Praise for the New York Times bestselling Ash Princess series:  &ldquo;Sure to be one of the summer's most talked about YAs. . . . A darkly enchanting page-turner you won't be able to put down.&rdquo; &ndash;Bustle&ldquo;Tense and imaginative, this story of a diminished yet vengeful princess inciting a rebellion to recapture her rightful place of power strikes a timely chord.&#160;Ash Princess&#160;is a smart, feminist twist on a traditional tale of a fallen heroine, with plenty of court intrigue, love, and lies to sweeten the deal.

"This book offers a unique and thorough examination of how AI can be used effectively to deal with the climate crisis while also preserving political freedom, doing so through a debate with the liberal tradition of political philosophy. It is required reading for anyone interested in both the political potentials and risks of AI in the emerging age of the Anthropocene." – Pieter Lemmens, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands

DISTURBO AMBIENTALE SULLE AUTOSTRADE

&#8220;Arresting, weighty, and visceral as hell, Hannah Sward&#8217;s Strip is a crushing tale of physical, emotional, and spiritual survival.&#8221;&#8213;&#160;Melissa Broder,&#160;award-winning author of&#160;The Pisces, Milk Fed,&#160;and&#160;So Sad Today&#160;&#8220;Hannah Sward's&#160;Strip&#160;catalogues a reckless, fast-paced life, one filled with terrible lows and memorable highs. It&#8217;s a vivid journey through troubled times, yet also a tale of resurrection and redemption, written in captivating, compelling, and beautiful prose. Sward pulls no punches and she never plays the victim. It&#8217;s a stunning book&#8212;one I highly recommend.&#8221;&#8213; Rob Roberge, author of&#160;Liar&#160;and others&#160;&#8220;Hannah Sward&#8217;s memoir of how she blundered into the sex industry is touchingly honest, and written with a light touch.&#8221;&#8213;&#160;J. M. Coetzee, Nobel Prize in Literature, author of&#160;Disgrace&#160;and others&#160;&#8220;Hannah Sward writes about the most intimate taboo things in a signature stark style. With a fleeting brusque description of a man&#8217;s mustache or his cologne, we are there with her, living every moment of this painful confusing journey as an escort. Sward&#8217;s writing lacks any self-pity or self-indulgent descriptions which highlight the emotional barrenness of her experience.&#160;Strip&#160;is a book you can&#8217;t put down. It&#8217;s shameless, descriptive, and keeps the reader hungry for the next line, which is what great writing does. Sward is a force to be reckoned with.&#8221;&#8213;&#160;Amy Dresner, author of&#160;My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean, and columnist for&#160;The Fix&#160;&#8220;Strip&#160;is a story of loss and despair told with a buoyant, utterly seductive voice. Every line, every image Hannah Sward captures is original with her savage wit and the descriptive power she uses to place us in each scene of her bold, devastating adventure. Like a curious witty moth she flickers from the world of stripping, call girl, a menu of drugs and sugar daddies. She dives in, amuses and appalls us, and even in the pits she makes art of each moment. This is no ordinary recovery story. It&#8217;s a story that defies convention at every step. The writer never feels sorry for herself; she picks up her wit and what&#8217;s left of her clothes, and moves on to a triumphant end where she finds the full creative command of her heritage.&#8221;&#8213;&#160;Jill Schary Robinson, award-winning author of&#160;Bed/Time/Story,&#160;With a Cast of Thousands,&#160;Perdido&#160;and others&#160;&#8220;Jaw-dropping talent. Hannah Sward is an astonishingly gifted writer whose poetry shines through every sentence. Her ability at depersonalizing herself and making herself into a tragic hero in&#160;Strip&#160;is dizzying. Bottom line is that she is a fine writer who will be heard from.&#8221;&#8213;&#160;Ben Stein, lawyer, economist, actor, and author of&#160;How to Ruin Your Financial Life&#160;and others&#160;&#8220;Hannah Sward&#8217;s words cut through the niceties of daily life to give us a gritty portrait of what happens to young women when they lose their way. With stark details and incisive language,&#160;Strip&#160;takes readers inside the world of sex trafficking, but not in a salacious way. Rather, hers is the poignant world of lost daughters looking for belonging, hoping to reconnect with missing parents, searching for home&#8212;and of the lengths to which young women will go to grab hold of redemption.&#8221;&#8213;&#160;Bernadette Murphy, bestselling author of&#160;Zen and the Art of Knitting, Harley and Me: Embracing Risk on the Road to a More Authentic Life&#160;and others&#160;&#8220;In this richly detailed and moving memoir, Hannah Sward&#8217;s colorful prose will leave you shocked and gutted.&#160;Strip&#160;is the story of Sward&#8217;s bohemian and bizarre upbringing, raised by her poet father and absent mother, she captures her pain with wisdom and hilarity&#8212;her dark days as a sex worker and her spiral into addiction, and how she finally recovers, blossoming into the woman she was always meant to be&#8212;a talented writer. I could not put this book down.&#8221;&#8213;&#160;&#160;Christina McDowell, author of&#160;After Perfect: A Daughter&#8217;s Memoir.&#160;O, The Oprah Magazine&#160;Summer Picks and&#160;The Cave Dwellers

This one will hold a high place on my bookshelf."&mdash;Brad McLelland, co-author of the award-winning Legends of the Lost Causes trilogy "This middle-grade book filled with action and heart&#160;is like Dungeons & Dragons meets Stranger Things. Secret of the Shadow Beasts will keep young readers rooting for Nora, the story's brave protagonist, and her friends, reminding us of the importance of taking care of our earth as well as each other."&mdash;Samantha M Clark, author of Arrow

2020 Forest of Reading Blue Spruce Award nominee
2019 IODE Jean Throop Book Award shortlist
2019 SYRCA Shining Willow Award finalist
2019 CCBC Best Books for Kids & Teens selection
"A strength of this title is the action verbs and rich vocabulary that is introduced....This title lends itself to discussion about friendship and being open to try new things. VERDICT A strong choice for a preschool storytime or a one-on-one sharing."—School Library Journal
"Savor for the warmth of the illustrations, the fun, and the read-aloud possibilities."—Booklist
"Bender's sharp wit, onomatopoeic language, and cartoon-style illustrations capture Giraffe's exasperation, determination, and terror...Bender includes a map of the locations Giraffe visits in his odyssey; inset pictures of the new animals in this book, a bush baby and an ibex, along with their Latin, scientific names offer bonus STEM material....A sequel that delivers."—Kirkus Reviews
"Rating: E...[A]n exciting and warm tale. Friendship is at the heart of the story and the sentiment is worthwhile and very wise in its depiction. The charming lush illustrations are created with acrylic and coloured pencils and endued with great humour."—Resource Links
"The illustrations and story are wonderful....This book is around a first-grade reading level, but the pictures are sure to delight any page-turner. It is a wonderful book for adventurers and those who are more cautious: it will encourage and motivate both types."—Tulsa Book Review
"Bender's acrylic and coloured pencil artwork is an essential part of the book's success, and, as in the previous Giraffe and Bird books, the illustrations' contents not only reflect the characters' emotions but add to the book's written text....Bender provides foreshadowing to the contents of Giraffe and Bird Together Again via a map that occupies part of the copyright page and its facing page. There, young readers can see the route that Giraffe will follow in his quest to find Bird as well as learn the names of the two other African animals that will make cameo experiences in Bender's illustrations....Highly Recommended."—CM Magazine
"Rating: 5...Beautiful illustrations with acrylic and colored pencil. A fun lively sequel to Giraffe and Bird....A wonderful map at the beginning of the book depicts the route Giraffe takes to find Bird and the animals he encounters along the way."—Youth Services Book Review
"A delightfully entertaining story from first page to last, Giraffe and Bird Together Again is unreservedly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections."—Midwest Book Review
"Young readers will cheer on Giraffe as he conquers clinging vines, rocky slopes and even deadly quicksand to rescue Bird. A lesson in friendship and bravery, Bender's evocative illustrations give a feeling of endless yellow plains and hot red days."—Winnipeg Free Press
"One of the best elements of Giraffe and Bird Together Again is the artwork. Rebecca Bender's use of colour to place the reader in the forest, on the mountain and looking out over the plain is extraordinary....But, of course, it's her characters that draw the reader back every time."—CanLit for LittleCanadians
"An engaging story full of adventure, bursts of surprise, humour, and highlighting a sweet endearment between friends, fans of Rebecca Bender's previous Giraffe and Bird stories will likely adore this, as may readers looking for a new and vibrant story focusing on friendship and courageousness."—Fab Book Reviews
"This delightful picture book is part of a series featuring Giraffe and Bird as companions in various escapades and situations....The map at the front of the book names these animals for the reader, and shows the distance that Giraffe had to follow to find Bird. The illustrations are great, and I loved how Giraffe and Bird supported each other."—Canadian Bookworm

&ldquo;Meticulously researched&hellip;gripping&hellip;This authoritative book deserves a wide audience and should provoke reflection on just how much we have progressed in the 45 years since the Love Canal disaster.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal, starred review&ldquo;Riveting&hellip;the text blisters with details&hellip;Paradise Falls is a narrative resplendent with ordinary people who stood up against overwhelming odds. O&rsquo;Brien has accomplished an outstanding work of investigative journalism.&rdquo; &ndash;Booklist, starred review&ldquo;Deeply reported, masterly...a story [O'Brien] brings to life for a new generation. [Paradise Falls] is a marker we can use to measure how far we&rsquo;ve come...in terms of environmental responsibility, and how far we still have to go.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;At once heart-wrenching and uplifting, infuriating and inspiring, Paradise Falls is an exhaustively researched and compelling excavation of the past that remains eerily relevant in this moment. O&rsquo;Brien deftly knits together a tightly-paced, relatable, and definitive narrative of a watershed moment in the annals of environmental justice&hellip;and its profoundly felt absence.&rdquo; &mdash;Denise Kiernan, New York Times bestselling author of We Gather Together, The Last Castle, and The Girls of Atomic City&ldquo;Nearly two decades before environmental activist Erin Brockovich made headlines in California, a group of mothers on the other side of the country launched an epic battle to save their neighborhood in the shadow of Niagara Falls. Exhaustively reported and expertly told, Paradise Falls is the definitive, captivating account of the women who, against all odds, exposed the deadly secret of Love Canal. Keith O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s latest is narrative nonfiction at its finest.&rdquo; &mdash;Abbott Kahler, bestselling author of The Ghosts of Eden Park"This book&mdash;about an historical event, an environmental catastrophe&mdash;reads like a thriller, even if you know the contours of that event and its outcome. In luminous prose, O&rsquo;Brien brings people to life on the page.

The True Story of an Environmental Catastrophe

Paradise Falls

&ldquo;All This Could Be Different is an extraordinary novel, spiny and delicate, scathingly funny and wildly moving. Sarah Thankam Mathews is a brilliant writer, one whose every ringing sentence holds both bite and heart.&rdquo; &mdash;Lauren Groff, author of Matrix&ldquo;Some books are merely luminous&mdash;this one is iridescent: with joy and pain, isolation and communion, solemnity and irreverent humor. Even the title has twin meanings. &lsquo;All this could be different&rsquo; is a sorrowing observation of our contemporary precarity, but &lsquo;All this could be different&rsquo; is equally&mdash;and ultimately&mdash;a declaration, an electrifying act of resistance.&rdquo; &mdash;Susan Choi, author of Trust Exercise&ldquo;Battle cry and love song both, All This Could Be Different is an ode&mdash;tender, sexy, and smart&mdash;to coming of age in turbulent times. As Sneha navigates the hilarious and deadly serious work of being a good friend, lover, daughter, immigrant, adult, queer woman, and worker under late stage capitalism, what emerges is a portrait of a woman determined to live her life to its brim--no matter what. Sarah Thankam Mathews writes like a blaze, and this book will remind you what it is to be young and powerfully alive.&rdquo; &mdash;C Pam Zhang, author of How Much of These Hills is Gold&ldquo;Sarah Thankam Mathews&rsquo; prose is undeniable and hyper attuned to the terrible privacy of the mind. In All This Could Be Different, she captures the sneaky, unsayable parts of longing and writes sharply about the long shadow of family.&rdquo; &mdash;Raven Leilani, author of Luster&ldquo;Sharply observed and deeply empathetic, All This Could Be Different is a gorgeous story of dreaming and daring against the odds. I loved these flawed, funny friends and I rooted for them, and as I raced toward the end I felt an ache in my chest, missing them already.&rdquo; &mdash;Dawnie Walton, author of The Final Revival of Opal & Nev &#160; &ldquo;Sarah Thankam Mathews&rsquo; All This Could Be Different is an exquisite&#160;debut. Mathews&rsquo; is a completely original voice that is, by turns, fierce, witty, musical,&#160;poignant,&#160;and, yes, deeply sexy.&#160;Simultaneously a tender portrait of chosen family,&#160;a stunningly rendered queer romance,&#160;and a keen reflection on work in a monstrous economy, this novel&#160;also thrums with a persistent, private&#160;hope for another, better world.&#160;It is the kind of book one should read not only to be entertained or impressed, but also to feel less alone.&rdquo; &mdash;Sanjena Sathian, author of Gold Diggers
