Told from three diverse points of view, this story of life and love after loss is one Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give, believes "will stay with you long after you put it down." We've lost everything...and found ourselves. Loss pulled Autumn, Shay, and Logan apart. Will music bring them back together? Autumn always knew exactly who she was: a talented artist and a loyal friend. Shay was defined by two things: her bond with her twin sister, Sasha, and her love of music. And Logan has always turned to writing love songs when his real love life was a little less than perfect. But when tragedy strikes each of them, somehow music is no longer enough. Now Logan is a guy who can't stop watching vlogs of his dead ex-boyfriend. Shay is a music blogger who's struggling to keep it together. And Autumn sends messages that she knows can never be answered. Despite the odds, one band's music will reunite them and prove that after grief, beauty thrives in the people left behind. "Woodfolk's debut cuts deeply and then wipes your tears away. Wrenching, heartfelt, and vividly human." --Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda "Haunting, heart-wrenching, and powerful...a tearjerker must-read for teens!" --Dhonielle Clayton, author of the Belles series and coauthor of the Tiny Pretty Things series "This books hurts so good. With three distinct narrators and lyrical prose, Ashley Woodfolk stakes her claim as a fresh new voice to follow in the world of young adult literature."--Julie Murphy, author of Ramona Blue and Dumplin'

From one of the foremost authorities on education in the United States, Slaying Goliath is an impassioned, inspiring look at the ways in which parents, teachers, and activists are successfully fighting back to defeat the forces that are trying to privatize America’s public schools. Diane Ravitch writes of a true grassroots movement sweeping the country, from cities and towns across America, a movement dedicated to protecting public schools from those who are funding privatization and who believe that America’s schools should be run like businesses and that children should be treated like customers or products. Slaying Goliath is about the power of democracy, about the dangers of plutocracy, and about the potential of ordinary people—armed like David with only a slingshot of ideas, energy, and dedication—to prevail against those who are trying to divert funding away from our historic system of democratically governed, nonsectarian public schools. Among the lessons learned from the global pandemic of 2020 is the importance of our public schools and their teachers and the fact that distance learning can never replace human interaction, the pesonal connection between teachers and students.

Greece in the not so distant future: a nation locked in the aftermath of austerity and economic standstill, whose people live a terrifying existence plagued by narcotics, abuse and suicide. The Greeks are mute with fatigue. George Andreou, their incumbent prime minister, sits idly by. Meanwhile, something far more sinister than the world is ready to witness is stirring beneath the frail crock plates of Greek society as the brutally oppressed ashes of the past begin to ignite once more. In the form of NEA, a highly sophisticated military faction of a million Russian-trained aggrieved and mentally disturbed Greek men, the people of the Hellenic Republic are being given a one-shot opportunity to escape. But all is not what it seems. As the winter sun shines, it says nothing. As the flowers of the northern countryside wilt under winter’s wrath, Sophia Iliadi is blossoming into a stunning woman in her decrepit village of Assiros. The past decade's jarring events mean she now struggles to establish a meaningful relationship with her mentally scarred mother. But her life is spun into another dimension of chaos when NEA sweeps through the north, taking control of her village in a day’s work. Forced to flee from one makeshift home to the next, her unexpected romance with an audacious NEA soldier leaves her giddy and overwhelmed. But desire's footpath is never smooth - and she must soon decide when a love is worth fighting for. The Greeks are embarking on one final crusade that could end all wars - but who is God siding with?
