DOWNLOAD EBOOKShortlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2019, National Book Award, Books Are My Bag Readers' Awards and the YA Book Prize Includes an exclusive preview of The Silent Stars Go By by Sally Nicholls Through rallies and marches, in polite drawing rooms and freezing prison cells and the poverty-stricken slums of the East End, three courageous young women join the fight for the vote. Evelyn is seventeen, and though she is rich and clever, she may never be allowed to follow her older brother to university. Enraged that she is expected to marry her childhood sweetheart rather than be educated, she joins the Suffragettes, and vows to pay the ultimate price for women's freedom. May is fifteen, and already sworn to the cause, though she and her fellow Suffragists refuse violence. When she meets Nell, a girl who's grown up in hardship, she sees a kindred spirit. Together and in love, the two girls start to dream of a world where all kinds of women have their place. But the fight for freedom will challenge Evelyn, May and Nell more than they ever could believe. As war looms, just how much are they willing to sacrifice?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRosemary McCarney, President and CEO of Plan International Canada, has followed up the her popular picture book Every Day is Malala Day with a book for middle grade readers, also inspired by her international development work. Working with Plan, Rosemary helped craft its Because I am a Girl global initiative to end gender inequality, promote girls' rights, and lift millions of girls out of poverty, and helped lead the charge for the United Nations to declare October 11th the "International Day of the Girl" - a day each year to recognize and advocate for girls' rights globally. This book illustrates the Because I am a Girl call to change by telling the stories of individual girls throughout the world. They tell us: "Because I am a girl, I eat if there is food left over when everyone is done" and "I am the poorest of the poor." The later stories are about hope, with chapters like "Because I am a girl, I will share what I know" and " I am the heart of my community" and "I can change the world." Illustrated with Plan's amazing photographs and including "Did You Know" fact sections.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEVERYONE IN HIGH SCHOOL WONDERED WHO WOULD WIN THE FREE FLYING LESSONS... ‘Tomboy’ Loretta Larkin excels in sports, but privately envies her popular blonde high school classmate, Elsie Wynn. When the new local airport announces an essay contest with flying lessons as the tempting prize, Rette decides to enter—and wins! She finds that learning to solo can be a way to not-soloing the prom. Betty Cavanna writes of teenagers with sure understanding of their inner lives and the high school scene. A Girl Can Dream was a Junior Literary Guild Selection. Before writing it Miss Cavanna herself took flying lessons and learned about ‘stalls’ and ‘spins’ from a flying instructor not unlike Pat Creatore.
