Book excerpt: SAY CHIC...C'est magnifique! Ever wonder why some French words have become so common in English as to be clichés? Or why your witty repartee wouldn't be quite so witty without them? In Say Chic, Françoise Blanchard and Jeremy Leven collect more than seventy familiar French words and phrases that have become a permanent part of the American vocabulary. In their clever, often amusing style, the authors explain the origin of each word, its meaning, and how it came to be adopted into English. Uniting the sensibilities of an American author and a French author, these surprisingly entertaining stories combine world history, pop culture, etymology, and pithy observations about Americans and the French, with no small amount of panache. Featuring delightful illustrations, Say Chic will find its raison d'être on the bookshelf of anyone who has ever longed to be an American in Paris and hankers for a bit more of that irresistible je ne sais quoi in America.

Book excerpt: Anthony "Woodz" Diaz has dreams of Hollywood, but his dreams will be more like nightmares as he struggles to overcome adversities living in the slums of New York City. With just his single mom, disconnected siblings, and no positive father figure, Anthony takes matters into his own hands and turns to the streets of Spanish Harlem for guidance and shelter. Just when the troubled teen seems to be getting his turbulent life in order, his dreams of Hollywood are shattered for good, and he is forced to say good-bye to Hollywood.
