New Releases by M.T. Anderson

Three heroic middle schoolers face improbable monsters and evil masterminds in the “layered, beautiful, smart, and achingly funny…[i]n a word, brilliant” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) Pals in Peril series from National Book Award winner M.T. Anderson, now available in a collectible boxed set! Lily Gefelty is an average twelve-year-old girl. But her dad just so happens to work for an evil genius who plans to unleash an army of extremely cranky, stilt-walking, laser-beam-eyed whales upon the world. Lucky for Lily, her two best friends are anything but average. Both of them are famous for their adventures. Jasper Dash, Boy Technonaut, invents gadgets; Katie Mulligan spends her spare time fighting off zombies and were-goats. Surely they’ll know what to do. And if they don’t? Then it will be up to Lily—average, everyday Lily—to come up with a plan. A scourge of whales is only the start of this trio’s adventures. Will their smarts and teamwork be enough for them to defeat the evil beings on the rise…and escape Delaware? This zany, action-packed paperback boxed set includes: Whales on Stilts! The Clue of the Linoleum Lederhosen Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware Agent Q, or the Smell of Danger! Zombie Mommy He Laughed with His Other Mouths

Ci sono sistemi ben più sottili ed efficaci della forza per piegare un popolo alla schiavitù. Lo sanno bene i vuvv, che al loro atterraggio non hanno spianato sui terrestri fucili e cannoni, anzi, hanno distribuito gratuitamente meraviglie: farmaci che tutto curano, fonti di energia inesauribili, cibi perfetti che in un batter di ciglia debellano la fame nel mondo. Prodotti rivoluzionari e irresistibili, insomma di cui loro possiedono il monopolio, e di cui, ovviamente, si precipitano a fissare il prezzo. I vuvv non sono soldati, insomma, ma affaristi, e il loro arrivo stravolge l''economia, brucia milioni di posti di lavoro, mette la Terra in ginocchio. Ad Adam, 17 anni, non resta che inventarsi un lavoro, qualsiasi cosa pur di portare a casa quello stipendio che i genitori non riescono più a racimolare. La soluzione più felice mette insieme piacere e dovere, perché i vuvv mostrano una sciocca ossessione per il mondo patinato del passato, e così Adam e la sua ragazza Chloe iniziano a registrare i loro appuntamenti in posticcio stile anni Cinquanta per poi rivenderli agli invasori su un canale pay-per-view. Tutto funziona a meraviglia, fino a quando nell''idillio d''amore si spalancano crepe sempre più profonde, e Adam si ritrova costretto a chiedersi a quanto è disposto a rinunciare di se stesso pur di accontentare i vuuv.

The sampler includes chapters from three of M. T. Anderson’s satirical novels: Feed, Thirsty, and Burger Wuss. Feed M. T. Anderson’s not-so-brave new world is a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now. Thirsty A savagely funny tale of terror, teen angst, suspense, and satire Burger Wuss M. T. Anderson cooks up a story of love and betrayal, with a side order of revenge—and serves it all with comedic relish.

In the sixth and final Pals in Peril tale that “offers adventure, wit, and heart” (Booklist), Jasper Dash is off into the universe to search for his long-lost father! In this action-packed conclusion to the celebrated Pals in Peril series, Jasper Dash soars to unprecedented heights—as in, intergalactic, out-of-this-world dimensions—in order to locate the father he’s never known. And if Jasper’s previous adventures are any indication, this is going to be one stellar expedition! He Laughed with His Other Mouths is “layered, beautiful, smart, and achingly funny. In a word, brilliant” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

Home from their latest Delaware crime-stopping adventures, Lily Gefelty and her friends Katie, Jasper, and Drgnan Pghlik face killer tarantulas and teenaged vampires when they try to rescue Lily''s mother, who has been possessed by a menacing zombie that wants to take over the world.

Original publication and copyright date: 2010.

Looking forward to a vacation, Katie, Lily, and Jasper attach their flying Gyroscopic Sky Suite to the Moose Tongue Lodge and Resort, where they mingle with other child heroes found in books, and where they become embroiled in a mystery involving lederhosen-clothed quintuplets and a screaming ventriloquist.

Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains. Winner of the LA Times Book Prize. For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play around with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who knows something about what it’s like to live without the feed-and about resisting its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., M. T. Anderson has created a brave new world - and a hilarious new lingo - sure to appeal to anyone who appreciates smart satire, futuristic fiction laced with humor, or any story featuring skin lesions as a fashion statement.

“The invention never flags.” —Booklist (starred review) In this third weird and wacky installment of National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson’s Pals in Peril series, Jasper Dash and his friends must unravel a terrible mystery. It is a land of wonders. It is a land of mystery. It is a land that time forgot (or chose specifically not to remember). Cut off from the civilized world for untold years by prohibitive interstate tolls at the New Jersey border, this land is called: Delaware. It is into the mist-shrouded heart of this forbidden mountainous realm that our plucky and intrepid heroes, Jasper Dash: Boy Technonaut, and his friends Lily Gefelty and Katie Mulligan, must journey to solve yet another a mystery. Come along on a tale of grand adventure that includes in its pages: Lost cities! Tentacles! Monks! Dinosaurs! Cheap suits! Eye Doctors! And, of course, the fabled Curse of the Jaguar!
