About this listen
Has your brother or sister ever teased you?
The answer to that question is almost guaranteed to be "Yes". Anyone with a brother or sister knows that it's not always easy and has been pestered by their sibling at one time or another. Whether your sibling pesters you daily or every now and then, this is the book for you!
This book will help you:
- Become a jokester people will enjoy being around
- Pester your sibling in playful, creative ways
- Practice your acting skills while using sarcasm
- Create long lasting, happy memories
- Bond with your sibling by joking with them
- Develop strong relationships with laughter and love
- Laugh more
- Always be prepared to get your sibling back in humorous ways when they are picking on you
William Eshleman is an expert at joking with his siblings while maintaining a fantastic and rewarding relationship with them. He enjoyed testing these on his siblings while writing this book. Co-author Paige Kimball takes great pleasure in using the ideas in this book on her siblings and is a master at it. She has a wonderful relationship with all her siblings. William and Paige look forward to hearing from listeners.

If her life were fictional, she'd magically know how to deal with the fact that her best friend, Anibal Gomez, has abandoned her in favor of being a "hipster". She'd be able to take care of everyone when her dad has to spend time in the hospital. And she'd certainly be able to change her family's secret. Seventh grade is not turning out the way Mysti had planned. With the help of a hot-air balloon, her new friend Rama Khan, and a bright orange coat, can she find the courage to change?

Jade believes she must get out of her neighborhood if she's ever going to succeed. Her mother says she has to take every opportunity. She has. She accepted a scholarship to a mostly-white private school and even Saturday morning test prep opportunities. But some opportunities feel more demeaning than helpful. Like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for "at-risk" girls. Except really, it's for black girls. From "bad" neighborhoods. But maybe there are some things Jade could show these successful women about the real world and finding ways to make a real difference.

Story
Kevin has a big talent. Some might call it compulsive lying. He calls it common sense. Kev doesn’t mean to cause trouble by lying all the time; he’s just trying to make everything easier for everyone (and himself). And, of course, a few harmless, um, falsehoods are crucial to his plan to convince Tina that he’s the perfect boyfriend for her. In Gary Paulsen’s irresistible and chaotic comedy, Kevin’s lies spiral out of control until he’s faced with the need to do the unthinkable: tell the truth.

At some point in nearly every marriage, a wife finds herself asking, "What is wrong with my husband?!" In David Finch's case, this turns out to be an apt question. Five years after he married Kristen, the love of his life, they learn that he has Asperger syndrome. The diagnosis explains David's ever-growing list of quirks and compulsions, his lifelong propensity to quack and otherwise melt down in social exchanges, and his clinical-strength inflexibility. But it doesn't make him any easier to live with.
