Not Talking About You portrays racism as it occurs amongst young Canadians today. It explores the impact on the target and on bystanders who have to decide how to react when they find a racist youth in their midst. Kevin HeronJones has written this book to reflect his and other young Black people’s experiences with racism in school. He sees an urgent need to talk about how young people exhibit racist behaviour, to portray it honestly, and to explore how young people can confront it and speak out. Part of a well-off middle-class family living in suburban Toronto, Khalil moves for grade eight to a school that does not have many racialized students. He is befriended by school sports star Cameron, who convinces Khalil to play basketball. Khalil is uncomfortable with his friend’s racist statements and behaviour, despite Cameron’s professed admiration for Black culture. As his discomfort grows, Khalil is left with a choice: accept this as “reality” or take a stand for what’s right, even if it costs him friendships. Not talking About You portrays racism as it occurs amongst young Canadians today. It explores the impact on the target and on bystanders who have to decide how to react when they find a racist youth in their midst.

Thirteen-year-old Nigel is teased and belittled at home because of his weight, so an opposing player’s trash talk enrages him and he vows revenge.

Hacking Heartbreak

By: Kevin Heronjones

Baron is a teen with a huge talent for computers--who occasionally indulges in hacking. When the girl of his dreams starts showing an interest in him, Baron falls fast and hard. Keyanna sees their dates as more casual than the love-struck Baron feels, but everything seems to be going well. After he finds out she went on a date with someone else, Baron feels betrayed and, against his better judgment, hacks into her school and social media accounts to get her in trouble. When the serious nature of what he's done becomes apparent, he realizes regret will never be enough. With Keyanna about to be suspended thanks to his hack, Baron races against the clock to fix his mess and prove he can be a better person. Kevin heronJones's latest is another realistic, authentic depiction of the life of a Black youth in Canada. Set in Scarborough, Hacking Heartbreak is a story about the intensity of first love and learning to live with the consequences of your actions.
