When the future began... The men had it. Yeager. Conrad. Grissom. Glenn. Heroes...the first Americans in space...battling the Russians for control of the heavens...putting their lives on the line. The women had it. While Mr. Wonderful was aloft, it tore your heart out that the Hero's Wife, down on the ground, had to perform with the whole world watching...the TV Press Conference: "What's in your heart? Do you feel with him while he's in orbit?" The Right Stuff. It's the quality beyond bravery, beyond courage. It's men like Chuck Yeager, the greatest test pilot of all and the fastest man on earth. Pete Conrad, who almost laughed himself out of the running. Gus Grissom, who almost lost it when his capsule sank. John Glenn, the only space traveler whose apple-pie image wasn't a lie.

Román se stal literární senzací roku 1988. Hlavní téma je tradiční: soudní případ běloch versus černoch.

Mistr se vrací a předkládá nám dokonalý portrét divoké, drsné a ničím nespoutané země plné rozmanitosti. Místem, kde se vše odehrává, je Atlanta ve státě Georgia, kde žijí vedle sebe černoši a běloši. Utrpení Charlieho Crokera a způsob, jakým se ho zbavil, je nezapomenutelným rozuzlením napjatě očekávaného, ironického a výmluvného románu.

A smooth-sailing bike trip to the store is abruptly stopped in its tracks. A bewildering situation requires swift investigation. What a predicament! It's not all fun and games, as one determined youngster with an uncalculated plan, attempts to match wits with a four-legged culprit named Joe. Oh no, Joe! is a fast-paced and fun time, read in rhyme. A celebration of unconditional love between a boy and his dog... because kind little people grow up to be kind big people.
