Book excerpt: Wonder Girls: Changing Our World is the first photographic book to document groups of activist girls (age 10 to 18) globally. It’s award winning and inspiring! Paola Gianturco and her eleven-year-old granddaughter documented the work of fifteen girl-led nonprofit groups in thirteen countries in Asia and Central Asia, North and Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Oceania. They interviewed and photographed 102 girls. If you think "girls are the future," prepare to be dazzled. These girls are changing our world right now. Groups of activist girls age 10-18 are transforming our world: improving education, health, equality and the environment; stopping child marriage, domestic violence, trafficking and war. Their imagination and courage radiate through their stories, all told in their own words. In this book, you will watch girls lobby U.S. senators; see Mexican girls invent mobile phone apps to solve social problems; meet Malawian girls who convinced Parliament to outlaw child marriage. You will eavesdrop on Ugandan girls as they advocate for girls' rights at a UN meeting. And you will meet other girls as they write blogs, petitions, poetry, create radio shows, videos, invent dances, songs and works of art to promote their causes. Wonder Girls: Changing Our World is a call to action to help these girls accomplish their important work. Alex Sangster's sections, the finale of each chapter, tell you how. The book's Foreword was written by Musimbi Kanyoro, President and CEO of the Global Fund for Women, the world's largest grant- making organization that benefits women and girls internationally. The Global Fund for Women will receive 100% of the authors' royalties from this book.

Book excerpt: An enchanting and uplifting tale of love, friendship and the wondrousness of women, for wonder girls of all ages 'Don't follow the crowd,' she'd be telling schoolgirls at the swimming baths. 'Follow your own star and when you have achieved your goal you will have that with you for the rest of your life...' In 1928, a plucky young Welsh girl named Ida Gaze swims the Bristol Channel with the help of her best friend Freda and the inspiration of her heroine Amelia Earhart. In 1937, on the instructions of the matron, a young skivvy at a grand maternity hospital in London smuggles out an orphaned baby on one of the coldest nights of the year. Now, in a small town in Wales, an old lady named Ceci pieces together these stories and is about to discover the surprising ways in which they link to her own. It begins with two girls in the twenties who left their small Welsh village for the Big Smoke, feeling that the world was changing and everything was possible… 'An imaginative tour de force, moving and well-written and the characters are superb' Daily Mail 'Sparkling ... deceptively light … Jones's warmth and deft characterisation shine out' Guardian 'An impressive debut' Bookseller

Book excerpt: Unlikely friends, despicable villains, and deadly peril – can a renegade gang stop the Blackshirts sending orphans to Hitler? The Wonder Girls is a kick-ass historical adventure with kindness, inclusion and hope at its heart. ENGLAND 1936: The Blackshirts are marching and Londoners are on the streets resisting them. In the chaos, a terrified, golden-haired girl pulls street-thief Baby from certain death. But Blackshirts overpower them and seize the girl. Baby tracks the Blackshirts to the coast where she finds a railway carriage hidden in brambles, a gang of renegade girls and thirteen-year-old Ida, trying to protect her golden-haired little sister ... The Wonder Girls is a fast-paced, full-hearted, total romp of an adventure ... The story starts with Baby being saved from the crush of a Blackshirts’ march by a golden-haired angel of a girl, who promptly gets kidnapped by sinister grown-ups in a fancy car. Baby, fiercely loyal and warm-hearted, determines to save her Goldilocks girl; she and Fingers set off from London to the south coast town of Nettlefield, in hot pursuit of Baby’s saviour. Meanwhile, Ida is trying to come to terms with the fact her Mum is soon to die, while also worried sick about losing her little sister Bonnie to the terrifying and mysterious Nettlefield Grange Orphanage, run by Mrs Bullar. Alone, neither Baby nor Ida are equipped to deal with the reality of what’s going on in the orphanage. Together with the help of a cast of marvellously colourful characters, they might just stand a chance... Any child who loves stories of adventure, chutzpah and heart will rattle through this book and be desperate for more. In short, The Wonder Girls is a real winner of a book." Georgina Lippiet, in-common.co.uk ‘This story is full of heart racing moments, incredible bravery and girl power in the face of fascism... I was gripped from the first chapter and my heart was pounding, not daring to turn the page at some points but always feeling that I wanted more. It is a fabulous story and I have high hopes for it in this golden age of Children’s fiction. Erin Lyn Hamilton, myshelvesarefull.wordpress.com ‘an engaging and dramatic read which is crying out to be adapted for children’s TV’ Julie Ballard on Goodreads ‘I read an early draft of this & was BLOWN AWAY! Can’t wait to read the full story!’ Emma Carroll on Twitter ‘Glorious and life-affirming: girl power 1930s-style. These girls will wriggle their way into your heart.’ Sue Wallman, author, Egmont The Wonder Girls is a delightful adrenaline filled adventure that shines a light on a very dark aspect of British history whilst bringing a good dose of fun with its eccentric cast, yet not shying away from difficult themes. In The book J.M. Carr expertly balances the emotional personal stories of the individual characters and peril whilst maintaining a historical setting that is so real it is almost tangible. Sally Poyton, Space on the Bookshelf.blogspot.com ... it is the focus on family, friendship and loyalty that makes a lasting impression. Throughout the interwoven story lines of Baby, Fingers and and Sophie at the start and following Ida Barnes next, the whole tale is fundamentally warmhearted. There is peril, and girl power, and fascist louts – but the core is both humane and full of hope. K.M Lockwood, kmlockwood.com/writersreviews

Book excerpt: A cast of thousands, despicable villains and an unexpected reunion with disastrous consequences! ENGLAND 1937: 4000 child refugees from The Spanish Civil War are due to arrive at Southampton Docks . . . Sixteen-year-old aspiring doctor, Letitia, is determined to help with the rescue effort. Most of the children are taken to a camp, north of the town but some under the 'care' of a teacher called Easton Fitzgerald are billeted at Nettlefield Grange Orphanage. Baby is sure the Blackshirts are putting kids in peril again – have they jumped from the frying pan into the fire?Baby and the other Wonder Girls must work out what the fascists are really up to, and to prevent a Nazi invasion, persuade Letitia to value what she's actually good at. “This sequel is astounding! I read The Wonder Girls in 2019 and was floored by the plots and the characters. A diverse group of girls find family together within Nettleford(?) Orphanage. All from different backgrounds and experiences, these girls come together to fight a common enemy, Hitler’s Blackshirts. The town seems to be crawling with these Hitler supporters and though The Wonder Girls got rid of a few, The Wonder Girls Resist will see a new plot unfold and familiar trusted friends be doubted. New characters are introduced and quickly become part of the gang, foiling small parts of a larger plan. Each chapter enlightens the reader to the plots unfolding and the plans being created, highlighting the bravery of each young child, whether a refugee or orphan. They all gather together and work for the greater good. The characters are wonderfully written, especially the courage of each girl. They learn about their own capabilities and skills, while helping each other out of dangerous and plot thickening situations! I really like JM Carr’s style of writing and feel that she has created a fast paced adventure, with plenty of twists, turns and turncoats to keep the reader guessing. I like the perspective of this book on WWII and the role that ordinary citizens played when faced with a Hitler supporter in their own community. Often books set during the wars focus on the Blitz, the resistance movement or Holocaust. This small community is rocked in a different way and I feel that many readers will experience this new perspective and it will raise some questions about Blackshirts and their role.” Erin Lyn Hamilton, myshelvesarefull.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tough girls are everywhere these days. Whether it is Ripley battling a swarm of monsters in the Aliens trilogy or Captain Janeway piloting the starship Voyager through space in the continuing Star Trek saga, women strong in both body and mind have become increasingly popular in the films, television series, advertisements, and comic books of recent decades. In Tough Girls, Sherrie A. Inness explores the changing representations of women in all forms of popular media and what those representations suggest about shifting social mores. She begins her examination of tough women in American popular culture with three popular television shows of the 1960s and '70s—The Avengers, Charlie's Angels, and The Bionic Woman—and continues through such contemporary pieces as a recent ad for Calvin Klein jeans and current television series such as The X-files and Xena: Warrior Princess. Although all these portrayals show women who can take care of themselves in ways that have historically been seen as uniquely male, they also variously undercut women's toughness. She argues that even some of the strongest depictions of women have perpetuated women's subordinate status, using toughness in complicated ways to break or bend gender stereotypes while simultaneously affirming them.
