Unga leder vägen till klimaträttvisa! Efter en rad inflytelserika bästsäljare kommer Naomi Klein med sin första bok riktad till unga läsare, från 12 år och uppåt. Så förändrar vi allt! är en engagerande och inspirerande guide till den som vill förstå och bekämpa klimatförändringarna i vår tid. Stigande temperaturer, superstormar och utrotningshotade djurarter klimatförändringarna är verkliga och många av dess förödande följder är synliga redan i dag. Den goda nyheten är att det finns något vi alla kan göra åt saken. Naomi Klein skildrar hur Greta Thunberg och andra unga aktivister runtom i världen tar kampen mot fossilbolag och politiker, för en rättvis framtid. Boken ger läsaren en verktygslåda för förändring, från att påverka skolan till konst, konsumentmakt och olika sätt att demonstrera.En No Logo för nästa generation!"Här får de unga läsarna en grundlig och spännande genomgång av hur vi hamnat där vi hamnat, vilka faktorer har drivit på klimatkrisen och varför ingen har dragit i nödbromsen för länge sedan. (...) Språket passar de unga läsarna bra, det är konkret men ändå faktaspäckat och läsaren uppmanas till att ta ställning och agera. 292 sidor kan avskräcka de ovana läsarna, men boken är ändå lätt att plöja igenom och ämnet är rykande färskt." BTJ, Camilla Appelgren"Men en av styrkorna i Kleins och Stefoffs bok är att den inte bara talar om desperata hot mot själva livet, utan om att rädda det som är vackert och underbart på jorden. (...) Tilltalet är stundtals outhärdligt i sin upproriska hoppfullhet. Men "Så förändrar vi allt!" är inte litteratur, det är en ren aktivisthandbok och en form av uppvigling - och som sådan är den bland det mest livsbejakande och uppfordrande jag kommit i kontakt med på mycket länge" Dagens Nyheter, Kristina Lindquist

Between the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, nearly forty million people immigrated to the United States. Poverty, widespread famine, and the California gold rush prompted many people to leave their home countries for America. Over time, however, the government tried to slow the flow of immigration with laws like the Johnson-Reed Act in 1924. Students will read accounts from immigrants about the decision to leave home, the journey to America, and life in the new world. Additionally, students will read about xenophobic responses to immigration from the descendants of colonists. Through primary sources, this book provides students with an in-depth understanding of immigration to the United States.

The latest in Triangle Square's For Young People series, this adaptation of Jill Jonnes's riveting history of the Eiffel Tower and the 1889 World's Fair in Paris is sure to capture the imagination of young readers. "will transport readers] back to a time as complex and crazy as our own."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune Weaving together the behind-the-scenes history of the Eiffel Tower with an account of the 1889 World's Fair in Paris for which the tower was built, Jonnes creates a vivid, lively pageant of people and cultures meeting--and competing. The book opens a window into a piece of the past that, in its passions and politics, feels timelessly modern: art, science, business, entertainment, gossip, royalty, and national pride mingle in an unforgettable portrait of a unique moment in history, when Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley became the toasts of Paris and Gustave Eiffel, builder of the tower, rose to the pinnacle of fame, only to suffer a tragic fall from grace. Above all, the 1889 World's Fair revolved around two nations, whose potent symbols were the twin poles of the fair. France, with its long history of sophistication and cultivation, and with a new republican government eager for the country to take its place at the forefront of the modern world, presented the Eiffel Tower--the world's tallest structure--as a symbol of national pride and engineering superiority. The United States, with its brash, can-do spirit, full of pride in its frontier and its ingenuity, presented the rollicking Wild West show of Buffalo Bill Cody and the marvelous new phonograph of Thomas Edison. Eiffel, Cody, Oakley, and Edison are just a few of the characters who populate Jonnes's dramatic history. There are also squabbling artists, a notorious newspaperman, and a generous sprinkling of royalty from around the world. Some of them emerged from the World's Fair of 1889 winners, some losers, but neither they nor any among the vast crowds who attended the fair ever forgot it. The drama, color, and personalities that made the adult book so fascinating and critically acclaimed, are all here in spades as adapted for middle grade and above by Rebecca Stefoff.
