      A powerful, impactful, eye-opening journey that explores through the Civil Rights Movement in 1950s-1960s America in spare and evocative verse, with historical photos interspersed throughout.In stunning verse and vivid use of white space, Erica Martin’s debut poetry collection walks readers through the Civil Rights Movement—from the well-documented events that shaped the nation’s treatment of Black people, beginning with the “Separate but Equal” ruling—and introduces lesser-known figures and moments that were just as crucial to the Movement and our nation's centuries-long fight for justice and equality.A poignant, powerful, all-too-timely collection that is both a vital history lesson and much-needed conversation starter in our modern world. Complete with historical photographs, author’s note, chronology of events, research, and sources.

      My Fair Lady meets the classic teen film She's All That in this charming and swoony new rom-com from Brian D. Kenendy, author of A Little Bit Country. Perfect for fans of What If It's Us and She Gets the Girl. Wade Westmore is used to being in the spotlight. So when he's passed over for the lead in the spring musical, it comes as a major blow--especially when the role goes to his ex-boyfriend, Reese, who dumped him for being too self-involved. Shy sophomore Elijah Brady is used to being overlooked. Forget not knowing his name--most of his classmates don't even know he exists. So when he joins the stage crew for the musical, he seems destined to blend into the scenery. When the two have a disastrous backstage run-in, Elijah proposes an arrangement that could solve both boys' problems: If Wade teaches Elijah how to be popular, Wade can prove that he cares about more than just himself. Seeing a chance to win Reese back, Wade dives headfirst into helping Elijah become the new and improved "Brady." Soon their plan puts Brady center stage--and he's a surprising smash hit. So why is Wade suddenly less worried about winning over his ex and more worried about losing Elijah?

      En 1938, en plena Gran Depresión, Francis Phelan, exjugador profesional de béisbol, sepulturero a tiempo parcial y vagabundo a dedicación completa vuelve a su ciudad natal, Albany, de la que se había marchado veintidós años antes tras un desgraciado accidente. Le acompaña Helen, una vagabunda alcohólica con la que comparte su vida desde hace años. A su regreso, los recuerdos y los fantasmas de un pasado violento lo asedian en cada esquina. ¿Será capaz de hacerles frente o terminará huyendo de nuevo? El reencuentro con su familia, con los paisajes y personas que le vieron crecer, y el contraste de todo ello con sus veinte años de existencia marginal y atormentada, hará que Francis sienta por primera vez en su vida que la redención es posible.
