Sinopsis

Mr. Blettsworthy on Rampole Island is a novel by H. G. Wells. The book tells the story of Arnold Blettsworthy, a well-to-do but naive young man from an affluent family. The story begins with Blettsworthy's sheltered upbringing and education, which leaves him ill-prepared for the realities of the world. His naivety and lack of worldly experience lead him into various misadventures. After a failed romance and a breakdown, he embarks on a sea voyage to recover, which ends in disaster when his ship is wrecked. Blettsworthy finds himself stranded on Rampole Island, a fictional South Pacific island. The island is inhabited by a society that parodies various aspects of Western culture and politics. Blettsworthy observes and interacts with the islanders, gaining insights into human nature and society's follies and vices.

    The heartwarming and hilarious part-memoir, part-guide from comedian and father-of-six Ashley Blaker, on parenting, adoption and raising children with special needs. 
    ‘A funny, irreverent and loving book’ Daily Express 
    ‘We had such a variety of experts visiting our home, we really needed a revolving door. All these professionals would watch our son playing while shaking their heads and making tutting sounds, like builders considering a bad job you wanted them to fix. “Tut tut tut. No speech, disordered social skills, sensory issues. This is going to cost you!!”’ 
    Ashley Blaker has six children, three of whom have an SEN diagnosis. Between endless meetings, countless therapists, public humiliations, failed playdates, surreal monologues and occasional violence, it’s certainly not what anyone would call a ‘normal’ household – but would he want it any other way? 
    Normal Schmormal is part-memoir, part how-to guide, highlighting the many challenges, as well as the hugely rewarding elements, of parenting children with additional needs. Written with humour, compassion and a lot of love, it’s a must-read for parents, carers and teachers of children with SEN, either looking for a bit of support or in need of a very big laugh. 
    In Normal Schmormal, Ashley Blaker, a father and comedian, takes us on a humorous and heartwarming journey through the challenges and rewards of raising children with special needs. This latest autobiography is a must-read for parents, carers, and teachers alike, offering a unique perspective on fatherhood, family, and fostering relationships with children with disabilities. 
    For fans of Eliza Fricker (Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person), Dr. Naomi Fisher (The Teenager's Guide to Burnout), Ellie Middleton (How to be You), Lisa C. Qualls (Faith, Hope, & Connection), and Catherine L. Abbott (Mindful Parenting for Autistic Children).

    The Unindexed Mind A Masochist's...

    The Unindexed Mind: A Masochist's Reflection isn't a self-help book, a memoir, or a manifesto—it's a philosophical junk drawer spilled across the floor. In it, Tory Handcock questions everything from belief systems and artificial meaning to morality, chaos, authority, and the illusion of progress. The voice is raw, self-aware, often sarcastic, and deeply introspective. 
    Part poetic rant, part philosophical street fight, this book isn't here to sell clarity. It's here to wrestle with it, mock it, and maybe find a strange kind of peace in the mess. From pondering why chaos came before all things to building metaphysical Lego castles out of existential puke, the writing embraces contradiction, humor, and brutal honesty. 
    If you've ever stared into the void and laughed—or wanted to—this is your invitation to join in. Just don't expect straight lines. That's not how this mind works.

    Witty, tender and daring essays from the British David Sedaris 
    'A lovely writer: supple, stylish and almost effortlessly witty.' Daily Mail 
    'Made me laugh out loud and then properly cry.’ Jennie Godfrey 
    When it comes to the challenge of being a man, Adam Farrer always seems to find a way to fall short… 
    Broken Biscuits vividly recounts Adam’s struggles to live up to masculine expectations, real or imagined. From the calamity of his first serious relationship to an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, and from the repercussions of his adult circumcision to his doubts about his ability to survive the apocalypse, this candid and personal collection of essays is astonishingly far-reaching and riotously funny. 
    Holding up a mirror to Adam’s own body image, his relationship with his family, his sense of self-worth and the mortifying experience of arriving at a teenage party wearing strawberry-patterned short shorts, this book is about growing up and trying to define yourself as a man but somehow always missing the mark. 
    In this humorous autobiography, Adam Farrer presents a social study of his own life, filled with memoirs of his struggles with gender expectations. Broken Biscuits is a top pick for those seeking a candid, non-fiction exploration of masculinity. 
    For fans of Gary Stevenson (The Trading Game), Terrance Hayes (To Float in the Space Between), Melvyn Bragg (Back in the Day), Jessica Andrews (Saltwater), and Amy Key (Arrangements in Blue).
