Losers - Jupiter's parents emigrated from Russia when he was seven years old. Now, at 14, he's feeling the burn. He doesn't understand what he's doing wrong - why broom-closet rendezvouses with girls don't seem to be happening, why his teachers can't understand his English, and why he and his best friend Vadim can't seem to fit in, either with the indie-music-obsessed Americans or the otherworldly, leather-jacket cool Russians kids at school. Then Jupiter discovers the city. And then, forced to become a social animal by his sudden accidental sidekicks, Jupiter turns into the most popular kid in school. And realizes that, maybe, being a loser isn't so bad...if he can just figure out how to stop being so popular.

Never Mind the Goldbergs - Hava Aaronson, a self-consciously observant Jew, is nonetheless unorthodox in many ways. She has spiked hair, loves punk culture, and punctuates her colorful, rebellious language with four-letter words. After a successful stint in a play, Hava is offered a lead role in a Hollywood sitcom about a caricatured American modern Orthodox Jewish family. She is immediately thrust into a world of make-believe and pretense, and spends the summer trying to sort out what is real and what isn't and what her religion means to her.

Candy In Action - Candy always had a million guys after her. Only before, they never used GPS tracking and surveillance helicopters. Candy Resnick and her best friend Velma jaunt around the world, flirt with rock stars and power brokers, and party it up in countries that don't even know the meaning of the word. But all that changes one night, when Candy turns down the rich and powerful Preston Reign's invitation to dinner. Suddenly, she finds herself being drawn into his web, stalked by a maniac. Out of control for the first time in her life, Candy is on the run - dodging bullets, blowing up buildings, being chased through exotic cities, and fighting back with the only weapons she has: Velma, her natural wit, and her stiletto heels.

Yom Kippur A Go Go - From the World Bank riots (what can you do when the revolution starts on Shabbos?) to Thursday night basketball in San Francisco's Mission Dolores Park, Matthue takes readers on a journey through the hip streets of urban America in his exuberant memoir, Yom Kippur a Go-Go.
