Great—a gerbil belonging to her son Jackson—were forced to<br />

all to get Thunder and herself to safety for the sake of her<br />
son.<br />
Saving Thunder the Great is the true story of a gerbil’s rescue, a<br />
mother’s love for her child, and the community who helps her.<br />

Meet Madeline and Justin. Before Madeline’s bike accident left her<br />
with a traumatic brain injury, she and her twin sister were inseparable.<br />
So were her parents. But now, Madeline’s parents are divorced<br />
and Becky has become rebellious, angry, and sneaky. Even worse,<br />
she doesn’t seem to want Madeline around anymore. At least Madeline<br />
knows she can always rely on the miniature therapy horses she<br />
visits every week.<br />
Justin is a senior and the president of his school’s Best Buddies club.<br />
Before his sister with autism died, he used to take her to the barn to<br />
visit her beloved therapy horses. Now, with Madeline, he goes there<br />
to escape the gloom of his mother’s grief at home and the pressures<br />
of his final year in high school.<br />
Together, Justin and Madeline help each other to reconnect with<br />
the important people in their lives — and with the lives that they<br />
thought they’d lost.<br />
Each One-2-One novel tells the story of a different pair of teens participating<br />
in the Best Buddies program at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary<br />
School.<br />

As a young boy, José Martí traveled to the countryside of Cuba and<br />
fell in love with the natural beauty of the land. During this trip he also<br />
witnessed the cruelties of slavery on sugar plantations. From that<br />
moment, Martí began to fight for the abolishment of slavery and for<br />
Cuban independence from Spain through his writing. By age seventeen,<br />
he was declared an enemy of Spain and was forced to leave his<br />
beloved island. Martí traveled the world and eventually settled in<br />
New York City. But the longer he stayed away from his homeland, the<br />
sicker and weaker he became. On doctor’s orders he traveled to the<br />
Catskill Mountains, where nature inspired him once again to fight for<br />
freedom.<br />
Here is a beautiful tribute to José Martí, written in verse with excerpts<br />
from his seminal work, Versos Sencillos. He will always be remembered<br />
as a courageous fighter for freedom and peace among<br />
all men and women.<br />

nails, Casey wants glittery nails too. And when Abuelita visits<br />

like Jessie. The adults in Casey’s life embrace his interests, but Jessie<br />
isn’t so sure. Boys aren’t supposed to wear sparkly, shimmery, glittery<br />
things. Then, when older boys at the library tease Casey for wearing<br />
“girl” things, Jessie realizes that Casey has the right to be himself and<br />
wear whatever he wants. Why can’t both she and Casey love all things<br />
shimmery, glittery, and sparkly?<br />

Every Month’s a New Year<br />
Marilyn Singer<br />
Illustrated by Susan L. Roth<br />
Around the world, people celebrate the start of the new year at midnight<br />
when December 31 becomes January 1. But not everyone celebrates<br />
on this date. In fact, during every month of the year, some<br />
group of people in some part of the world is celebrating the new<br />
year. Chinese New Year is celebrated in January or February. Nowruz,<br />
the Iranian New Year, is celebrated on March 21. Rosh Hashanah, the<br />
Jewish New Year, is celebrated in September or October. Diwali, celebrated<br />
in parts of India, falls in October or November. All these celebrations,<br />
and many others, have unique traditions and festivities that<br />
people observe.<br />
Acclaimed poet MARILYN SINGER has created a lively collection of poems<br />
that pay tribute to several of these fascinating festivities, some<br />
well-known and some lesser-known. Together with Susan L. Roth’s vibrant<br />

Take a Picture of me James Van Der Zee!<br />
Andrea Loney<br />
Illustrated by Keith Mallett<br />
After being told by his boss that no one would want his or her photo<br />
taken “by a black man,” James Van Der Zee opened his own portrait studio<br />
in Harlem. He took photographs of legendary figures of the Harlem<br />
Renaissance—politicians such as Marcus Garvey, performers including<br />
Florence Mills, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, and Mamie Smith—and<br />
ordinary folks in the neighborhood too. Winner of Lee & Low’s New<br />
Voices Award, Take a Picture of Me, James Van Der Zee! tells the story of a<br />
groundbreaking artist who chronicled an important era in Harlem and<br />
showed the beauty and pride of its people.<br />

In Darrell Epp’s latest collection After Hours, our hero awaits Dorothee’s<br />
return, while frankensteins invade Canada. Poltergeists patrol the<br />
hollowed-out manufacturing sector. The future’s a let-down; contingency<br />
plans are hastily constructed. Every moment’s an apocalypse as<br />
divine grace pummels Metropolis like a blizzard of fists.<br />
DARRELL EPP’s poetry has appeared in dozens of magazines around<br />
the world including Maisonneuve, Poetry Ireland, Sub-Terrain, and The<br />
Saranac Review. His previous poetry collection was entitled Imaginary<br />
Maps (2009). He lives in Hamilton, Ontario.<br />
After the Ball is Over<br />
A Book for Old People<br />
Evelyn Wolfe<br />
After the Ball is Over is a continuation of Wolfe’s first memoir. It’s a story<br />
of the ‘zoomer’ generation and deals with issues of aging, the death of<br />
the author’s husband, friends and family, a new romance, grandchildren,<br />
bridge, travel, and how to keep active and adventurous in your<br />
80’s.<br />
EVELYN WOLFE’s first memoir Stray Cats & Other Loves was published<br />
to critical acclaim in 2004. The Globe and Mail called it ”an impressive,<br />
engaging autobiography and a welcome addition to the growing<br />
body of literature about the Toronto Jewish community.” Excerpts<br />
from it were included in a TTC campaign for bus shelter adverts. Wolfe<br />
is very widely known and admired in Toronto by her community, her<br />
city and by the people who have known and worked with her.<br />

Time Flowing Backwards<br />
A Memoir<br />
Graeme Jefferies<br />
Time Flowing Backwards is the fascinating and revelating story of<br />
Graeme Jefferies - one of the most inventive and influential musicians<br />
to emerge from New Zealand’s vibrant independent music scene in<br />
the 1980’s. This spans over three decades of Jefferies’ career spent<br />
with bands Nocturnal Projections, This Kind of Punishment and The<br />
Cakekitchen, as well as a solo artist. In a candid and in-depth style,<br />
Jefferies recounts his recording and songwriting process along with<br />
riveting tales from incident-filled tours with the likes of Pavement,<br />
Cat Power, The Mountain Goats and many more.<br />
GRAEME JEFFERIES first emerged in 1981 with New Plymouth postpunk<br />
band Nocturnal Projections alongside his brother Peter Jefferies.<br />
Graeme and his brother went on to form This Kind of Punishment<br />
in 1983, a project that embraced DIY home-recording to produce a<br />
series of powerful and adventure records released by the seminal indie<br />
label Flying Nun.<br />

SHORTLISTED FOR THE TUSCANY PRIZE<br />
A Matter of Geography begins in the early 1900s in the heart of Bombay<br />
where young Peter and Anna are neighbours residing with their<br />
families. They live in the Billimoria Building, ensconced in the Catholic<br />
ghetto. When Hindus destroy a mosque in the distant Indian state of<br />
Ayodhya, riots explode in Bombay, the worst the city has witnessed.<br />
Peter and Anna, just 21 and 16 years old, are caught in the explosion<br />
while their families take on the task of sheltering a Muslim neighbour.<br />
Amidst their turmoil and tragedy, Anna’s family emigrates to<br />
Canada and she is separated from Peter, just as their love blossoms.<br />
Fifteen years later, Anna returns to India to claim property she has<br />
inherited. For an instant, she believes she may have a second chance<br />
with Peter, but sectarian violence builds walls between them once<br />
again.<br />
JASMINE D’COSTA’s first book Curry is Thicker than Water, was longlisted<br />
for the Frank O’Connor Prize, and nominated for the White Pine<br />
Award. Her manuscript for what would become A Matter of Geography<br />
was short-listed for the Tuscany Prize in 2015 and her short story<br />
was short-listed for the Dastaan International Prize (2015). She is the<br />
past Writer-in-Residence of the Heliconian Club in Canada.<br />

A bride, a groom, and a lover. Each with secrets from their past that<br />
when exposed, will change their lives forever. One will die, another<br />
will hang, and the survivor will begin an obsessive twenty-year odyssey<br />
to discover the truth. Three people caught up in the harsh class<br />
differences and religious and racial prejudices of Victorian Canada,<br />
where a vast new territory – the “Queen’s Bush” – is being opened to<br />
settlement in Ontario’s Georgian Bay country. Inspired by the true<br />
lives of Rosannah Leppard and Cook Teets, real people who lived and<br />
loved, An Act of Injustice follows disgruntled newspaperman Leonard<br />
Babington in a combination courtroom drama, murder mystery, and<br />
a meditation on the moral malaise of Victorian Canada. His obsession<br />
to find the killer plunges him into the labyrinth world of Ottawa<br />
power politics, the salons of a smug and self-satisfied “Toronto the<br />
Good,” and the licentiousness of the city’s Insane Asylum. Ray Argyle<br />
achieves literary distinction and storytelling mastery in this Canadian<br />
historical novel that brings the urgency of today’s headlines<br />
to the struggle for romance, justice and equality in a young Canada<br />
making its way to the 20th Century.<br />
RAY ARGYLE has been a journalist, publishing executive and communications<br />
consultant. His books include five biographical fascinating<br />
personaltities, including french leader Charles de Gaulle, ragtime<br />
musician Scott Joplin, and Canada’s last Father of Confederation,<br />

Selected and New Poems<br />
Chad Norman<br />
Chad Norman hopes readers find an entrance into his poems. Over<br />
the years, both the page and the performance have provided doors<br />
without locks, just handles that need to be turned, and pushed upon,<br />
finding the poem no more than a room to be entered, a room to be<br />
found both comfortable and easily exited. However, these poems<br />
have their own desires, and wishes, to go back out into the world,<br />
caught in our mind, or the memory, or where the heart stores what<br />
the past and future may wish to present to whomever chooses to<br />
stop and read what they have to offer.<br />
Selected and New Poems compiles a series of new poems by Norman<br />
alongside a curated selection of some of his most acclaimed and well<br />
regarded works from previous work to form a book that reflects Norman’s<br />
truely unique and evolving voice.<br />
CHAD NORMAN currently lives in Truro, Nova Scotia.<br />
François Boucher: Sociability,<br />
Mondanité and the Academy in the Age<br />
of Louis XV<br />
Christoph Vogtherr & Leda Consentino eds.<br />
François Boucher: Sociability, Mondanité and the Academy in the Age of<br />
Louis XV assembles fourteen thought-provoking essays from leading<br />
international scholars originally presented at the conference Boucher<br />
and the Enlightenment, held at the Wallace Collection.<br />
Taken as a whole, the essays present a wealth of new material concerning<br />
Boucher’s social and professional relationships to his patrons,<br />
dealers and fellow artists, which in turn illuminate, as no subsequent<br />
publication has done, his extraordinary position at the crossroads of<br />
the fine, decorative literary and musical arts of his time. The book<br />
includes biographical information regarding Boucher’s life, artistic<br />
practices and relationships, while new research is also published regarding<br />
detailed connoisseurship and dating of his work alongside<br />
new interpretations of its iconography and critical and commercial<br />
reception.<br />
Half of this book is Boucher’s original French text.<br />

Small Acts shares Bernice Lever’s mature voice in full swing from ironic<br />
love poems via Facebook – to gentle suggestions of how to create<br />
peace in our homes and areas – to ironic political rants – to awe of<br />
the beauty of our earth that seems in a state of destruction – to fame<br />
and wealth addictions. Small Acts is both a warning of what could be<br />
if people don’t start caring, and a herald of hope in the promise of<br />
tomorrow and the power of small acts of kindness.<br />
The Blue Flow Below<br />
Don Gutteridge<br />
The Blue Flow Below is a collection of poems in which the poet revisits<br />
his childhood and reflects on being a grandfather and a writer.<br />
“Like a bridge newly built over the wide expanse of a fast flowing<br />
river, these poems span the life of a man who still tingles with<br />
amazement at the beauty of the present, as he also sees through<br />
misty memory how viewing the past with a clear eye might yield the<br />
sacred truth of what it means to be fully human. Whether Don Gutteridge<br />
is recalling his childhood, remembering the loss of contemporary<br />
friends grown old, or he is delighting in the love he feels for<br />
his family, he is a man who continues to celebrate his own good fortune.<br />
He sees deep into the blue water flowing beneath the bridge,<br />
though he sometimes finds himself stranded on the shore. His poetry<br />
embraces scripture, celebrating both the child’s Bible Christ of<br />
the hymn Jesus Loves Me, and the adult understanding of the suffering<br />
of Christ on the cross. He does not shy away from death. These<br />
are brave poems. Like small prayers they partake in the possibility<br />
of language as a numinous reminder that the best words in the best<br />
order might bring inner life to the surface where it shines. “<br />

the book), explores Thomson’s legacy and inner journey as he meets<br />

of the creative journey to honour one of Canada’s greatest artists.<br />
1967: Centennial Year<br />
Bruce Meyer<br />
The book 1967: Centennial Year is a collection of poetry that commemorates<br />
Canada’s 150th anniversary through the eyes of a 10-<br />

both Canada and Bruce witnessed together to form what they are<br />
today. This collection features award-winning pieces such as “Sunday<br />
Drives” and “Heirloom Tomatoes,” but does not take away the brilliance<br />
behind “Instamatic, December 1966” and “The Boy Without<br />

with their working life. As everyone’s idea of a meaningful job is<br />
different, it is not prescriptive or a definitive manual. Instead, it will<br />
inform and inspire readers – helping them to identify the best step(s)<br />
toward a more satisfying work life. There are two primary audiences:<br />
jobseekers (school leavers and graduates) and career switchers.<br />
Though they may have different experiences, there are crossovers<br />
between these groups – e.g. many people already in work will feel<br />
like they are starting again when they look to switch careers.<br />
PAUL ALLEN writes about the voluntary sector for the Guardian, has<br />
run environmental projects for the BBC, and helped charities like<br />
Macmillan Cancer Support find their tone of voice.<br />

No Killing Sky<br />
Rory McCourt<br />
When a young Irish climber, Liam Doyle, sets out to discover who has<br />
murdered his father, high in the death zone of the ‘savage mountain’<br />
K2, he is confronted by a series of inexplicable and deeply troubling<br />
events.<br />
Gradually and circuitously he uncovers an international fossil fuel<br />
cartel that has set out to restore the Arctic ice sheets, by covertly<br />
releasing aerosol sulphates into the planet’s stratosphere. Their intention<br />
is, once again, to discredit contemporary climate science,<br />
manipulate the markets, delay the development of renewables and<br />
ultimately make a further fortune from ongoing geo-engineering.<br />
Ice has returned, the South Asian monsoon has failed again and<br />
Donna Stone, the new US president, has been assassinated. There is<br />
now no choice for Liam and his associates but to risk their lives trying<br />
to expose the activities of this criminal cabal to the world’s media.<br />
Only then might it be possible to prevent a catastrophe that could<br />
ultimately claim the lives of more than a billion people.<br />
RORY MCCOURT co-wrote, with Boyd Anderson, the novel Children<br />
of the Dust under the name Anderson McCourt. Apart from fiction<br />
he works extensively with several environmental groups concerned<br />
with climate change, ongoing coal mining and the health of Australia’s<br />
Great Barrier Reef.<br />

The Walk<br />
Peter Barry<br />
It is 1987, two years after Live Aid and PR expert Adrian Burles, working<br />
with charity Africa Assist has a Big Idea that he thinks will keep<br />
Ethiopian hunger in the headlines and touch heartstrings (and purse<br />
strings) of people in the West.<br />
Aided by Anne Chaffey, an experienced nurse who has worked at the<br />
famine frontline for many years, he locates a young, malnourished<br />
Afar man called Mujtabaa wandering alone in the desert and flies<br />
him back to London.<br />
The world’s media is then invited to witness a skeletal Mujtabaa making<br />
a week long walk from Heathrow to a rally in Trafalgar Square.<br />
In fundraising terms, this was a great success – but the ethics of the<br />
exercise, the human impact on all concerned and the ultimate result<br />
are all profoundly to be questioned.<br />
The Walk is a provocative and unsettling novel about the morality of<br />
charity, the media and public relations. Situated in one single week it<br />
explores how far you can go to prick the public conscience.<br />
PETER BARRY is the author of two other novels, I Hate Martin Amis Et<br />
Al and We All Fall Down<br />
The Equality Effect<br />
Danny Dorling<br />
In more equal countries, human beings are generally happier and<br />
healthier, there is less crime, more creativity and higher educational<br />
attainment. Danny Dorling delivers all evidence that is now so overwhelming<br />
that it should be changing politics and society all over the<br />
world.<br />
For the past four decades, many countries, including the US and the<br />
UK, have chosen the path to greater inequality on the assumption<br />
that there is no alternative. Yet even under globalization, other nations<br />
continue to take a different road. The time will come when The<br />
Equality Effect will be as readily accepted as women voting or former<br />
colonies gaining independence – and it will come very soon.<br />
DANNY DORLING is a social geographer and the Halford Mackinder<br />
Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford.<br />

A Class Act<br />
An Illustrated History of the Labour<br />
Movement in Newfoundland and Labrador<br />
Bill Gillespie<br />
Union activists rarely make it into the history books and when they<br />
do the picture is seldom flattering. In this new edition of A Class Act<br />
journalist Bill Gillespie confronts the myth.<br />
This is the story of how Newfoundland and Labrador union members<br />
turned the nation, the colony and the province into the most highly<br />
organized jurisdiction in North America. Gillespie’s research reveals<br />
union losses and victories, their weaknesses and strengths and ultimately,<br />
their success. The narrative is illustrated with more than a<br />
hundred photographs.<br />

In this illustrated collection of trivia you’ll find questions, facts, and<br />

Where I Wanted to Be depicts the challenges of living a real life,<br />
holding down a job, or trying to, in a world most of us have to contend<br />
with on a daily basis.<br />
It’s difficult to pull off a portrait of a nice guy in ordinary circumstances,<br />
going through the stress of daily living and tensions surrounding<br />
job and career opportunities, and Abray does it very well<br />
in simple, understated prose. No sensationalism or alien beings or<br />
suicidal desperation or academic angst or terrorist attacks or other<br />
assorted rampages and violations: just a life without earthshaking<br />
incident, but subtly humourous and convincing.<br />
TOM ABRAY grew up near Strathroy, Ontario, and then moved to<br />
Montreal to study English at McGill University. After completing his<br />
M.A. in creative writing at Concordia University he began teaching<br />
at John Abbott College. His collection of short stories, Pollen<br />
(DC Books, 2011), was shortlisted for the Concordia University First<br />
Book Prize, as well as the Paragraphe Hugh MacLennan Prize for<br />
Fiction.<br />

Wolves of the Yukon<br />
Bob Hayes<br />
Bob Hayes researched wolves in the Yukon for 20 years. Using a combination<br />
of narratives and easy-to-follow essays, his book follows the<br />
history of the Yukon wolf from the end of the Ice Age to present day.<br />
Bob also explores his original research into wolf relations to moose,<br />
caribou, mountain sheep, ravens, grizzly bears and human hunters.<br />
In the last chapter he tells us why broad-scale killing of wolves to increase<br />
game should end. Finally, Wolves of the Yukon raises profound<br />
arguments about how to value and conserve the largest remaining<br />
tract of complete wilderness on the continent.<br />

North American Bison<br />
Their Classification and Evolution<br />
Jerry N. McDonald<br />
North American Bison was originally published in 1981. It was based<br />
primarily upon information contained in paleontological, zoological,<br />
and archaeological collections in some 30 museums and universities<br />
in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The resulting skeletal and<br />
chronological patterns were then fitted into the emerging habitat<br />
patterns to allow an ecological interpretation of the adaptation of<br />
the various species of bison to different environments during their<br />
tenure of, probably, more than a million years on the North American<br />
continent.<br />
Most Wonderful in the Smallest<br />
A Freshwater Microscopist’s Year<br />
Hernick<br />
The book is written as a first person narrative in the form of a journal.<br />
It comprises four chapters – <strong>Spring</strong>, Summer, Autumn, Winter – and<br />
the entries within each season describe the sample-collecting forays<br />
to local freshwater environments during one year. Microscopic<br />
organisms encountered in the slides derived from the samples are<br />
discussed and illustrated. The major protist groups are all covered,<br />
as well as a few metazoans and bacteria. The purpose is to show the<br />
reader what wonderful life forms are present microscopically in<br />
freshwater environments all around us, and to demonstrate that<br />
viewing and photographing them does not require sophisticated<br />
means. Also explaining why micro-communities are important and<br />
should be conserved.<br />

Thomas Jefferson, the Megalonyx, and<br />
the Legacy<br />
Clayton Ray<br />
Thomas Jefferson, an extraordinary communicator, is often considered<br />
to be among the most accomplished demonstrators of the<br />
American Enlightenment. Among the many subject areas of interest<br />
to Jefferson was natural history, and his writings in this subject area,<br />
although rare, were superlative demonstrations of the thoughts of<br />
the time and the direction in which the youthful science of natural<br />
history was moving. This book looks first and foremost at Jefferson’s<br />
grasp and practice of science: it focuses in particular upon his efforts<br />
to document, describe, interpret and preserve the remains of<br />
parts of the skeleton of an extinct ground sloth from what is now<br />
West Virginia, the first extinct land mammal to be described from the<br />
continent; it reviews how his science has been viewed, overlooked,<br />
or criticized since he lived; and it expands upon the science of the<br />
ground sloth that has unfolded since he initially authored the first<br />
account of the existence of this form of life on the continent.<br />
