Avenue of champions / by Kerr, Conor,author.;
Avenue of Champions is a collection of interlinked stories that investigates the inherent connection of Indigenous peoples to the land and the permanence of culture, language and ceremony as a form of resistance to displacement. Based on Papaschase and Métis oral histories and lived experience, these stories set in Edmonton examine the relationship of Indigenous youth with urban constructs and colonial spaces -- from violence and racism to language revitalization and triumph. The central themes are focused on lateral violence, intergenerational trauma, systemic racism, academic relationships with elders and knowledge keepers, whitewashing, language revitalization and restaking land claims on traditional territories.

Fly / by Hughes, Alison,1966-;
Felix Landon Yarrow (Fly) is a 14-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who has a rich inner life and a witty, sometimes sarcastic, inner voice. Obsessed with the noble, chivalrous ideals of knighthood, he sets out into the wilderness (high school) on his steed (a mechanized wheelchair) to protect and save his lady love, Daria, from the nefarious villain (Carter, a pill-dealing cool kid). With the help of a trusty, loyal sidekick (his aide, Levi) and a computer, Fly constructs an elaborate trap, setting in motion events he thinks he can control -- but as they say, even the best laid plans can go awry.LSC

Milk street simple / by Kimball, Christopher,author.; Bernstein, Erik,photographer (expression); Hirsch, J. M.,editor.; Locke, Michelle,editor.; Yanagihara, Dawn,editor.;
Simple doesn't always mean easy. Rather, simple is something so perfectly constructed that every component is essential and in balance. The best recipes are, in fact, simple, whether it is a shaved carrot salad, pasta with caramelized onions and pecorino, upside-down pizza, or a pan-roasted pork tenderloin. Milk Street has spent years learning from cooks all around the world and applying those lessons to weeknight cooking here at home. 'Milk Street Simple' takes the best of those great culinary ideas and pares them back to their most basic, essential elements. The result is a set of 200 recipes that are genius in their simplicity.

Ordinary notes / by Sharpe, Christina Elizabeth,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.A singular achievement, Ordinary Notes explores with immense care profound questions about loss, and the shapes of Black life that emerge in the wake. In a series of 248 brief and urgent notes that gather meaning as we read them, Christina Sharpe skillfully weaves artifacts from the past--public ones alongside others that are poignantly personal--with present-day realities and possible futures, intricately constructing an immersive portrait of everyday Black existence. Through the striking images and words in these pages, themes and tones echo: sometimes about life, art, language, beauty, memory; sometimes about history, photography, and literature--but always attending, with exquisite care, to the ordinary-extraordinary dimensions of Black life.
