No Good Deed

Saving the planet has never been so tough when good intentions get twisted in Goldy Moldavsky's hilarious follow-up to Kill the Boy Band! He's not asking for much. All Gregor Maravilla wants to do is feed all of the starving children on the planet. So when he's selected to join Camp Save the World, a special summer program for teenage activists from all over the country to champion their cause, Gregor's sure he's on the path to becoming Someone Great. But then a prize is announced. It will be awarded at the end of summer to the activist who shows the most promise in their campaign. Gregor's sure he has the prize in the bag, especially compared to some of the other campers' campaigns. Like Eat Dirt, a preposterous campaign started by Ashley Woodstone, a famous young actor who most likely doesn't even deserve to be at the camp. Everywhere Gregor goes, Ashley seems to show up ready to ruin things. Plus, the prize has an unforeseen side effect, turning a quiet summer into cutthroat warfare where campers stop focusing on their own campaigns and start sabotaging everyone else's.

Las 50 frases del Dr. Bob: Co-Fundador de Alcohólicos Anónimos

Robert Holbrook Smith, más conocido como Doctor Bob (8 de agosto de 1879-16 de noviembre de 1950), fue un médico estadounidense que también fuera cofundador de Alcohólicos Anónimos junto al exsoldado Bill Wilson (más conocido este último como 'Bill W').Noviembre representa, para nuestra comunidad, el mes de las tradiciones y de la gratitud; en memoria de nuestro cofundador, Robert Holbrook Smith, el Dr. Bob; quien el 16 de noviembre de 1950, pasó del dolor de esta vida a “un nuevo horizonte”, expresión que él mismo utilizaba cuando se le preguntaba acerca de su visión sobre la muerte; y respondía: “¿Has estado alguna vez en el aeropuerto y has observado a los aviones cuando salen? Durante un rato, ves el avión, y luego ya no lo ves; eso no quiere decir que se haya desintegrado o desaparecido, sólo ha encontrado un nuevo horizonte; esa es la forma en que siento acerca de la muerte. Habré encontrado un nuevo horizonte”. El legado del Dr. Bob es invaluable, sabemos que para Bill W., como él mismo escribía, el aporte del Dr. Bob fue determinante para nuestra comunidad, y fue de éste último de quien aprendió el verdadero significado de la palabra HUMILDAD: “El Dr. Bob fue en esencia una persona más humilde que yo. En algunos aspectos él tuvo una clase de espiritualidad “natural”… Sobre su escritorio, el Dr. Bob tenía una placa definiendo la humildad: “La perpetua tranquilidad del corazón. Es no tener problemas. Es nunca estar enojado o apesadumbrado, irritable o dolorido; no extrañándome de nada de lo que me hacen, sentir que nada se hace en contra mía. Es estar tranquilo cuando nadie me alaba y cuando soy culpado o despreciado, es tener un bendito hogar en mí mismo en donde yo puedo entrar, cerrar la puerta, arrodillarme ante mi Padre en secreto y estar en paz, como en un profundo mar de tranquilidad, cuando todo lo que hay a mi alrededor y cerca de mí aparente ser un problema”.

Dark Dude

From the Pulitzer Prize-winner Oscar Hijuelos comes a novel about identity, circumstance, and a way in which we all struggle to accept our true selves. In gritty, clear prose, Dark Dude captures New York City in the 1960s-violent, decaying, slouching away from the American dream-and brings to life a character who has no choice but to head out west in search of something better. But, when Rico and his ex-druggie friend arrive in Wisconsin, they discover that picket-fenced apple-pie people can be just as violent and judgmental as the neighbors they left behind. No longer an outsider by appearances, Rico is forced to swallow an uncomfortable truth: he is still an outsider. "Dark Dude's journey toward self-discovery is a compelling read. Today's teens will be thrilled to discover a voice as authentic and accomplished as Oscar Hijuelos's" -Ellen Hopkins, New York Times best-selling author of Crank and Glass
