Norris Kaplan is clever, cynical, and quite possibly too smart for his own good. A Black French Canadian whose family…
just moved to Austin, Texas, Norris finds himself cataloging everyone he meets: the Cheerleaders, the Jocks, the Loners, and even the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. He's amusing himself until it's time to go back to Canada. But soon those labels become actual people: loner Liam, who makes it his mission to befriend Norris; Madison the beta cheerleader, who is so nice that it has to be a trap. And Aarti the Manic Pixie Dream Girl might be a real love interest in the making. When Norris screws everything up royally on prom night, will he be able to stop hiding behind his snarky opinions, and start living his life? For junior and senior high readers. 2019.Par Marty Chan. 2019
Jon loves his new celebrity status. Everyone assumes that because he's Chinese, Jon Wong must be a first-class nerd who's…
good at math. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to shake the stereotypes. And then a rumor starts going around that Jon is a kung fu master. Rather than correct the mistake, Jon plays up the role and enjoys all the attention.

Eleven-year-old super skateboarder Sibby Henry liked her life just fine until her father quit his job and forced her family…
to move from Charlottetown to Halifax. Now she's living with her Nan and Pops, starting at a new school and missing her super best friend Vera. On top of all that, Sibby is without the one thing that helps her feel confident and grounded: her skateboard. Within minutes of arriving at her new school, Sibby knows she will have a hard time following Vera's two rules for making new friends. First rule, stay chill. Second, ignore trouble. It's hard to be chill when you see a brand new super dope skate park but you no longer have a skateboard. And, when a kid named Freddie starts to push Sibby's friend around, Sibby knows she's found the kind of trouble that can't be ignored. Grades 5-8. 2019.Par Fanny Britt. 2020
L'argent ne fait pas le bonheur, paraît-il, mais ne donne-t-il pas l'occasion de s'arrêter, de "penser à soi" ? Comment…
ne pas voir l'absurdité de cette affirmation, "penser à soi", comme si ce n'était pas ce que nous faisons déjà la majorité du temps ? Dans ce roman choral sur la dislocation progressive d'un couple, Fanny Britt creuse sans merci la question de nos privilèges. On y rencontre Adam et Marion, dont la vie auréolée de succès sera mêlée à celle de Celia, qui a compris quelque chose du monde qu'ils ne savent pas encore. Faire les sucres parcourt d'un pas vif le Montréal prospère des foodies et des artistes du divertissement, visite une fabrique de bonbons salés sur l'île de Martha's Vineyard au Massachusetts, assiste aux répétitions d'une chorale anglophone, et écoute monter l'eau dans les arbres d'une érablière de la région d'OkaPar Kevin Lambert. 2022
As a millworkers’ strike in the northern lumber town of Roberval drags on, tensions start to escalate between the workers—but…
when a lockout renews their solidarity, they rally around the mysterious and magnetic influence of Querelle, a dashing newcomer from Montreal. Strapping and unabashed, likeable but callow, by day he walks the picket lines and at night moves like a mythic Adonis through the ranks of young men who flock to his apartment for sex. As the dispute hardens and both sides refuse to yield, sand stalls the gears of the economic machine and the tinderbox of class struggle and entitlement ignites in a firestorm of passions carnal and violent. Trenchant social drama, a tribute to Jean Genet’s antihero, and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of France’s Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.Par Michelle Kadarusman. 2022

school year and Oliver is looking forward to a seventh-grade year full of spitballs, jokes and pranks with his friend Nathan. And their new homeroom teacher, Mr. Aidact, looks like a prime target.

And when the secret leaks out, the school and the PTA are in an uproar, and calls for his “deactivation” are loud and clear.Can Oliver and his friends turn this plan around and save the teacher they’ve grown to love and appreciate?Par Dimitri Nasrallah. 2023
