What's new on the shelf?
The strange and deadly city of Lossy Indica has arrived at the IRC!
Munmun - Jessie Andrews
"In an alternate reality a lot like our world, every person's physical size is directly proportional to their wealth. The poorest of the poor are the size of rats, and billionaires are the size of skyscrapers.
Warner and his sister Prayer are destitute - and tiny. Their size is not just demeaning, but dangerous: day and night they face mortal dangers that bigger richer people don't even have to think about, from being mauled by cats to their house getting stepped on. There are no cars or phones built small enough for them, or schools or hospitals, for that matter - there's no point, when no one that little has any purchasing power, and when salaried doctors and teachers would never fit in buildings so small. Warner and Prayer know their only hope is to scale up, but how can two littlepoors survive in a world built against them?"
Munmun written by New York Times bestselling author Jessie Andrews is a wacky but moving story of two young people trying to survive in a world where the cruel realities of poverty take on strange but deadly consequences. Main protagonists Warner and Prayer take us on an imaginative and unique adventure through the literally uneven city of Lossy Indica, a place where the system is corrupt and the rich get richer (and bigger) and the poor get poorer (and smaller). Warner and Prayer are two great characters, brave and resourceful, determined to overcome the unfair realities of their world and the life they have been dealt.
Author Jessie Andrews through his novel Munmun has created a brilliant parody on the inequalities of wealth, shining a light on the terrible economic reality for many people. It is both hilarious and tragic, fast paced and filled with exciting heart pounding action. This is a unique world that all readers should have a chance to experience.
Many more great new novels have arrived. Please see the new book stand in the IRC for all the latest resources!
