'Samira has created a chilling, powerful, all-too-real near future that's a must-read for everyone's TBR'
Karen M. McManus, author of One Of Us Is Lying
'A must-read . . . A heart-rending and all-too credible tale of sacrifice, the ugly face of authority and the courage of youth' Sunday Times' Children's Book of the Month
Rebellions are built on hope.
Set in a horrifying 'fifteen minutes in the future' United States, seventeen-year-old Layla Amin is forced into an internment camp for Muslim-Americans along with her parents.
With the help of newly-made friends also trapped within the camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom, leading a revolution against the internment camp's Director and his guards.
Heart-racing and emotional, Internment questions the imaginary boundaries that separate us and challenges readers to fight the complicit silence that exists in our society today.

Published to celebrate Women's History Month, this book focuses on
the stories of inspirational and pioneering women whose work has
changed the course of British history. Although the successes of
many of these women have not been celebrated historically, this new
title will shine a light on their achievements and contributions to
history and culture both in Britain and, in some cases,
internationally. These stories of perseverance and achievement have
been grouped into four broad themes: Art & Architecture;
Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM); Social Reform,
Politics and Law; and Women Abroad. It features an introductory
essay by Samira Ahmed as well as extended captions by Lydia Miller.
The publication provides a snapshot of Reframing Narratives: Women
in Portraiture, a three-year project supported by the CHANEL
Culture Fund. This project aims to enhance the representation of
women in the National Portrait Gallery's Collection and highlight
the often-overlooked stories of individual women who have shaped
British history and culture. Some of the sitters featured in this
book include Mary Beale, Gwen John, Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Elizabeth
Garrett Anderson, Dorothy Hodgkin, Olive Morris, Cicely Saunders
and Laura Knight.
'Powerful, timely and relentlessly compelling. HOLLOW FIRES burns
brightly with Samira Ahmed's trademark blend of thought-provoking
social relevance, heartfelt coming-of-age and whip-smart plotting'
Karen McManus, author of ONE OF US IS LYING Safiya Mirza dreams of
becoming a journalist. One thing she's learned as editor of her
school newspaper is that a journalist's job is to find the facts
and not let personal bias affect the story: but that changes the
day she discovers Jawad. Jawad Ali was just fourteen when a teacher
saw him wearing a cosplay jetpack and mistook it for a bomb. A
mistake that got Jawad arrested, labelled a terrorist - 'Bomb Boy'
- and eventually killed. But who was the young boy behind the
headlines? With Jawad's haunting voice guiding her throughout her
investigation, Safiya seeks to tell the whole truth about the
murdered boy and those who killed him. A powerful story of our
times, Hollow Fires exposes the evil that hides in plain sight and
the silent complicity of privileged bystanders who use alternative
facts to bend the truth to their liking.

It is August in Paris and budding art historian Khayyam should be having the time of her life - but even in the City of Lights she can't stop worrying about the mess she left back home in Chicago. Only when she meets a cute young Parisian - who happens to be a distant relative of the novelist Alexandre Dumas - do things start to get interesting, as she starts to unveil the story of a 19th century Muslim woman whose path may have intersected with Dumas, Eugène Delacroix and Lord Byron.
Two hundred years earlier in the Ottoman empire, Leila is the most favoured woman in the Pasha's harem. Her position is meant to be coveted; but she is struggling to survive as she fights to keep her true love hidden from her jealous captor.
Echoing across centuries, as Khayyam uncovers the scintillating truth of Leila's long-forgotten life, her own destiny is transformed forever.
