Summer escapism is the name of the game in August, and the books out this month are sure to transport you to a different world.
This month’s novels include books that reckon with politics and technology through fictional futures, and a new adult sequel from Jacqueline Wilson as she revisits another of her beloved children’s classics. Crime fans are also in for a treat, with everything from whodunnits to heist and serial killer thrillers.
In non-fiction, meanwhile, you’ll find books that examine everything from language, to how to make your mind and body stronger, to modern warfare.
