City of Horses
A girl moves to a new part of town where ponies run free, in this warm-hearted middle-grade story of change, family and finding your home New home. New friendships. New rules. Thirteen-year-old Misty's life is about to be turned upside down. When her dad loses his job, they're forced to move to Redbridge - a world away from her house and her friends. But this new part of town brings plenty of surprises - she wasn't expecting to live somewhere that horses run free, and she certainly wasn't expecting to meet Dylan, a mysterious local boy who loves horses... Misty is determined to keep up appearances and hide this new version of life from her old friends at all costs. But the horses she has grown to love come under threat, and she must fight for the courage to stand up for what she believes, and to help save the place she now calls home. This is a heart-warming story for pony-loving middle grade readers, covering a broad range of topics involved in overcoming new challenges. Handling topics such as friendship, family, grief, unemployment, and moving home with a masterful touch, the book will appeal to young readers who like friendship drama and realistic novels where characters are resourceful and determined to make a difference. This is a touching and convincing portrait of an adolescent forced to grow up before her time, but at the heart of this uplifting book is a time-old story of the transformative bond between animal and child.

Travels with Plotinus
In Travels with Plotinus, Moin Mir follows Plotinus's 1,780-year-old journey of personal discovery across India, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey as he tries to understand the core concept of Plotinian thought, derived from studying the Upanishads - 'Unity and Oneness'. He uses Plotinus's philosophy to observe how the free will of intellect uses 'Unity' for good and evil. Intimate conversations with refugees escaping war, innocent boatmen drifting down the Nile, simple farmers and monks in Greece along with observations of ancient art and modern technological accomplishments inform his thoughts and writing on the concept of the oneness of humankind - its immense power to bring good and yet its vulnerability to the stealth of intellect to destroy and self-destruct.

DD’s Umbrella
'It's tender and revealing portrait of characters on the margins.' -- Publishers WeeklyFrom one of Korea's most celebrated contemporary writers, a novel about queer family-building and resistance in the aftermath of the Candlelight Revolution. d, a nonbinary gig worker living in Seoul, briefly escapes the grasp of isolation when they meet dd, only to be ensnared by grief when dd dies in a car accident. As d grapples with personal loss, South Korea reckons with the aftermath of the Sewol ferry disaster that claimed over 300 lives.This formally inventive novel is composed of two novellas: the first from d's perspective and the second from that of a writer contemplating a book they may never write. Both figures live on the margins--queer, working-class, and part of nontraditional family structures.As protests over the Sewol ferry disaster and calls for the president's impeachment sweep Korea, the novel explores how progressive movements often sideline women and sexual minorities in pursuit of the 'greater cause'. dd's Umbrella is a meditative and off-centre novel about mourning and revolution.
