In Kyle Theory, cartoonist Lily O'Farrell addresses the pressing issues of the day through hilarious and relatable cartoons, from #metoo and the patriarchy, to racism, internet culture and how to deal with trolls. Feminism is for everybody, and so is this book.
The Consequences is set in the Mexican-American community of California''s Central Valley, depicting the lives of farmworkers and their children who contend with limited opportunities, queerness and the challenges of intimacy. Manuel''s ongoing project has been to write about people like those he grew up with who don''t otherwise turn up in American fiction or get considered as part of the history and mythology of California, although he''s not out to merely represent Mexican and Mexican-American lives, but rather to allow them their complications and contradictions.
Arrival is a story of domestic abuse; the unnamed narrator moves to London from Bulgaria to escape her abusive father, has a child, and leaves the child's father after feeling bullied into a new life with him. Lyrical and moving, it is interspersed with folk tales and flashbacks.
In Tomorrow Is Too Late, Grace Maddrell collects testimonies of activism and hope from young climate strikers, from Brazil and Burundi to Pakistan and Palestine. These youth activists are experiencing the reality of the climate crisis, including typhoons, drought, flood, fire, crop failure, and ecological degradation, and are all engaged in the struggle to bring these issues to the centre of the world stage. Their strength and determination show the urgency of their cause, and their understanding that the generations above them have failed to safeguard their environment. With contributors aged between eight and twenty-five, this is an inspiring collection of essays from the most vital generation of voices in the global struggle for climate justice, and offers a manifesto for how you can engage, educate, and inspire change for a more hopeful future.
Inspired by the author's personal experiences of hate crime and bookended with essays which contextualise the story within a lifetime of microaggressions, Lessons in Love and Other Crimes is a heart-breaking, hopeful, and compulsively readable novel about the most quotidian of crimes.
