Solo
Outside she is a shy little girl, but inside are magic worlds and rocket submarines. Discover the power of the introvert. It’s fun to be part of a busy, whizzy crowd. Sometimes, when things are noisy, do you long for the space and quiet that lets your imagination flow? Get ready for Solo to take you on an adventure where we discover being alone is not the same as being lonely, and you should not judge an introvert by her cover! We can guess Solo is an introvert through her name, but you can see from her bright yellow coat that she’s also strong and independent. She isn’t lonely: she enjoys being alone. Jesse is a classic extrovert who immediately asks Solo to play, but he also has emotional intelligence, working out quickly that Solo is overwhelmed. When he finds her again, they create a special place where the two are friends who perfectly compliment each other. Clark uses colour and shape to perfectly express the complexity of each character and show us the story instead of just telling.

The Harder I Fight The More I Love You: A Memoir
A New York Times Bestseller · An Apple Best Book of the Month, February 2025An unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary life-one forged through a poverty-stricken childhood in 'slummy, one-horse towns'; obsessive desire; bursts of comedy; and indispensable friendships, reflecting on the way art, music, and a deep connection to nature helped her on a singular journey to become a beloved, Grammy-nominated artist. Neko Case has long been revered as one of music's most influential artists, whose authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and sly wit have endeared her to a legion of critics, musicians, and lifelong fans. In The Harder I Fight The More I Love You, Case brings her trademark candour and precision to a memoir that traces her evolution from an invisible girl 'raised by two dogs and a space heater' in rural Washington state to her improbable emergence as an internationally-acclaimed talent. In luminous, sharp-edged prose, Case shows readers what it's like to be left alone for hours and hours as a child, to take refuge in the woods around her home, and to channel the monotony and loneliness and joy that comes from music, camaraderie, and shared experience into art. The Harder I Fight The More I Love You is a rebellious meditation on identity and corruption, and a manifesto on how to make space for ourselves in this world, despite the obstacles we face.

Plato's Crito
Many people read the Crito primarily as a companion piece to the Apology and as one of Plato's statements on the nature of politics and the citizen's relationship to the state. This book challenges both of those assumptions and shows, by close analysis of the characters, the argument and the dramatic features of the dialogue, that it is best read as an exploration of the nature and significance of Socratic moral reasoning. It shows that there is a single argument throughout the dialogue and that the 'Laws of Athens' are best understood as supporting Socrates' attempt to convince Crito that a commitment to the currently best rational argument justifies his submission to the death penalty, despite the injustice of his sentence. The importance of the Crito for later political and legal theory is great, but the reception of the dialogue should not blind us to its original intention and significance.
