Satire Science

A flab-normal life.... Kallie Grande-White can pretend to go on with her life, but reminders of her transgressions into heroism continuously follow her throughout her day - especially now that her awkward classmate Zeus Evans knows her secret. Even with the return of Model Middle America to Cuttingham City, to attempt another round of modeling auditions, Kallie soon realizes there is no escaping from her double-sized life when one of the show’s producer asks for Fatgirl’s assistance.

As Kallie becomes a beloved city hero and overnight sensation, there's more on her mind when Kallie's grandmother, Abuela-Blanca, reveals the origins of the radioactive doughnuts - and why she now needs Kallie's help in bringing down an even bigger threat. And while there's nothing Kallie wants to do less than take up the media's given mantle of "Fatgirl", she soon finds out she has little choice - not if she wants to keep her identity a secret, and not if she ever wants to get her mother to come back home.

Question: when do sewer rats in suburbia acquire intelligence and cunning? Answer: when they begin calling each other names. For Duff and Tuff, newly arrived on Conner's lawn after being ejected from a drain culvert during a flood, their I.Q. soon begins to rise while Conner's falls. Conner, you see, is obsessed with TV. Now the plan is to keep this bachelor from going through with his vow to change his life (and their situation) by pretending to be his supposedly deceased ex wife. Inspired by "Who Moved My Cheese?", this short fable has but one lesson: imagination is linked to reading, not watching television.

Blood felt good in the enormous child’s hands.The 12-year-old never expected to turn his family into cherry red ragdolls, but the beatings had made him into a monster. It was all he knew. After being exiled by the vile inhabitants of the Lowlands, Preston “Porky” Sullivan planned his revenge for over 40 years. Hate. Loathing. Despise. Will it end in blood, or become yet another sad, moronic tale to dwindle in the raging abyss of the Lowlands?

A smart, funny political satire. It is written as if a future woman president published what she wanted to say, before she becomes president. A look at politics through a different, and definitely provocative, lens. As a woman she has a lot to say about the insanity of war as a solution to anything in this century, much less labeling and drugging children instead of making schools exciting for young lives. A fast, furious, sometimes deep listen.
