving it. It explains investing in easy-to-understand terms (no jargon, pinky swear), decoding what different kinds of investments mean, how they can help you meet your goals, and how to get started with them. Using simple steps, helpful graphics, and entertaining examples, this book will demystify personal finance, empowering you to make the right decisions to improve your financial health. And get to Lake Como, obviously. By the end of the book, you’ll be dollar-cost averaging and dividend reinvesting like the debt-consolidating superstar you are.

The Plutonium Files
America's Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War by Eileen Welsome
The Plutonium Files is the shocking exposé of the US government’s medical experiments on unwitting citizens during the Cold War. Americans recoiled when they learned of the brutal experiments conducted by Nazi doctors. But as the world was learning about those horrors, US scientists were injecting eighteen patients in hospital wards with plutonium, a deadly substance used to make the atomic bomb. The patients were given code numbers and went to their graves without knowing what had been done to them. In The Plutonium Files, Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Eileen Welsome describes how she uncovered the identities of these patients and goes on to chronicle the web of deceit that enabled the experiment to remain largely unknown for fifty years. It’s a searing, cautionary tale about what can happen behind the cloak of secrecy In this new edition, the book returns to the July 16, 1945, Trinity Test in southern New Mexico. Trinity was not only the world’s first atomic bomb, but the world’s first dirty bomb. Survivors and their descendants in the path of the fallout experienced a huge increase in radiation-linked cancers and are still fighting for reparations. The Plutonium Files also traces the murky origins of other radiation experiments. Like the plutonium injectees, the subjects were surreptitiously followed for years. They included children in Massachusetts, pregnant women in Tennessee, and prisoners in Oregon and Washington. “A fierce expose of governmental duplicity and dangerous science …The literature on the official crimes of the Cold War is large and growing. Welsome’s stunning book adds much to that literature, and it makes for sobering reading.” Kirkus Reviews

Through These Eyes
A Personal Journey From Catastrophe to Possibility by Clark Lord
In June of 2010, Clark Lord was in a car accident which shifted the direction of all things, most notably, his brain and spine. Many of his abilities were either drastically altered or rendered to ashes. Writing, however, remained intact, and through the wisdom of the cosmos, even improved! Upon that discovery, and with the knowledge that many around him no longer had the ability to tell their story, Clark set forth on the mission to tell the tale of progress from that fateful day up until the present. “This is a story of making the impossible routine. This is also a story of making the routine impossible. This is a story of the unexpected, leading to a place of no expectations. This is the story of going from the forgotten to the unforgettable. A story of having to lose it all, in order to find it. A story of beating the odds to betting on myself. This is a story. This could be your story. This is my story."
