Danger of health misinformation online, long a concern of medical and public health professionals, has come to the forefront of societal concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Infinite Powers of Adam Gowers
Adam Gowers has problems. He is desperately in love with a girl who doesn’t fancy him in the slightest; he’s gone and got himself booked in for a fight with the hardest kid in the school; he’s worried about failing all his GCSEs; his parents can barely stand the sight of each other. And then one day he is granted an infinite number of wishes by a genie who conveniently pops out of a lamp. Infinite! An infinite number of wishes! Effectively he has become a god. Except that he doesn’t really have the skill-set to go with the god-like powers... The Infinite Powers of Adam Gowers is as funny as The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole; as full of ideas as The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy; and as sweet and easy to read as Nick Hornby’s Slam. These days, all YA novels are ‘edgy’. Either they’re bleak slabs of social realism or dystopian visions of the future. The Infinite Powers of Adam Gowers is that rare thing: a teenage novel that makes you laugh rather than wince.

Zijn vriendin heeft hem verlaten en zijn broer is verdwenen. Hij heeft niets te verliezen en laat zich tot Death verleiden. Met nog maar zeven dagen te leven, besluit Adam alles te doen wat God verboden heeft. Maar dan blijkt dat het leven hem meer waard is dan hij dacht... 'Burgess, meester van de young adult-literatuur, heeft een roman geschreven waar je witte knokkels van de spanning van krijgt, met een ambitieuze filosofische onderlaag. Een echte winnaar.' Booklist Melvin Burgess werd in één keer wereldberoemd met zijn geruchtmakende boek Junkies, waarvoor hij de Carnegie Medal won, de Britse prijs voor het beste jeugdboek. Met het onverschrokken en razendspannende Hype laat hij zien dat hij nog steeds een meester is in het schrijven van young adult-romans.

The Dressing Gown
A teenager and an older man, a drag queen and her trick, a dominant leatherman and a drugged masochist - what do they have in common?
