Conchies: Conscientious Objectors of the First World War
by Ann KramerWhen, at the height of the First World War, many Allied governments introduced conscription, there were thousands of individuals who, for personal or religious reasons, refused to fight. After tough questioning, some were exempted but the majority were forced into the army anyways. Those who 'refused to do their duty' were threatened with death sentences or harsh prison terms; many died from ill treatment. Conchies collects many of the moving true stories of these brave individuals.
Conditions of a Heart
by Bethany MangleFor fans of Talia Hibbert and Lynn Painter comes a funny and unflinchingly honest story about a teen who must come to terms with her disability and what it means for her identity, her love life, and her future.Brynn Kwan is desperate for her high school persona to be real. That Brynn is head of the yearbook committee, the favorite for prom queen, and definitely not crumbling from a secret disability that&’s rapidly wearing her down. If no one knows the truth about her condition, Brynn doesn&’t have to worry about the pitying looks or accusations of being a faker that already destroyed her childhood friendships. She&’s even willing to let go of her four-year relationship with her first love, Oliver, rather than reveal that a necessary surgery was the reason she ignored his existence for the entire summer. But after Brynn tries to break up a fight at a pep rally and winds up barred from all her clubs and senior prom, she has nothing left to prop up her illusion of being just like everyone else. During a week-long suspension from school, she realizes that she doesn&’t quite recognize the face in the mirror—and it&’s not because of her black eye from the fight. With a healthy sister who simply doesn&’t understand and a confused ex-boyfriend who won&’t just take a hint and go away like a normal human being, Brynn begins to wonder if it&’s possible to reinvent her world by being the person she thought no one wanted: herself.
