"A" Different Kind Of Superpower
James A Lyons and Bradley Riches
How would you feel if one day your parents came into your room and told you that you had a superpower? Excited? Definitely. Powerful? Maybe.
In a world filled with extraordinary people, it is common for people to possess unique abilities that set them apart from everybody else. You might know them as superpowers. At nine years-old, Bradley is told by his parents that he has been gifted a superpower. He doesn’t know what the power is, or why he has been chosen to own it. To help understand, his parents present him with a bucket filled with all the different superpowers it could be, telling him to live for a day with each so that he can experience every single one, knowing that his real power will soon be revealed.
When Bradley discovers his true self, will he understand the importance of the power that he has been gifted?
Based on true events by Bradley Riches (Heartstopper), and expanded by James A Lyons (The Paper Boy), "A" Different Kind of Superpower helps to teach children, and those around them, that being unique is something to celebrate.

A Scatter of Light
Malinda Lo
Aria Tang West was looking forward to a summer on Martha's Vineyard with her best friends—one last round of sand and sun before college. But after a graduation party goes wrong, Aria's parents exile her to California to stay with her grandmother, artist Joan West. Aria expects boredom, but what she finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother's gardener. Soon, Aria is second-guessing who she is and what she wants to be, and a summer that once seemed lost becomes unforgettable—for Aria, her family, and the working-class queer community Steph introduces her to. It's the kind of summer that changes a life forever.
