Bobby's story is a sheer delight and an ode to book lovers everywhere who believe that the magic of stories reaches beyond the page.&” ―Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling authorIn this opposites-attract YA rom-com inspired by Emma, a failed romantic gesture puts a damper on a queer teen bookseller&’s summer of book matching and matchmaking until a handsome lifeguard and romance skeptic waltzes into his bookstore. Sometimes you get a second chance at happily ever after when you least expect it . . .Curvaceous, clever, and an avid reader, seventeen-year-old Bobby Ashton never misses a main character moment.

Unfortunately, though, his extensive knowledge of every rom-com trope ever doesn&’t prepare him for how tragically he misreads the situation. Suddenly Bobby&’s very public romantic gesture turns into an ordeal so embarrassing it could be a villain origin story.

Cop Cop: Breaking the Fixed System of American Policing
by Mac Muir Greg FinchIn the vein of Evicted and Locking Up Our Own comes a seminal work that delves deep behind the &“Thin Blue Line&” of policing and police misconduct to demonstrate what really goes on when you try to hold the police accountable.How often do you think about the police? Who do you think of? Columbo? Chief Wiggum? Derek Chauvin? Do you think of just one officer, or do you think of the police as an institution? From movies and television to everyday life, a police presence looms over most conflict. Today, we know this to be most true for Black Americans, for whom the suspense of policing is constant. And too often, the argument over dinner devolves into a 9-1-1 call, blue and red lights, and possibly a door rammed open. Some of us are watched by the police, and others are chased. But if there was a defining feature of the 2020 protests over the murder of George Floyd, it was the collective confusion about how we got to this point. Policing, it seemed, had become as ahistorical as it was brutal. Despite fragmented coverage about police unions, militarization, and systemic racism, America remained hazy on the details of what cops had been doing all along.There is a Blue Wall, and ways to get behind it. The authors of this book, Anon 1 and Anon 2, are senior investigators of a government agency tasked with policing the police in New York City. They&’re our eyes on the inside, and this book will take us into their world. COP COP follows the web of real cases that the authors investigated over several years inside the Civilian Complaint Review Board. As they investigate everything from offensive language and chokeholds to shootings, the larger investigation builds into their argument for six simple solutions to fix American policing. Readers will come away with a new vantage point, as well as the tools of an investigator. By combining their unique perspectives as police misconduct investigators with a synthesized history of policing, this book offers newfound insights into what policing really looks like, what the problems are, and what practical steps are necessary to create a criminal justice system that is truly just.

Wild Life: Finding My Purpose in an Untamed World
by Dr. Rae Wynn-GrantIn this vulnerable and urgent memoir, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant explores the ever-shifting relationship between humans, animals, and the earth through her personal journey to becoming a wildlife ecologist. Growing up in the diverse and bustling California Bay Area, renowned wildlife ecologist Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant always felt worlds away from the white male adventurers she watched explore the wilderness on TV. She dreamed of a future where she could spend sleepless nights under the crowded canopies of the Amazon and the starry skies of the savanna. But as Rae set off on her own journey in the wild, finding her way in a profession where there were few scientists who looked like her, she saw nature&’s delicate balance in a new light. In her quest to study the ever-shifting relationship between humans, animals, and place, Rae has realized the vital roles we each play not just as stewards for our land and water, but also for our communities, each other, and ourselves. Wild Life follows Rae from her urban childhood in California and Virginia, to her adventures and explorations in some of the world&’s most rugged and remote locales. Hers is a story about a career in the wild spanning nearly two decades, carving a niche for herself as one of very few Black female scientists, and the challenges she has had to overcome, expectations she has had to leave behind, and the many lessons she has learned along the way. Through her personal story of resilience and adaptation, Rae argues for a more connected, more socially and ecologically conscious world. An incredible journey spanning the Great Plains of North America to the rainforests of Madagascar, Wild Life sheds light on our pivotal relationship and responsibility to the natural world and the relatives—both human and otherwise—that we share it with.
