An extraordinary chronicle of youth that evokes the paradoxes of modern Africa--complex, contradictory, and full of conflict, tragedy, and joy.

Patrice Nganang, the acclaimed author of Dog Days, Mount Pleasant, and, most recently, A Trail of Crab Tracks, which was a 2022 New Yorker Book of the Year, writes about his vibrant, animated youth in Cameroon, a period of upheaval and change in the country's history and in his life.

Scale Boy is a memoir that brings great brightness and joy to the tumultuous years of discovering oneself and one's community; though there are moments of danger and confusion in his story, Nganang aims to present a new vision of a young Black African man's coming-of-age.

One bathed by the moon with darkness in her heart, the other kissed by the sun with lightning in her veins. When the fate of the realm hangs in the balance, what would they give to be the last one standing?

With assassins lurking around darkened corners, friends betraying their young Queen, and the addition of an unlikely ally, Auraelia's unsure of whom to trust. Grieving the death of her mother, and Daemon's absence as war threatens her kingdom, all she knows for certain, is that her people come first...even if that means that she has to close off her heart to the one person her soul and magic call to.

Losing Auraelia was not an option.

It didn't matter what contracts his father signed, Daemon refused to give up the one thing that meant the most to him in the realm. But as Davina's hold over the courts in Ixora broadened, the walls around Auraelia's heart hardened. Determined to win not only her heart, but his place by her side as she faces down a great evil, Daemon works to become everything she claimed she needed.

A richly illustrated nonfiction picture book celebrating how scientists and activists can work together to create change and protect wildlife, making the world safer for creatures both big and small.

How do you save a species? Start at the edges of the food chain.

In the 1950s, the brown pelican went from thriving to barely surviving. The culprit was DDT: a harmful pesticide that seeped into soil, spread in the water, festered in small fish, and ultimately caused the pelican population to plummet. Scientists sounded the alarm, but faced pushback from farmers who relied on DDT to control pesky pests.

It required many voices joining together, demanding change, before the government took action. Thanks to these efforts, we now have the EPA and the Endangered Species Act, which continue to protect wildlife threatened by climate change.

This thrilling and inspirational nonfiction picture book introduces young readers to bioaccumulation, endangered species, and one of the biggest grassroots movements of our time. It connects the success of the pelican's regrowth with conservation efforts in place today, such as pollinator gardens, wildlife corridors, and much more.

Sweeping illustrations depict the brown pelican's journey from near extinction to a robust, populous species. Back matter includes more details on the EPA, a glossary, and an index.
