Book Description
Finalist for the 2020 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction | One of Time Magazines's 100 Must-Read Books of 2020 | Longlisted for the 2020 Porchlight Business Book Awards "An entertaining quest to trace the origins and implications of the names of the roads on which we reside." —Sarah Vowell, The New York Times Book Review When most people think about street addresses, if they think of them at all, it is in their capacity to ensure that the postman can deliver mail or a traveler won’t get lost. But street addresses were not invented to help you find your way; they were created to find you. In many parts of the world, your address can reveal your race and class. In this wide-ranging and remarkable book, Deirdre Mask looks at the fate of streets named after Martin Luther King Jr., the wayfinding means of ancient Romans, and how Nazis haunt the streets of modern Germany. The flipside of having an address is not having one, and we also see what that means for millions of people today, including those who live in the slums of Kolkata and on the streets of London. Filled with fascinating people and histories, The Address Book illuminates the complex and sometimes hidden stories behind street names and their power to name, to hide, to decide who counts, who doesn’t—and why.

Book Description
Inspired by the wit and wisdom of Terry Pratchett, this clockpunk coming-of-age adventure is sure to delight anyone who loved The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, Equal Rites, or the Tiffany Aching series. Almost nothing interesting ever happens in Deidre's little village, outside of the occasional traveling merchant or troupe of players visiting the marketplace. So it's no wonder that she spends her every free moment designing and building outlandish contraptions, and then relying on her semi-autonomous tongue to get her out of trouble--or dig her in deeper--when the device inevitably slimes Momma with something. Then that self-proclaimed were-chicken hunter rode in. His tall tales of shape-shifting chicken-beasts cock-a-doodling at the moon were good for a laugh until it looked like they were true. Will Deidre be able to catch the monster before suspicions, accusations and eight feet of giant chicken tear her homeland apart? Survivor of the Immerse or Die challenge: "Squawk of the Werechicken really was an easy book to fall for. It's very funny, with a trio of charming, precocious pre-teen protagonists, and a wry, thoroughly tongue-in-cheek tone. If you like humorous writing, buy Squawk of the Werechicken. If you like your kids, share it with them." --Bryce Anderson, author of The Improbable Rise of Singularity Girl
