{"id":5090403123332,"title":"Dreams Beyond the Shore BY Tamika Gibson","handle":"dreams-beyond-the-shore-by-tamika-gibson","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeventeen-year-old Chelsea Marchand was pretty satisfied with her life. Until recently. Willing to play the dutiful daughter as her father’s bid to become Prime Minister of their island home brings her family into intense public scrutiny, Chelsea is swept along by the strong tidal wave of politics and becomes increasingly disturbed by her father’s duplicity. She finds a reprieve when she meets Kyron, a kindred spirit encased in low riding blue jeans. The two share a bond as he too struggles to get beyond his father’s shadow. But when Chelsea discovers an even darker more sinister side to her father’s world, a discovery that makes her question the man he is and the woman she wants to be, she must decide how much of her own dreams she is willing to compromise to make her father’s come true. But can she find the strength to stand up to her father and chart her own journey? Tamika Gibson serves up a fascinating and stirring debut novel about growing up and accepting who you are, regardless of who your parents may be. Buoyed by the rhythms, heat and lyrical lilt of contemporary Trinidad and Tobago, Dreams Beyond the Shore is a heartwarming story declaring that decisions matter far more than destiny.

{"id":5090433761412,"title":"The Beast of Kukuyo BY Kevin Jared Hosein","handle":"the-beast-of-kukuyo-by-kevin-jared-hosein","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Beast of Kukuyo is a gripping mystery told through the eyes of 15-year-old Rune Mathura and set in the 1990s. The gritty tale begins with the disappearance of Dumplin Heera, a fifteen year-old East Indian girl in the quiet rural village of Kukuyo. The murder happens while the town is plunged in darkness and the story unveils a deeper moral darkness festering beneath the surface. In part driven by her keen interest in crime fiction, particularly Murder She Wrote Rune decides that she has seen too much tragedy without redress. Having lost her mother in a senseless act of violence, Rune is unable to sit still when her classmate, Dumpling Heera, is found dead in their village. Rune, an incredibly resourceful young woman, sees this as her chance to make a difference and dives headfirst into a swirling mess of secrets buried in the heart of her village. She bucks against the ease with which villagers try to get back to normal and get over the atrocity. But this is no Nancy Drew novle. Rune soon learns that despite her best intentions her eagerness to right this wrong leaves her almost blind to the truth, and the nuances that colour justice.The Beast of Kukuyo earned second place in the 2017 Burt Award for Caribbean Young Adult Literature. The novel also delves into issues of race, class and gender.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-10-20T15:53:54-04:00","created_at":"2020-10-20T15:53:54-04:00","vendor":"Code Burt Award","type":"General Reading - Teens \u0026 Young Adult","tags":["generalreading","teensyoungadult"],"price":12000,"price_min":12000,"price_max":12000,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":12000,"compare_at_price_min":12000,"compare_at_price_max":12000,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":34329826263172,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"210000006210","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"The Beast of Kukuyo BY Kevin Jared Hosein","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":12000,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":12000,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9789768267153","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.charrans.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/bb5b07379dcbf091c24763a34c23de10.jpg?v=1695306421"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.charrans.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/bb5b07379dcbf091c24763a34c23de10.jpg?v=1695306421","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":9071046754436,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.649,"height":650,"width":422,"src":"\/\/www.charrans.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/bb5b07379dcbf091c24763a34c23de10.jpg?v=1695306421"},"aspect_ratio":0.649,"height":650,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.charrans.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/bb5b07379dcbf091c24763a34c23de10.jpg?v=1695306421","width":422}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eThe Beast of Kukuyo is a gripping mystery told through the eyes of 15-year-old Rune Mathura and set in the 1990s.
