Standing Up to Racism
No matter how you try to hide it, the truth will always come out .
. . After a plane crash sees a group of seven teens washed up on a
desert island, their first thought is survival. But a terrible
secret from a party the night before has followed them ashore.
Facing deadly threats and the fear of being stranded forever, they
quickly discover that being the most popular kid in High School
doesn't help when you're fighting to stay alive. As the island
deals each of them a dangerous blow, it's clear that someone is
looking for justice. Now survival depends on facing the truth about
that party: who was hurt that night, and who let it happen? From
multi-award-winning author and gender equality activist, Laura
Bates, this thought-provoking drama will start an important
conversation and keep you guessing to the end. Praise for The
Trial: 'While the climactic "trial" provides a satisfying political
edge, the most gripping passages involve the simple struggle for
survival.' - Financial Times 'Laura Bates is one of the most
important feminist voices we have and The Trial is engaging and
clever, thought-provoking and thrilling. I inhaled it in one
sitting.' - Louise O'Neill, author of Asking For It 'A book that
teens and young adults should be adding to their contemporary
mystery and feminist reading lists' - Culture Fly 'Laura Bates has
written another unputdownable (I mean this, I had to give up on
getting anything done to consume this story) novel, which as you
can imagine asks some important questions too.'- Lucy-Anne Holmes,
editor Women on Top of the World

An interactive activity title for 9-12-year-olds on the power of
kindness You can choose to make the world a better place. The power
is within you! Every one of us experiences the world differently -
we have different worries and problems, and we all have unique
hopes and dreams - but there's one thing that can unite us and make
the world a better place, and that's KINDNESS! Kindness is cool!
No, really! Kindness can create positive change in all our lives.
Whether it's being a friend to someone who seems lonely, or simply
smiling or giving somebody a thumbs up. When we support each other,
we can be our best selves. Be the Change: Be Kind is your handbook
on how to use your own voice to empower yourself and others to
spread kindness. Award-winning children's author Marcus Sedgwick
tells the story of kindness - where it comes from, what it feels
like and perhaps most importantly why it matters - and asks YOU
what you would do in different everyday scenarios. ARE YOU READY TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Designed to build confidence, boost resilience and spark mindfulness and joy, there are over 150 inspirational messages with cheerful artwork from illustrator Nikki Miles that encourages everyone to be kind, be cool, be you!
Being kind is super important, but it isn't always easy. Using a
goodhearted, enthusiastic little boy's perspective, a lot of
sensitivity and a little gentle humour, this story explores the
potential pitfalls of trying to be kind, and what being kind really
means. To be truly kind, it turns out, you have to try to look at
things from other people's points of view. Delicate laser cut holes
accumulate as the pages are turned to show how kindness feels and
how it can spread from person to person.
Children will learn to love all about their differences and be
comfortable with who they are in this photographic Step 1 Step into
