Lark Ascending, A

Author: Campbell, John B.

Life on the streets of London’s East End in 1921 presents thirteen-year-old Malcolm Roberts with a daunting array of challenges. Trying to stand up to bullies is hard enough. And pluck can backfire. While trailing some suspicious youths in Whitechapel, he stumbles upon a back-alley plot to purge Limehouse of its Chinese inhabitants. Malcolm cannot imagine what he could do about it.

Like most of his schoolmates, he is tempted to lose himself in play and books. But his home life has changed. His mother is two years in the grave and his father fights an ongoing battle with shell shock and drink.

Before Malcolm can make a decision, someone dear to him is murdered. Soon thereafter, a mysterious young woman offers her help to find the killer and the alliance complicates his life even further. His only real support comes from his friend Sid Shapiro and a Chinese urchin called Jun. Together, they discover the connection between the murder and the looming crisis.

Fear of a vicious policeman prevents Malcolm from reporting those facts to the authorities. It becomes a race against time as the alleyways of Stepney, Whitechapel and Limehouse become even more dangerous. Will Malcolm and his mates prove themselves up to the challenge?

Evolution, Me & Other Freaks of Nature

Author: Brande, Robin

I knew today would be ugly…

It’s the first day of high school for Mena, and already her world looks bleak: she’s an outcast, all her former friends hate her, even her parents barely speak to her anymore. And why? Because she tried to do the right thing. And then everything went wrong.

But can a cute, nerdy lab partner; his bossy, outspoken sister; and an unconventional, imaginative science teacher be just what Mena needs to turn her life around?

Or will the combination of all of them only make things worse?

Tom Brown’s School Days

Author: Hughes, Thomas

One of the classics of English children’s literature, and one of the earliest books written specifically for boys, this novel’s steady popularity has given it an influence well beyond the upper middle-class world that it describes. It tells a story central to an understanding of Victorian life, but its freshness helps to distinguish it from the narrow schoolboy adventures that it later inspired. The book includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Sanders.
