This beautiful book presents the world through Indigenous understandings of the Earth, for readers to learn from Indigenous wisdom to respect and honor all creatures and ‘things’ in existence by humbly learning from them and gratefully taking only that which we need. Full of thought-provoking stories, eye-opening historical facts, meditative reflection questions, and gripping applications."

A Mesoamerican demigod is unexpectedly picked to compete in a supernatural version of the Hunger Games. High stakes, teenage gods and an undercurrent of queer-romance round out this fast-paced and fun read. The Sunbearer Trials is exactly as brilliant as it sounds."

This is actually John Green's autobiography maskerading as a series of short essays on subjects as diverse as The Internet and Canada Geese. Definitely one for fans of his Young Adult novels, including The Fault in Our Stars. But it's also a moving memoir of a creative Gen Xer, I think parents of teens will get a lot out of it too.

A book about a teenage Mom, following her dreams. I love how much love Emoni has for her family and all the hope in her heart, even when she's confused or discouraged. Such an uplifting book.
