My take on this book: Jess is a scholarship girl at a prestigious boarding school where she has little in common with her rich, entitled school mates. When a student is murdered in the exact same way as a character in a story she wrote, the finger of suspicion points at her..

My take on this book:

Thinking about the climate emergency can be scary, but these 9 short stories offer some hope for the future, full of thought provoking solutions that show us what tomorrow could be like. Empowering!

My take on this:

All her life, Nesta has lived in the woods with her grandmother, protected from the Authority controlled City, where women must look and dress a certain way, and aren’t allowed outside if they’re unaccompanied by a man.

My take on this book: Trigger warnings: this book contains racist language, violence, sexual assault, Obah is a slave on a plantation in Barbardos in the 1800s & dreams to escape, just like her mother. Her world changes when she meets Jacob, a strange boy from the future...

My take on this book: Everyone is school is scared of Anton - his dad is prison for a violent crime, everyone assumes he is just the same. Matthew is the polar opposite - he's into fantasy and D&D and although he might be the biggest loser in class, he is funny and happy... 1/2
