Acception. [graphic novel] / by Ouwerkwerk, Coco,author.;
For fans of high school comedy drama with quirky, lovable characters, this is a comic from debut author Colourbee about love, acceptance, and surviving high school (while keeping your secrets intact). It's the start of a new school year at Apollo High and Arcus just moved from England to the Netherlands. With his rainbow-colored hair and love of all things fashion, Arcus is anything but your average teenager. He's an upbeat independent thinker, proud fashionista, and like the rest of us, is looking for a few friends to call his own. This won't be easy for Arcus, because his best options for friends are prickly goth Maud and self-centered queen bee Iris. Plus, he has to navigate being bullied for his unique brand of self-expression while balancing school life and his secret identity as a super popular fashion designer and blogger. But leave it to the always-optimistic Arcus to find the silver (and glittery) lining in everything.

Dangerous memory : coming of age in the decade of greed / by Angus, Charlie,1962-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."The 1980s is remembered with nostalgia as a harmless decade of big hair, colourful clothes, and catchy pop songs. It was anything but. In Dangerous Memory, Charlie Angus undertakes a major rethink of the cultural and political shifts of an era that unleashed an unprecedented looting of the economy, the environment, and the common good that continue to haunt North Americans today. But the 1980s was also a time of resistance, creativity, and hope. In a world that stood on the brink of global annihilation, millions of ordinary people stepped up to save the planet and fight for human rights. As an idealistic eighteen-year-old, Charlie Angus quit school to play in a punk band and work with the homeless and refugees in Toronto's east end. Expertly weaving his story within the larger narrative of the times, Angus traces today's economic, environmental, and social problems to their roots in the 1980s. Planting the seeds of change, he challenges us to take action to confront widespread injustice and massive systemic inequity to create a better world"--
