Book Description
NOW IN PAPERBACK! Two unlikely friends skip through dimensions and encounter weeping giants, alligator islands, and a topsy turvy 2D world, learning to find strength in each other. For fans of Station Eleven and Black Mirror. "Skip is a flurry of bold and vivid cartooning that pulls you through this tender story of friendship at heart-wrenching speeds. Molly layers every page with such a dense whimsicality that it left me wanting to go back and re-read so I could sink my eyes into the details again and again." --Sloane Leong, creator of Prism Stalker "Skip isn't a travelogue — it's a trip. The point isn't to vicariously explore imaginary worlds, but simply to let your eye float along the stream of fantastical visions Mendoza spins out… A creation this idiosyncratic deserves to find a niche — or, perhaps, to make one." —Etelka Lehoczky, NPR "From the first spread to the last image, Mendoza’s gorgeous, surrealist artwork presents imaginative depths both refreshing and disorienting. Poignant catharsis surfaces through tearful declarations and emotional strife as Bloom and Gloopy reflect on their strengths and weaknesses amid unusual environments... An exceptional road taken." Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW "Molly Mendoza is a master illustrator. Skip speaks to the universal experience of feeling adrift and out of place, mourning what’s past while looking curiously toward and unpredictable future." —Outsider Comics A colorful, unpredictable postapocalyptic world comes alive in Skip when two unlikely friends, Bloom and Gloopy, find themselves tossed from dimension to dimension. Gloopy is running toward adventure, and away from their home and friends who don't understand their creative talent. Bloom is desperately trying to return home to their lake, and avoid the terrible violence of the city. Instead, both Bloom and Gloopy find what they need in each other, and bravely return home to challenge their fears and create beauty in their own worlds.

Book Description
The entrepreneur, angel investor, and bestselling author of Choose Yourself busts the 10,000-hour rule of achieving mastery, offering a new mindset and dozens of techniques that will inspire any professional—no matter their age or managerial level—to pursue their passions and quickly acquire the skills they need to succeed and achieve their dreams. We live in a hierarchical world where experience has traditionally been the key to promotion. But that period is over! Straight, clear-cut career trajectories no longer exist. Industries disappear, job descriptions change, and people’s interests and passions evolve. The key to riding this wave, entrepreneur James Altucher advises, is to constantly be curious about what’s next, to be comfortable with uncertainty so you can keep navigating the rough waters ahead, and most important, to pursue the things that interest you. In Skip the Line, he reveals how he went from struggling and depressed to making his personal, financial, and creative dreams come true, despite—and perhaps due to—his many failures along the way. Altucher combines his personal story with concrete—and unorthodox—insights that work. But Skip the Line isn’t about hacks and shortcuts—it’s about transforming the way you think, work, and live, letting your interests guide your learning, time, and resources. It’s about allowing yourself to do what comes naturally; the more you do what you love, the better you do it. While showing you how to approach change and crisis, Altucher gives you tools to help easily execute ideas, become an expert negotiator, attract the attention of those around you, scale promising ideas, and improve leadership—all of which will catapult you higher than you ever thought possible and at a speed that everyone will tell you is impossible.

Book Description
Was Skip Jordan's life saved for a special reason when he was four years old? Has he been destined, like Joseph in the Bible, to save many people from death? Will Skip's special friends, Nancy and Ashley, find they have had to pay too high a price for joining with him in the fight? Will the destructive practice of witchcraft prevail? Will their youth and inexperience spell defeat for them, or will they be able to draw on strength not their own? At the age of thirteen Skip Jordan begins having horrific dreams. In them he recognises several of his friends staring up in fascination at a rainbow sky. It is really a veil. Behind it a host of demons stare malevolently down at them. In their desperate attempt to save their friends, they are aided by Skip's guardian, aunt May, and by a number of prayer warriors both at home, and across the sea. In the course of their journey they have to overcome a mysterious power named, 'The Looming Menace.' They confront a number of 'lying wonders, ' and face death more than once. Unknown to Skip and the girls there is a battle going on in the heavenly places between angels and demons. All these battles are focused on these three young people called to face impossible odds. This is a novel for young and old alike, a combination of fantasy, drama, and adventure that nevertheless confronts the heart with truth and light.
