  What do you get when you cross the Virgin Mary with Brooke Shields, add a trash-talking beauty queen wannabe and throw in a couple of talking nipples? One of the most laugh-out-loud books you’ll read all year. 
  		 
  Peter Paddington is 13, overweight, the subject of his classmates’ ridicule, and the victim of too many bad movie-of-the-week storylines. When Peter’s nipples begin speaking to him one day and inform him of their diabolical plan to expose his secret desires to the world, Peter finds himself cornered in a world that seems to have no tolerance for difference. 
  		 
  Peter’s only solace is “The Bedtime Movies” — perfect-world fantasies that lull him to sleep every night. But when the lines between Peter’s fantasy world and his reality begin to blur, no one is safe from the depths of Peter’s imagination — especially Peter himself.

  Humorous personal essays detailing a teenaged boy’s coming of age in the 1970s, an era defined by sexual liberation and drug experimentation.   Clayton Matthews, if that’s his real name, was a child of the ‘70s. He smoked pot, drove fast cars, and chased women. In this hilarious collection of essays detailing his misspent youth, Matthews looks back at a decade where bell bottoms, free love and LSD were all the rage. A self-proclaimed hippie from a small Midwestern town, Matthews’s no-holds-barred account of everything from sexual exploits to acid trips will have readers young and old relishing a time when the counterculture of the ‘60s had become the mainstream of the 70s, and sex, drugs and rock and roll were a way of life.

  When a Hollywood location scout comes to Applewood, Long Island, and announces that the local elementary school might make the perfect backdrop for an upcoming George Clooney movie, the PTA's decorum crumbles like a cookie from last week's bake sale. 
   
  Enter Maddie, Ruth, and Lisa, three women who become the glue that holds the project together…and wind up forging a bond of friendship stronger than anyone could imagine. 
   
  A good thing, too, because each one of them is about to come apart. Maddie Schein, an ex-lawyer trying hard to fit in and save her marriage, gets knocked off balance by Jack Rose, an old college friend hell-bent on seducing her. Ruth Moss-rich, sexy, and outspoken-has more to give and less to enjoy than most people think. Indeed, since her husband's stroke left him embarrassingly uninhibited yet completely impotent, she's more of a caretaker than a wife. And modest Lisa Slotnick, a loving parent who wants nothing more than to fade into the scenery as she tends to her children, must deal with the humiliation of being thrust into the spotlight by her scandalous, alcoholic mother. 
   
  When these three get together, a powerful alliance is formed. But is it strong enough to overcome the obstacles to getting the movie made in their town? And will their friendship be enough to mend their hearts and homes? Join them as they reach for the stars…and try to pull off a Hollywood ending of their own.
