Tired of being told to eat their vegetables, takes baths, and go to bed without on more story, the kids take over the world. And to help make all of the toughest decisions, the kids elect Iris as their leader. Iris makes important decisions that change the world---like replacing the sidewalks with trampolines, turning the Grand Canyon into a ballpit, and building a house out of candy. But Iris and the kids soon realize that running the world is harder than they realized and that maybe they miss their parents after all.Author Sam Apple, perfectly partnered with debut illustrator Julie Robine, brings to life the creativity and imagination in each child, in a story that will have kids giggling as they read, and teach them the importance of having fun while you're a kid and leaving the tough decisions to the adults.

The Nobel laureate Otto Warburg was widely regarded as one of the most important biochemists of the twentieth century. A Jewish homosexual living openly with his partner, he was also among the most despised figures in the Third Reich. Yet top Nazi officials—perhaps even Hitler himself—dreaded cancer and protected Warburg in the hope he could cure it.Using new archival sources and interviews with current cancer authorities, Sam Apple depicts a relentless figure, hungry for fame, who pursued his research even as the world around him disintegrated. Remarkably, Warburg’s theory about the metabolic origins of cancer has been revived in our own time, as scientists investigate the dangers of sugar and the link between obesity and cancer. Ravenous is a book for readers of Alan Turing and The Emperor of All Maladies: a tale of scientific discovery, personal peril and the race to end a disastrous disease.
