In the margins of a book's pages, sparks fly as a teenage romance
begins. But in this time and place, sparks like these 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
own 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?
From killers to conservationists, Carnegie-shortlisted Chris Vick
tells the story of three generations of the Kristensen family,
their history as whale hunters and later their mission to save the

computer geek and eco-activist, Abi is holidaying with her
grandmother on an island off the Norwegian coast. Having developed
and befriended an AI device, Moonlight, she hopes to organise a
global protest. On the island, she learns her great-grandfather
rejected the family's whaling livelihood, instead creating the
first whale song recording. Inspired by him, Abi and Moonlight
translate the whales' songs and discover their stories. Whales are
under threat, their numbers rapidly dwindling. Abi is determined to
help. Autumn, 30 years later The world's ecosystems are collapsing.
There is no sight or sound of whales. Abi, her daughter, Tonje, and
a now almost conscious Moonlight live on an isolated island in the
Atlantic. They search for any sign of whales, but so far there is
only silence. Winter, the Future Tonje's search was not in vain.
Despite climate crisis and the threat of extinction, there is
always hope for the future, as nature and technology combine in a
captivating, action-packed adventure with a powerful environmental
call to arms.

identity." - Sarah Underwood, author of Lies We Sing to the Sea "If

poetic style that sees beauty in the everyday and makes the
familiar feel fresh and new" - Ciara Smyth, author of Not My
Problem "This wonderful book is both a tender coming-of-age romance

and stages of life ... Suffused with queer wistfulness and the ache
to be known, So's debut is as intimate and revelatory as the first
touch of a first crush's hand." - Riley Redgate, author of Seven
Ways We Lie "A lyrical, complex tale of friendship, family, and all
the stories we tell ourselves - true and not - about what it means
to love" - Kelly Loy Gilbert, author of When We Were Infinite

identity, friendship, and the dizzying and exhilarating experience
of young love. IF YOU STILL RECOGNIZE ME is a triumph." - Ashley

A Polari-Prize-winning author presents an unforgettable story about
a boy facing up to bullying - and his own truths. James loves
dancing, poetry, and Mariah Carey (not in that order, though,
because Mariah would obviously be first!). His teacher, Mr
Hamilton, is getting married to his boyfriend and it seems that
James will be part of a surprise choir performance at the wedding.
But James's father seems uncomfortable about the plan, and a lot of
other things - like any mention of Mr Hamilton, and James's
dancing, and how James talks about his new friend Joel. Meanwhile,
a different boy has been harassing James at school and calling him
gay, and it's getting worse every day. James can find relief with
his beloved Nan, she's been having worrying falls, and James can't
tell anyone, or she might be sent to a faraway care home. The
secrets are building up, and James is starting to lose his
characteristic spark. Can he find the strength to let the truth
out? A joyful, raw and timely novel about family, friends, enemies,
and being true to who you really are. Perfect for fans of Alex
Gino, A.M. Dassu, and The Boy At the Back of the Class. Ian
