by Christina Minaki
Lydia navigates ableism, activism, and romance in a touching coming-of-age story.
A compelling coming-of-age novel about disability, activism, and first love.
Lydia has had a passion for climate issues for as long as she can remember. After a fall at school, her well-meaning friends and family are against her getting out on the streets to protest, but Lydia is determined to challenge ableism, promote climate action, and make a statement, no matter the risks.
Love on Planet A explores friendship, first love, and fighting for change. With its authentic representation of disability, a strong-willed protagonist, and a socially conscious narrative, this novel is perfect for teen readers who are passionate about activism and making their voices heard. A must-have for libraries, schools, and bookstores looking to expand their selection of engaging, inclusive fiction.
