Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson. Set in the world of the one percenters, this is about the Stockton family, who all live in close proximity to one another on streets named after different fruits in Brooklyn Heights. The story is told from sisters, Darley and Georgiana, and their sister-in-law, Sasha, all of whom eventually discover that money can’t buy you happiness. It’s a fun read with some great insights into the way that families behave (regardless of how much money they have) and also a glimpse into the world of the fabulously rich. 

LeBron by Jeff Benedict. LeBron James’ story is about so much more than basketball. From a deprived childhood he displayed a prodigious flair for both sport and empire building. Through sheer grit, determination and an almost savant like talent he’s become not only one of the world’s best athletes but also a businessman and philanthropist, investing in communities like the one he came from to give kids a better chance in life. This is an extremely well researched, revealing biography which gives real insight into Lebron the man, and the player, from the co-author of the wonderful Tiger Woods from a few years ago.
