Quirk Books Girls Resist!: A Guide to Activism, Leadership,

In this age of political Teen Vogue editorials and teen actors frankly discussing topics like feminism and white privilege, young women are more engaged, excited, and fired up than ever--but they also need guidance. Chapters will cover standard topics like picking a cause, fundraising, networking, and protesting, but devote plenty of space to teen-specific topics and how-tos like having tough talks with unsupportive family members, lobbying and campaigning for representatives when you're too young to vote, and best practices for being effective (and safe!) while raising awareness on social media. Plus, the fresh design will make this as much a self-purchase as a gift, fitting perfectly between magazines and YA novels on a teen girl's shelf.Trade ReviewSelected for the 2019 Amelia Bloomer listNamed one of the Wall Street Journal's picks for teen activism.“If I had a time machine, I would go back in time and give myself this book.”—Jenn Northington, Book Riot “A must read for every teen activist.”—Common Sense Media “An inspiring and practical handbook for meaningful resistance...This pertinent and bold guide—featuring Sagramola’s warm illustrations rendered in blue and orange tones—is likely to become a go-to resource for young activists.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review “Immensely valuable.”—School Library Journal, Starred Review“[An] essential guide to teen girl activism.”—Autostraddle“Rich shares a wealth of expertise that inspires as much as it teaches.”—Observer “Incredibly detailed and extensive but fun and easy to read...This is a superb book for strong, bold young ladies who want to make a difference in the world.”—Creators Syndicate“This is a book for girls who have the fire and determination to start...a revolution, no matter how small or big it may be.”—Fangirlish “Practical, highly detailed...A must-read for every teen activist.”—Red Tricycle “Rousing and truthful…Rich is real with readers in a way that’s refreshing…A smart tool to fight inequity.”—Booklist

HarperCollins Focus The Illustrated Compendium of Weirdly Specific
Book SynopsisThe Illustrated Compendium of Weirdly Specific Words is an illustrated dictionary of the 300+ most specific words in the English language, along with their definitions, roots, and (hilarious) usage quotes!Have you ever been lying in your bed, surrounded by crumbs and wrappers, feasting on your fifth pop tart and thought, I wish there was a word for this? Well, there is! Accubationis - the practice of eating and drinking while lying down. The English language is populated by many words that have a regular place in everyday conversation, and The Illustrated Compendium of Weirdly Specific Words celebrates these words by featuring definitions, origins and usage, and coupling illustrations. Words include: Badling (noun) - a group of ducks. Crapulence (noun) - sickness resulting from eating too much. Guddle (verb) - fishing only with your hands. Kaiju (noun) - A film genre characterized by giant, terrifying monsters. Slugabed (noun) - A lazy person who stays in bed late. Wegotism (noun) - The excessive use of the word ‘we'. With more than 300 insanely specific words, you'd think that you would know a few of them, right? Well, think again! We're willing to wager that you don't know a single one of these words! Unless, of course, you have a special interest in the smell of horse urine (the word for that particular odor is jumentuous). The Illustrated Compendium of Weirdly Specific Words not only captures these words through equally specific illustrations, it also tells you what they mean! And like so many great reference books before it, it is organized in alphabetical order, from aglet to zopissa.Readers will close this book a little bit smarter than they were when they picked it up!
