★ "This is a well-told and highly informative read. Highly recommended for young adult graphic novel and nonfiction collections." - School Library Journal (STARRED review)Shortlisted for the 2024 Global Literature in Libraries Initiative PrizeThe patriarchy is falling. It's time to smash it. This graphic novel shows you how.Patriarchy means "the rule of the father" and describes a system where men are in control. At least since the time of Aristotle, loud-mouthed men have called women weak and inferior. In entertaining comic book form, Smash the Patriarchy shames the culprits and salutes more than 100 inspiring women--from Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Mary Wollstonecraft to Petra Herrera--who stood up to them.The book is not afraid to examine some of the worst crimes--public shaming, medical examinations, and the widespread murder and jailing of feminists around the world--as it calls on readers to finally smash the patriarchy forever. These men get embarrassed: Aristotle, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, Woody Allen and many more...These women are celebrated: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Emily Dickinson, Queen Christina of Sweden, Arundhati Roy, Amanda Gorman, and many more..."The work's upbeat tone keeps explanations of some devastating historical events from bogging down this vibrantly presented primer. " - Publishers Weekly"It has a giant vagina on a page and a naked Eve on another, and I am here for them! WOOHOO!!" - Fuse 8 Production, School Library Journal"The narrative style brings home the scale of the injustices done to women while still remaining optimistic and celebrating the fortitude of those who try to change society for the better. The book explains concepts like "the male gaze" with clear, illustrative examples, as of the ubiquity of strip club scenes in films. It challenges the use of the word "genius" as it has been applied to men throughout history. And it does all this while maintaining a sense of humor: at the end, the three "worst sexists" in history are named--with a long list of (dis)honorable mentions." - Foreword Reviews

I can see ghosts.Living with this "gift" means I don't relate to many people. My sister, Juan, does not understand me. My parents, Andrea and Ned, don't listen, and I don't have any friends. The only ones I can talk to are my Grandmother May and my dog, Amore. When I meet a tall, alluring boy named Dimitri, he is the kind of understanding friend I never thought I'd have, and I can confide in him. But Dimitri has secrets of his own. Though I try to live a normal life, I see something I should never have, and I swear to take this secret to my grave. Yet some secrets want out, no matter what. In a world where I don't belong, will I end up six feet underground?

Most definitely. When she finds herself lacking the right words, Lucy just settles for its name: Bean. As Bean's new human friend, Lucy's job is to tag along and keep the little creature out of trouble. Oh, and to solve the mystery of its past.

"Instructif, engagé et porteur d'espoir" - Marie "Un roman riche pour la planète" - L'arc en ciel "Une source d'inspiration" - Nellyann Pensant assister à une simple réunion de sensibilisation à l'écologie, Lucas, Amber et Adriana se voient proposer de participer à une expérience: ils ont un an pour atteindre par tous les moyens la neutralité carbone, et adopter un mode de vie respectueux de l'environnement. Déplacements, alimentation, consommation... C'est le départ d'une remise en question complète de leurs croyances, de leurs habitudes et de leurs comportements. Entre doutes et échecs, espoirs et réussites, ils vont très vite être confrontés à un enjeu bien plus grand que celui de relever ce défi: Changer de vie. Un portrait lucide et sans concession d'une société partagée entre son attachement viscéral à son mode de vie, et son désir de changer pour relever le défi climatique.

Une chronique dans le temps avec, comme fil rouge, une enfant apeurée suivant ses parents depuis la Grèce moribonde d'après-guerre jusqu'au Pays noir où son père travaille comme mineur de fond aux Charbonnages du Centre. Histoire, anecdotes drôles, crises économiques et grèves... servent de toile de fond au chemin chaotique parcouru par ces immigrés du siècle dernier. La petite Fébronie sert de fil rouge dans cette biographie présentée comme une chronique.Le récit commence avec la naissance de l'auteure et la description succincte du contexte historique de la Grèce: Indépendance et guerre gréco-turque, Première Guerre Mondiale, réfugiés de l'Asie Mineure, Seconde Guerre Mondiale, Occupation et famine, guerre civile et pauvreté ambiante. Nous suivons ainsi les parents de la narratrice au travers des vicissitudes de la vie et la décision finale du père d'immigrer vers la Belgique avec un contrat de mineur en poche. Il sera rejoint quelques mois plus tard par son épouse et ses deux enfants partis par bateau du Pirée. Nous retrouvons la famille dans les corons à Jumet, commune de Charleroi et surtout les Charbonnages du Centre, avec une description de l'immigration de l'époque, de la catastrophe du Bois du Cazier, du puits de Saint-Quentin et du travail du mineur.La vie au Pays Noir est truffée d'anecdotes tristes, drôles ou savoureuses, l'Eglise orthodoxe, les cultures et les loisirs trouvent une belle place à ce moment du récit. C'est également l'occasion de parler des fêtes patronales de Sainte Barbe et de la marche de la Madeleine, des vieux cinémas, de l'aérodrome de Gosselies, des berges du canal.Début des années 1960, elle nous raconte la naissance du petit frère, qui ne sera pas comme les autres enfants, les grandes grèves contre la Loi Unique sur fond de mariage royal et la politique de fédération de la Belgique qui a été générée par la suite.Enfin, l'histoire du verre dans la région de Charleroi sera également évoquée avec ses années de gloire et sa mort annoncée comme celle des charbonnages.Le départ vers Bruxelles en 1962 est un pas vers le tome 2.

¡El imperio de los cielos se pudre! Más allá de bellos cuentos, historias antiguas y poemas épicos, la realidad en el cielo solo puede parir desesperanza, miedo e hipocresía para sus habitantes de más baja categoría. ¡Cuán dura y repulsiva debe ser la vida en este indeseable mundo para una jovencita como Grace! Convertida en huérfana tras la ejecución de sus padres por órdenes del creador, y poseedora de un espíritu imbatible, fue maldecida desde el momento de su nacimiento al cargar con el doloroso estigma de una terrible profecía... que la arrojó a las garras de la miseria y que convirtió cada uno de sus días, y sus noches, en un verdadero infierno.Cuando finalmente Grace consigue labrarse, junto con Amy (una huérfana con un pasado misterioso) y Kouhen (un guerrero rebelde de una antigua estirpe), una familia en la cual pudiera experimentar la felicidad, el destino interviene para destruir sus sueños, pues luego de sortear con éxito diversos obstáculos, Kouhen es sentenciado a vivir como un ser humano de carne y hueso en el planeta tierra.Ahora, Grace y Amy deberán hallar la forma de romper las barreras que su sociedad impuso sobre ellas y, al mismo tiempo, se darán a la casi imposible tarea de rescatar a Kouhen al traerlo de vuelta al cielo, luchando en el proceso contra una corrupta élite que hará todo cuanto esté en su poder para impedirlo.
