1895. Le capitaine Alfred Dreyfus, officier juif dans le haut commandement de l'armée française, est prisonnier sur l'île du Diable, une prison construite spécifiquement pour lui. Il a été condamné et renvoyé de l'armée française pour trahison envers son pays. C'est en tout cas ce que certains prétendent, alors que d'autres le qualifient de véritable patriote, victime d'une campagne antisémite. Qui a raison, qui a tort ? Un homme, l'écrivain Émile Zola, alors au sommet de sa gloire, se plonge dans l'affaire. Convaincu qu'il s'agit d'une grave erreur judiciaire, et au risque de perdre sa réputation et sa vie, Émile Zola ira au bout de ses convictions pour que justice soit faite.

Did you know that You can't keep a goldfish in a round goldfish bowl in Rome? That you can't take a selfie while running with the bulls in Pamplona? That you can't climb a tree in a Toronto city park? This book is a look at some of the more curious rules and laws that have been created around the world over many years. Some of these rules and laws may make us laugh. Some may make us angry or frightened for the people they influence. All of these rules and laws will make us think. How did they come to be? How can they be changed? With numerous sidebars presenting historical information, quizzes after each of the four sections, and ideas throughout for discussion and response activities, this is an active, well-researched illustrated book that shines a bright light on our world and its human workings. The book unfolds in four sections, outlining "People Problems" (everyday life; family; animals; food; fashion), "Sports Zone" (soccer; baseball; hockey; basketball; more sports), "Entertainment" (books and media; television and film; music and dance; technology), and "Kid Concerns" (school; toys; outdoor fun). This new book from acclaimed author Heather Camlot might just be the start of a young reader's passion for governance and social justice.

Twelve-year-old Liam finds a dead body along the shore at his grandfather's cottage. He can't erase what he's seen and can't focus on anything else, not even the upcoming opportunity of a lifetime to try out for an elite soccer team. Liam believes there is more to the girl's story than her "accidental death" and decides to investigate. When Liam visits his grandfather, living in palliative care, things go from bad to worse. As they watch Germany's 2014 World Cup soccer games together, his grandfather, a German World War II veteran, reveals stories about his past - stories a Jewish Canadian kid doesn't want to hear. Angry and overwhelmed, Liam is swept up in a history that may just help him solve the girl's death - and make sense of his own world again.

It's 1946. A poor Jewish neighbourhood in Montreal where a few dollars equal a fortune, and no matter where you go, you'll find the best home cooking anywhere on earth. It's also a million miles away from the posh mansions on the other side of town. But a 12-year-old boy can hope. Just across town something incredible is happening. Jackie Robinson is playing for the Montreal Royals. And he's going to change the world. If Jackie can do it, then so too can a poor Jewish kid from The Plateau.
