Achieving Social Change
CRABTREE PUBLISHING
This series tells the stories of important social reforms brought about in history by
activism, and which are still of concern today. Each book takes a revealing new approach
to social activism, seen from the perspective of those inside the campaigns and describing
the changing tactics used to achieve change at different times. Stories of key movements
and change-makers will motivate readers to think about the achievements of activists
from the past and consider how they can be applied to activism today.

Don’t Stand so Close to Me
ORCA BOOK PUBLISHERS
Thirteen-year-old Quinn and her friends can’t believe their luck when spring break is
extended an extra two weeks-even if it’s because of some virus. But when the impact of
the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic becomes apparent, everyone, not just the students,
has to learn to adjust to their new reality. Quinn’s father is an ER doctor and has to self-
isolate to protect his family from the virus. Isaac’s mother is the chief of police and now
has to enforce new physical-distancing bylaws. Reese can’t visit her grandmother in her
care home anymore. And their entire school has moved to online classes. Sacrifices have
to be made to keep everyone safe, but there’s more to life than rules and scary news
reports. In an effort to find some good in all this uncertainty, Quinn comes up with an idea
that she hopes will bring the entire community together.
