Reviews

A life story that genuinely entrances

—— Los Angeles Times

Personal integrity shines through every page

'Journalist and LGBTQ+ activist George M Johnson's memoir is a moving and brilliant exploration of Black queerness'

—— Stylist

Dodger’s Guide to London would be a delightful introduction for young readers with an interest in history, as Dodger would be an ideal first step into Pratchett’s world. For long time fans and older readers, this is a gorgeous addition to an already fantastic collection.

—— Geek Planet

As a feminist who loves pink, I give this brilliant book of essays an enthusiastic "YES"!

—— Mindy Kaling (on FEMINISTS DON'T WEAR PINK)

Wonderfully candid, often funny and absolutely necessary, a triumphant rallying call to young women

—— Observer

Pick it up and read one story from your favourite columnist or actress, but I guarantee you'll end up reading the full, illuminating collection, and you'll possibly finish it knowing more about your own personal stance than you imagined

—— Glamour

This collection of essays curated by writer Scarlett Curtis is a call-to-arm that allows us to unpick what it means to be a feminist in a safe space

—— Stylist

We advise placing a copy in the hands of every girl (and guy) you know

—— Red Magazine

Sapiens is an epic history of humankind, at once readable and wise and compelling and thought-provoking... A breath of fresh air.
