The Life I Didn’t Plan
*Prima Book of the Month for June 2026* 'Witty, laugh-out-loud funny, and genuinely heartwarming' Reader review ? 'I truly didn't want to put this book down' Reader review ? 'I was moved to tears and laughter' Reader review ? Beth didn't expect to get pregnant at seventeen. Nor did she think she'd lose the name and address of the father of her child. Swept up in romance on her French exchange, all she remembers is that his hair smelt like mangoes. Now, in 2026, at her school reunion, she opens the time capsule she wrote to herself at that time. Inside she finds a letter that alters everything Beth thought she knew about her past, and provides an all important clue for finding the father of her 19-year-old daughter, Maisie. Hit hard by the difference between the life she hoped for and the one she’s living, Beth is faced with a choice: chase the adventures she once dreamed of, or embrace the new opportunities life presents?

Ton-Iasg
Gaelic translation of funny, heartwarming French bestseller Poisson-Fesse (Buttfish) about a fish that's different. Deep down he just wants to be like all the other fish. But his adventures take him to the depths of the oceans where he discovers other unusual fish, new friends, happiness and renewed self-confidence. The Gaelic title is Ton-iasg Toinisgeil. The central character is a bright pink fish. In the English version he's called Buttfish because he looks a bit like a butt. Aware he's different, he reluctantly puts up with constant teasing and being the 'butt' of his friends jokes. He desperately wants to fit in, deep down he longs to be like all the other fish. One day he decides to swim to the deepest part of the ocean and explore. Here he discovers he's not alone. There are a host of other unusual fish, including Steven, a fish shaped like a cheese wedge! The two unusual chums quickly develop a close friendship... ... and after many adventures they even become 'guardians of the open seas'. The book ends with our hero being told, that looked at from a different perspective, his 'butt' shape, also makes him look like a heart. It's a funny, heart-warming story that rightly deserves its place at the top of the French children's charts. Its message of inclusion and celebration of difference might be universal, but here they are explored in a truly endearing story. Following its success in France the book is due to be published in at least 16 other countries.

As the first African American principal female dancer at American Ballet Theatre, Misty Copeland has spent most of her career navigating a white-dominated industry that puts many barriers in her path. Through it all, Misty has credited the many mentors who have helped her become the dancer and person she is today. With Misty’s profile now at peak heights, she has found herself in a mentor role, often asked for advice on everything from dance-specific questions to life lessons about being the “other” in certain spaces by her fans. As Misty herself has said, “I think it’s really important to have a community around you, a support system, mentors, people that are going to be there for you on those days when you just aren’t strong enough to do it yourself.” Given that philosophy, Misty is thrilled to have created this book of advice, covering everything from body confidence to balancing various commitments and how to break out of your comfort zone. Each section includes personal anecdotes from Misty about the topic that bring her perspective to life.

AI for Good
In contrast to the wave of noisy polemics around AI, AI For Good explores how, in practice, it can actually improve our lives and tells the stories of everyday citizens at the forefront of this new “AI entrepreneurship.”AI is often framed as a force of radical transformation, either catapulting us into a utopian future or dragging us toward existential ruin. But this book tells a different story. It’s not about high-profile tech CEOs who want to use AI to “break shit,” but about a bunch of smart pragmatists using AI to make the world better.Josh Tyrangiel’s journey into AI began with a late-night YouTube video featuring General Gustave Perna, the retired four-star general who orchestrated the distribution of Covid vaccines during Operation Warp Speed. Perna’s success—and the end of the pandemic—depended on AI’s practical ability to synthesize and standardize vast amounts of logistical data. AI wasn’t the hero of the story—it was the tool that helped real people get things done.This book follows those people, who make up a kind of AI counterculture. It explores AI’s quiet revolution in government services, medicine, education, and human connection—places where it’s being used to amplify human judgment rather than replace it. It tells the stories of teachers, doctors, and bureaucrats who often stumbled into AI as a means to solve specific, tangible problems, often with no prior software expertise.While the loudest voices in AI debate doomsday scenarios and trillion-dollar market opportunities, this book focuses on those working in the messy, incremental, but deeply impactful space of AI practice. However, there is one big caveat—success is not guaranteed. Change is hard. Institutions move slowly. But even in failure there are lessons for everyone who’s interested in using AI—carefully, thoughtfully—to build a better world today.
Justice in Plato's Republic
In Book 4 of Plato's Republic, Socrates introduces what is regarded by scholars as the Platonic account of justice, according to which it is essentially internal and self-regarding, a matter of relations among the parts of a city or soul. In this book, Roslyn Weiss contends that there is another notion of justice, as other-regarding and external, which is to be found in a series of conversations in Book 1 between Socrates and three successive interlocutors. Weiss considers the relationship between justice as conceived in Book 1 and Book 4, and carefully examines what can be learned from each of the arguments. Her close analysis of Book 1 brings to light what Socrates really believed about justice, and extracts and explores this Book's many insights concerning justice—at both the political and the personal level.
