Sixth grade isn’t as great as Rex thought it would be. He’s the only kid who hasn’t had a growth spurt and the bullies won’t let him forget it. His closest friend is unreliable, at best. And there’s a cute girl in his class who may or may not, like him back. With so much going on, everything is a blur—including Rex’s vision! So when he discovers that he needs glasses, and his family can only afford the ugliest pair in the store, any hope Rex had of fitting in goes completely out of focus. In this true coming-of-age story, Rex has his sights set on surviving sixth grade, but now he’s got to find a way to do it with glasses, no friends and a family that just doesn’t get it!

In the margins of a book’s pages, sparks fly as a teenage romance begins. But in this time and place, sparks like that can only ignite trouble. It’s 1994 and thanks to Section 28, there can be no mention of gay relationships in UK schools. When a kind librarian leads Jamie to a disguised novel in the library that reflects his confused feelings towards boys, Jamie sees that he’s not the only one who has checked the book out. Will Jamie and this mystery boy have the courage to meet— and if they do, what will it take to hold on to each other?

SALES POINTS:

• They Both Die at the End meets It’s a Sin, a gay teenage romance against the backdrop of Section 28 in the 1990s from award-winning and leading LGBTQ+ author Simon James Green.

• Simon’s profile has really risen over the past two years due to the banning of his appearances by the Archdiocese of Southwark, and the resultant outpouring of love and support for him that followed. This book squarely takes on book censorship, a topic that is still (increasingly!) at the forefront of student’s, teachers’ and librarians’ minds.

• An ideal next-read for fans of Alice Oseman and Adam Silvera, with Simon James Green’s distinctive brand of humour making this an important but also very enjoyable read.

When Jarrett J. Krosoczka was in high school, he was part of a program that sent students to be counsellors at a camp for seriously ill kids and their families. Going into it, Jarrett was worried: Wouldn’t it be depressing, to be around kids facing such a serious struggle? Wouldn’t it be grim?

Pug's Got Talent (Diary of a Pug #4)

But instead of the shadow of death, Jarrett found something else at Camp Sunshine: the hope and determination that gets people through the most troubled of times. Not only was he subject to some of the usual rituals that come with being a camp counsellor (wilderness challenges, spooky campfire stories, an extremely stinky mascot costume), but he also got a chance to meet some extraordinary kids facing extraordinary circumstances. He learned about the captivity of illness, for sure but he also learned about the freedom a safe space can bring.

Ezran knew he would one day be king of Katolis, but he never imagined it would be before his tenth birthday. He tries to do what his heart tells him is right, but the neighbouring kingdoms, and his father’s ex-best friend, the evil High Mage, Viren, threaten to go to war with the magical land of Xadia if Ezran doesn’t act soon.

Meanwhile, Rayla and Callum finally enter Xadia on their dangerous quest to bring the Dragon Prince, Zym, back to his mother. Callum can hardly contain his excitement at the magical wonders around him, but Rayla returns to her childhood home and doesn’t receive the warm welcome she anticipated.

As Viren grows in power, Ezran, Rayla and Callum must make a terrible choice: face Viren’s vicious army or go on the run with Zym. The key may lie in a secret from the past, but their decision will affect the future, not only theirs, but that of the world as they know it.
