Jamie and Andrew are strangers, but they're two of the last people
left alive. They don't know what they'll find on their dangerous
journey ... but they may just find each other. A queer romance
about courage, hope and humanity for fans of They Both Die at the
End, The Hunger Games and Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. When
the Superflu wipes out most of the population, Jamie finds himself
completely alone in a cabin in the woods - until an injured
stranger crosses his path. Life is dangerous now and, armed with a
gun, Jamie goes to pull the trigger. But there's something about
Andrew ... something that stops Jamie in his tracks. Jamie takes
him in, and as Andrew heals and they eventually step out into the
strange new world, their relationship starts to feel like more than
just friendship ... But trouble isn't far behind. As the boys make
a perilous journey south, they'll come face to face with a world
torn apart and society in ruins. And who, or what, will they find
waiting for them at the end of it all? "Tense, exciting, sometimes
heartbreaking and always romantic, All That's Left in the World
explores what it means to hold onto hope and humanity when the
worst case scenario becomes reality. With characters you'll adore,
and a fast-paced, mysterious plot that keeps you turning the pages
as fast as you can devour them, this book is not to be missed." -
Sophie Gonzales, author of ONLY MOSTLY DEVASTATED "Brown has
somehow achieved a book that is romantic, hilarious, warm-hearted,
hopeful, and page-turningly thrilling all at once. I was hooked
from beginning to end." - Dahlia Adler, author of COOL FOR THE
SUMMER "A timeless love story that could not be more appropriate
for this moment, All That's Left in the World is a thrilling,
heartfelt, and beautifully written debut." - Tom Ryan, author of I
HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING "Survival is core to the queer experience,
and in All That's Left In the World, Brown takes that to
apocalyptic extremes with the story of Andrew and Jamie. This is
quintessentially brave, dangerous-in-the-best-way queer
storytelling!" - Adam Sass, author of SURRENDER YOUR SONS "All
That's Left in the World is unfailingly riveting and hopeful. A
timely exploration of survival, trauma, and love stitched together
with sharp wit and bone-deep emotion. Erik J. Brown is an
invigorating voice to watch out for." - Julian Winters,
award-winning author of RUNNING WITH LIONS

Amelie loved Reese. And she thought he loved her. But she's starting to realise love isn't supposed to hurt like this. So now she's retracing their story and untangling what happened by revisiting all the places he made her cry. Because if she works out what went wrong, perhaps she can finally learn to get over him.
When a heartbreaking testimony appears on an anonymous website,
it's easier for Cassie's prestigious school to dismiss the
accusations than to face the truth: that this is a place where the
students aren't safe. As more survivors speak out, Cassie and her
friends realise that they must take the situation into their own
hands if they want anything to change, no matter the consequences.
Cassie goes to a prestigious academic school where girls have only
just been admitted after decades of it being single-sex. When a
female student from the school anonymously posts about the sexual
abuse she has suffered and the school does not act properly, Cassie
knows that she needs to take matters into her own hands. She and
her friends prepare for battle - with a strike, an assembly, as
well as outside school spending their weekends protesting to save
the woodland from development. But will her activism only make
things worse, or will she succeed in righting the wrongs that so
many choose to ignore? And could there be a more personal reason
for her behaviour? A powerful, timely verse novel about the need to
act and stand up for what's right.
How can we answer the many questions young children have about
death? Looking for a meaningful way to explain to neighbourhood
children the death of a five-year-old friend, Doris Stickney
adapted the graceful fable about the waterbug that changed into a
dragonfly. First published under the title "Death" in 'Colloquy'
(December 1971), the story was revised and expanded in 1982 to
become the current bestselling Waterbugs and Dragonflies. This
edition features full-colour paintings by Gloria Ortiz Hernandez,
an artist whose work has been exhibited in Europe, South America,
and the USA. A native of Columbia, she currently lives and creates
her work on a farm in Pennsylvania.
