"From the author of The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett and As You Wish comes the unforgettable story of the one small town's biggest hoax and the two brothers who started it all.
This is the absolutely true account of how Lansburg, Pennsylvania was invaded by aliens and the weeks of chaos that followed. There were sightings of UFOs, close encounters, and even abductions. There were believers, Truth Seekers, and, above all, people who looked to the sky and hoped for more.
Only...there were no aliens.
Gideon Hofstadt knows what really happened. When one of his science experiments went wrong, he and his older brother blamed the resulting explosion on extraterrestrial activity. And their lie was not only believed by their town?it was embraced. As the brothers go to increasingly greater lengths to keep up the ruse and avoid getting caught, the hoax flourishes. But Gideon's obsession with their tale threatened his whole world. Can he find a way to banish the aliens before Lansburg, and his life, are changed forever?
Told in a report format and comprised of interviews, blog posts, text conversations, found documents, and so much more, It Came from the Sky is a hysterical and resonant novel about what it means to be human in the face of the unknown."

"From slavery to George Floyd, discover the history of racism in the USA, from its beginning to today.Welcome to the 21st century, the time when racism is alive and well, even though everybody claims they live in a post-racial society. In order to fight the racist thought, it is essential that people first understand how racist ideas were developed, disseminated, and enshrined in American society.
Written by Seymour Abrahams, American Racism Paradox explores the idea of racism from the day it appeared until today. Abrahams points out that, contrary to popular belief, racism didn't appear because of hatred or ignorance. Instead, it was devised by the brilliant minds of each era. These people wanted to entrench discriminatory policies and the nation's racial disparities in everything from wealth to health.
Here's what American Racism Paradox has to offer:
- The History of Racism: Discover when racism appeared and how it managed to infect the minds of millions of Americans.
- From Colonialism Until Today: Find out how racism shaped the society since the 18th century and how it changed to become more heinous than ever before.
- A New Type of Slavery: Learn how people of color are slaves to the white supremacist society, even now in the 21st century.
- And much more!
Even though racist ideas are easily produced, they can be as easily discredited. Abrahams wrote this book as an additional attempt to fight racism. American Racism Paradox sheds a light on the murky history of racist ideas and offers the listener all the tools they need to expose them. The fight against racism is not over; it is just getting started!

"WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021
LONGLISTED FOR THE POLARI CHILDREN’S & YA BOOK PRIZE 2022
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of Solitaire and the graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series.
It was all sinking in. I’d never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean?
Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush – but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she’s sure she’ll find her person one day.
As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia’s ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her ‘teenage dream’ is in sight.
But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her – asexual, aromantic – Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever.
Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along?
This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn’t limited to romance.
