Globaloonies 3: Out of This World

Joey’s Wacky Adventures

By: Max Candee

Joey Papagopolis has a pet chameleon named Larry. He also has a Big Red Button that has the power to transport people through time and space. If Joey had just one or the other, he would be fine. But having a chameleon named Larry AND a Big Red Button? Well, that's probably too much for any ten-year-old boy to handle--but it does make for some really great adventures! This time, Joey and Larry go on a Big Red Button adventure filled with crazy twists and turns that take them to outer space and back--but not before landing on a train (and in a cup of tea), staring into the mouth of a hungry Venus Flytrap, nearly getting blown away by a Martian dust storm, and coming to close for comfort with a giant bug in New Zealand. Do chameleons really serve as guide dogs for the blind? Is it really easier to juggle on Mars? Will Larry ever get something to eat? (He thinks that giant bug looks really tasty!) The answer to these questions and more await you in Out of this World! Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.

Globaloonies 5: Joey and Thomas Jefferson

Joey’s Wacky Adventures

By: Max Candee

Some guys will go to any lengths to impress a girl, and 11-year-old Joey Papagopolis is no exception — especially if the girl is his new (and very cute) student-teacher from Japan. Just how far does Joey go to impress her? Would you believe about two hundred years back in time? That’s right! Thanks to Joey’s amazing Big Red Button, time and space travel can and does happen at the most unexpected moments. This particular adventure takes Joey and his pet chameleon, Larry, to Monticello, the Virginia home of President Thomas Jefferson! Will Joey get extra credit for being able to describe the taste of the president’s homemade vanilla ice cream recipe, or will Joey get detention for leaving squished worms on the classroom floor? And will Larry get the only presidential seal of approval ever given to a chameleon? You can find the answers to these questions and more in the hilarious and highly educational JOEY AND THOMAS JEFFERSON. Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.

By: Austin Briggs,Max Candee

The ancient land of the Aztecs becomes vividly real as seen through the eyes of Tommy Hopps, a young American time traveler from the present day. It begins when a ghostly intruder attacks Tommy's family, stabbing his father. The intruder transports Tommy to the Aztec Empire in the year 1521, the time of the Spanish invasion.

Pursued by Aztec warriors, strange creatures, and a mysterious woman who claims to be his wife, Tommy must rely on himself to survive while searching for a way to return to the present. Can Tommy return to his own time to save his parents? Why was Tommy taken back in time to witness an ancient civilization soon to be destroyed?

Globaloonies 2: The Horrible, Catastrophic Messy Room Disaster

Joey’s Wacky Adventures

By: Max Candee

You would think that once young Joey and his pet chameleon Larry safely returned from their first Big Red Button time-travel adventure, they would want to breath a big sigh of relief. But they can't. And why is that? Because breathing would be dangerous to their health in the toxic wasteland otherwise known as Joey's bedroom. Whooo-boy, that place stinks to high heaven! And now Joey's mom has laid down the law -- until his room is cleaned up, the Big Red Button is off limits. But accidents happen, especially with loopy lizards stumbling about while under the influence of dirty clothes hamper fumes. That's right -- while trying to help Joey clean, Larry mistakenly steps on the Big Red Button, sending him and Joey off on a new, three-stop time-travel adventure. Why does Joey feel so sheepish about retrieving his Big Red Button from the White House lawn? What do you call a one-horse town after the one horse leaves? Can you be cooped up for eating chicken with a fork? All is revealed in THE HORRIBLE, CATASTROPHIC, MESSY ROOM DISASTER! Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.

Globaloonies 4: Fear of Heights

Joey's Wacky Adventures

By: Max Candee

Joey and his pet chameleon Larry are off to Hawaii to celebrate Joey’s 11th birthday. The plan was to go by plane like normal people, but as it always seems to happen, Joey’s time-and-space-traveling Big Red Button takes them on a couple of detours that put them right in the path of danger! Follow along as Joey and Larry run from a T-Rex with stinky breath, get scooped up by a ticklish pterosaur, and nearly land in the lap of a witch doctor. Will they survive a volcanic blast and giant ocean wave? Did dinosaurs have feathers? Is the largest mountain on earth more than halfway underwater? Is a sailor suit really a good look for Chihuahuas? Answers to these and other important questions await you in FEAR OF HEIGHTS. Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.

Globaloonies 6: Helping Santa!

Joey’s Wacky Adventures

By: Max Candee

It’s the day before Christmas, and Joey Papagopolis and his pet chameleon, Larry, are so excited… except for one really important thing. Joey forgot to let Santa know what he wanted this year — a George Washington presidential action figure. Since it’s too late to send a letter, and Joey doesn’t know Santa’s email address, there’s only one thing to do: Go on a Big Red Button holiday adventure! Although Joey’s Big Red Button can send them through time and space, rarely do he and Larry ever travel in a straight line. So instead of making a non-stop flight to the North Pole, they end up taking detours to Arizona and Greece, learning a little history about Santa and helping him out along the way. Does Joey get his Christmas wish? Does Joey’s mom really have awful taste in holiday sweaters? Were those sugarplums or worms and bugs dancing in Larry’s head? Find out now in HELPING SANTA! Humorous illustrations by Anne Zimanski.

A Paradise of Small Houses

The Evolution, Devolution, and Potential Rebirth of Urban Housing

By: Max Podemski

From the Haitian-style “shotgun” houses of the 19th century to the lavish high-rises of the 21st century, a walk through the streets of America’s neighborhoods that reveals the rich history—and future—of urban housing The Philadelphia row house. The New York tenement. The Boston triple-decker. Every American city has its own iconic housing style, structures that have been home to generations of families and are symbols of identity and pride. Max Podemski, an urban planner for the city of Los Angeles and lifelong architecture buff, has spent his career in and around these buildings. Deftly combining his years of experience with extensive research, Podemski walks the reader through the history of our dwelling spaces—and offers a blueprint for how time-tested urban planning models can help us build the homes the United States so desperately needs. In A Paradise of Small Houses, Podemski charts how these dwellings have evolved over the centuries according to the geography, climate, population, and culture of each city. He introduces the reader to styles like Chicago’s prefabricated workers cottages and LA’s car-friendly dingbats, illuminating the human stories behind each city’s iconic housing type. Through it all, Podemski interrogates the American values that have equated home ownership with success and led to the US housing crisis, asking, “How can we look to the past to build the homes, neighborhoods, and cities of the future that our communities deserve?”
