Book excerpt: "Even before they'd ever played a game, the Brooklyn Nets were outselling the New York Knicks in team apparel and merchandise. In their first season they ranked fourth in league-wide jersey sales, indicative of the trendy appeal and broad fan base. When the Nets played their first game at Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn in the fall of 2012, they succeeded in bringing professional sports back to Brooklyn for the first time since the Dodgers abandoned the borough in 1957. Now Brooklyn Bounce chronicles the historic first season, full of highs and lows--plenty of them entirely unexpected. Jake Appleman takes us inside the locker room, combining vignettes and interviews from the team's transition from the New Jersey swamp to gentrified Brooklyn, to an opening night delayed by Hurricane Sandy, to an epic seven-game playoff showdown with the Chicago Bulls. The Nets were the game's foremost paradox in 2013, a team that managed to be the most improved in the NBA, but also consistently disappointed. What made them interesting wasn't their style of play or even their unique collection of personalities; it was their constant state of re-invention and their evolving relationship with their new home: as the Barclays crowds would chant it, BrooOOOK-LYN!"--

Lilico’s life in Japan is going well. She has great friends and is the captain of the school's basketball team. She’s happy! Then comes her parents’ news: they’re moving to America! Before she knows it, Lilico finds herself in Brooklyn, New York, forced to start all over. And that won’t be easy with her closest friends thousands of miles away or a school bully who immediately dislikes her. Luckily, anime-loving Nala and Henry eventually befriend Lilico and with help from them—along with her guardian spirit who looks a lot like her cat, Nico—Lilico just might figure out where she fits in. This is age-appropriate, kid-friendly manga for kids - both elementary and middle school - that tells a story about friendship, new beginnings, and doing what you love, no matter what.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most cops, nightmares were just another unfortunate aspect of police work and Alex Taylor was no different. After a lifetime in law enforcement, she thought she had seen them all: The cold-hearted perpetrators, the horrific, blood-chilling crimes, the innocent victims. All that was supposed to have changed when she left the mean streets of Brooklyn and moved up to the tranquil, wooded mountains of New Hampshire, but now the unnerving nightly visions, of the one she couldn't save, are pushing her to the brink of a nervous breakdown. As Alex struggles to find some mental relief, she is suddenly thrust into a life or death encounter that quickly spirals out of control. In the aftermath, she finds herself in the unenviable position of being Monday morning quarterbacked by investigators and even begins to wonder if she can truly rely on own memories. As she tries to pick up the pieces, Alex is unaware that the real nightmare has only just begun.

Book excerpt: If asked to list the greatest innovators of modern American poetry, few of us would think to include Jay-Z or Eminem in their number. And yet hip hop is the source of some of the most exciting developments in verse today. The media uproar in response to its controversial lyrical content has obscured hip hop's revolution of poetic craft and experience: Only in rap music can the beat of a song render poetic meter audible, allowing an MC's wordplay to move a club-full of eager listeners.Examining rap history's most memorable lyricists and their inimitable techniques, literary scholar Adam Bradley argues that we must understand rap as poetry or miss the vanguard of poetry today. Book of Rhymes explores America's least understood poets, unpacking their surprisingly complex craft, and according rap poetry the respect it deserves.
