  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What if Peter Pan wasn’t the hero? 
  We all know the story of the boy who wouldn’t grow up. But beneath the fairy dust and Neverland adventures lies a far more unsettling truth—one that’s been ignored for over a century. 
  In Hook Was Right: The Sinister Side of Peter Pan, author James G. Edwards II pulls back the curtain on one of literature’s most beloved characters, exposing the dark psychology and troubling power dynamics hidden in plain sight. This isn’t a children’s tale—it’s a cautionary one. 
  1. What if the Lost Boys were victims, not volunteers? 
  2. Was Captain Hook the only adult who saw through the illusion? 
  3. Why does no one in Neverland remember who they are—or want to leave? 
  Combining literary criticism, psychological insight, and cultural analysis, this book reinterprets Peter Pan through a modern lens—tackling themes like trauma, memory loss, emotional manipulation, and eternal youth as a weapon. 
  Whether you’re a fan of classic literature, dark fairy tales, or thought-provoking nonfiction, this book will challenge everything you thought you knew about Neverland—and make you wonder if Hook was the real hero all along. 
  Neverland isn’t a dream. It’s a trap.  
  And Peter Pan may be its most dangerous resident.

  Hollowed Out - Why the Economy...

  For the past several decades, politicians and economists thought that high levels of inequality were good for the economy. But because America’s middle class is now so weak, the US economy suffers from the kinds of problems that plague less-developed countries. As Hollowed Out explains, to have strong, sustainable growth, the economy needs to work for everyone and expand from the middle out. This new thinking has the potential to supplant trickle-down economics—the theory that was so wrong about inequality and our economy—and shape economic policymaking for generations. 
    
  "The director of economic policy at the Center for American Progress argues that it is time to mount a political challenge to the economic theories—namely, supply-side, or trickle-down economics—that have provided cover for the unparalleled growth in inequality over the past three decades. … A dramatic and clearly delineated outline of 'how the stage has been set for transformative political conflict.'"—Kirkus

  At the dawn of the twentieth century, José Cuervo inherited his family's humble distillery, La Rojeña, in the Tequila Valley. Within a decade, it would become Mexico's leading producer of tequila. But when the Mexican Revolution erupted, a charge of treason and a death threat against him by Pancho Villa forced Cuervo to flee. His disappearance turned him into an obscure, shadowy historical figure. 
   
   
   
  In Tequila Wars, award-winning author Ted Genoways restores Cuervo to his place as a key player in Mexico's formative period. Before the revolution, Cuervo's acclaim spread worldwide, and once war broke out, Cuervo remained an impresario, kingmaker, and cultural force. In the face of his own government's corruption and the nationalism of his northern neighbors, Cuervo reached American drinkers by establishing Mexico’s covert form of cross-border commerce with the United States. As the largest and most important distilleries in the Tequila Valley recognized the threat posed by Mexico's unraveling, Cuervo also lobbied for suspending normal competition in favor of "a union of tequila makers"—what would become the first Mexican cartel. 
   
   
   
  The first biography of Cuervo, Tequila Wars uncovers the history of the man who would forever change not only the business of tequila, but international relations between Mexico and the United States.
