From beloved actor Josh Gad—star of the animated hit movie FROZEN and the live-action movie BEAUTY AND THE BEAST—comes a hilarious picture book about a girl who won’t rest until she gets the latest cool toy.

Eve knows she has all she needs. But what does she really WANT? Only the coolest doll on the market: PICTUREFACE LIZZY! If only she can convince her parents to get her one, she knows she’ll love it forever AND have the hottest toy in town. But what happens when you get what you want and that rush wears off?

This hilarious, energetic, and relatable story is all about the contagion of consumerism… and how imagination and love are the real gifts.

Josh Gad is an American actor, singer, and comedian. He is known for voicing Olaf in the Frozen franchise and for playing Elder Arnold Cunningham in the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon and LeFou in the live-action adaptation of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. He lives in Los Angeles with his family.

Marta Kissi has illustrated several beloved series, including Fairy Mom and Me by Sophie Kinsella and The Breakfast Club Adventures by Marcus Rashford, as well as Alice Paul Tapper’s debut picture book, Raise Your Hand. Her favorite part of being an illustrator is bringing stories to life by designing charming characters and the wonderful worlds in which they live. Originally from Warsaw, Marta now lives in Bath, England, with her husband, James, and their son, Ollie.

About The Book:Kenny G is world-renowned as the best selling instrumentalist of all time, but there’s a lot about Kenny G that even his legions of devoted fans have never known — until now. In this heartfelt, funny, and fascinating memoir, Kenny G shares how skinny Kenneth Gorelick, the kid who got hassled for his lunch money in a Seattle high school, became one of the most celebrated and revered virtuosos in the music industry. He uncovers how he’s managed to rise above the fray, tune out the critics, and live a life filled with happiness and humor.
Few people know of Kenny G’s musical roots as the sole white guy in one of the coolest funk bands of the seventies, or as the teenage back-up musician for everyone from Barry White to Liberace. As an artist he’s dedicated to turning the next generation on to jazz heroes like Grover Washington, John Coltrane, and Stan Getz.
A man who takes his music seriously but himself not so seriously, Kenny G lets readers behind the scenes to see how he creates his unique sound and unforgettable songs. Along the way, he offers life lessons in discipline, determination, and dedication. Life in the Key of G leads readers on a tour of one of the great musical careers of the twentieth century, from the time he pulled a fast one on the Johnny Carson show — a bold gamble that launched his stardom — to famed duets with legends like Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, and more.

About the book:



A deliciously witty and inspiring memoir by One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz about her decade in a cult and her quest to break free.



In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to breakthrough as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her career was about to take off, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show’s millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult.



An only child who often had to fend for herself and always wanted a place to belong, Lenz found the safe haven she’d been searching for in a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives. However, the group soon morphed into something more sinister—a slowly woven web of manipulation, abuse, and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family. Piece by piece, Lenz began to give away her autonomy, ultimately relocating to the Family’s Pacific Northwest compound, overseen by a domineering minister who would convince Lenz to marry one of his sons and steadily drained millions of her TV income without her knowledge. Family “minders” assigned to her on set, “Maoist struggle session”–inspired meetings in the basement of a filthy house, and regular counseling with “Leadership” were just part of the tactics used to keep her loyal.



Only when she became a mother did Lenz find the courage to leave and spare her child from a similar fate. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help of a One Tree Hill superfan), she finally managed to escape the family’s grip and begin to heal from the deep trauma that forever altered her relationship with God and her understanding of faith.



Written with powerful honesty and dark humor, Dinner for Vampires is an inspiring story about the importance of identity and understanding what you believe.

Upcoming Book Event With Jojo Levesque

Jojo will be signing at Books & Greetings in Northvale, NJ.

Goodreads Blurb

Signed to a major recording deal at just 12 years old, JoJo catapulted to the top of the pop-and-R&B-infused charts in the mid 2000’s. The relatability of her youth and the appeal of her cool-girl mystique earned her millions of fans around the world. JoJo was an undeniable superstar and pop culture fixture, spanning roles in major studio films, omnipresence on Top 40 radio, frequenting magazine covers, and appearing on national TV. Then, out of the blue, everything came to a halt and JoJo seemingly stepped out of the spotlight, leaving many fans to  What happened to JoJo?

In OVER THE INFLUENCE, JoJo holds nothing back as she brings her against-the-odds story of adversity and triumph to center stage. From being raised by parents who were both battling addiction and depression, to emerging victorious in a never-ending lawsuit with her record label, to putting the fragmented pieces of herself together after a maddening period of rebellion and self-betrayal, she takes the reader through the turbulent years that led her to where she is releasing new music under her own imprint, performing in shows and festivals around the world, headlining a Broadway show, and beyond.  In this raw, behind-the-scenes look at her life, both personal and professional, JoJo’s unflinching vulnerability allows readers to connect with her on a whole new level through stories of success, heartbreak, redemption, and resilience.

More than a victory lap from an artist with over two decades in an ever-changing entertainment industry, OVER THE INFLUENCE is an unapologetic rallying cry to anyone who’s ever  been terrified to fail and still said, “Count me in.”
