Overview:
This two-book collection from David Baddiel brings together his sharp social commentary and imaginative storytelling in a powerful, thought-provoking pairing. Jews Don’t Count is a timely, provocative examination that challenges readers to consider how racism can operate in fewer-recognised forms, delivered with Baddiel’s signature blend of rigorous argument and warmth. It invites readers who think they stand on the “right side of history” to reflect on bias, society, and the invisible lines that divide us, all with accessible, conversational humor. Paired with Future Friend, a brisk, inventive tale set across time, the set offers a dynamic reading experience that blends critical thought with page-turning fiction. The combination is ideal for readers who relish intelligent essays and imaginative storytelling in equal measure, and for gift-givers seeking a bold, conversation-starting duo. This collection is perfect for adults exploring social issues, teens stepping into broader ideas about the future, and curious readers who want a satisfying, dual-genre experience from a single author.
What Makes This Collection Special:
What ties these two books together is David Baddiel’s knack for turning big ideas into approachable reads. Jews Don’t Count brings a rigorous, reasoned perspective on racism—challenging assumptions with personal experience and pointed wit—while Future Friend delivers a high-spirited, hopeful journey through time that tackles loneliness, friendship, and adaptation in a vividly imagined near-future. The pairing offers a rare balance: a nonfiction work that sharpens thinking and a speculative adventure that fuels imagination. For readers seeking value, this set provides two distinct reading experiences from one celebrated voice, making it an ideal binge-read or a thoughtful gift that keeps on giving as ideas ferment long after the final page is turned.
Books Included in This Collection:
Jews Don’t Count
Baddiel’s fearless, lucid argument invites readers to interrogate their own assumptions about racism and privilege. In a lively, accessible voice, he blends close reasoning with personal experience and humor to question how society defines “the fight for history.” This paperback? No—this is a call to action wrapped in engaging prose, designed to resonate with readers who want to understand the quiet, everyday forms of prejudice and how they shape lives. It’s the kind of book that sparks discussion, reassessment, and a deeper commitment to inclusive thinking.
Future Friend
A clever, uplifting science-fiction adventure that begins in a futuristic LivingSpace and careens into a real-world timeline crossover. Pip, living in 3020 with a talking cat and parrot and limited movement due to climate extremes, stumbles into a glowing ring and lands in 2019, where she meets Rahul, a lonely boy-inventor. Together they navigate the thrill of discovery and the challenge of returning home, all while managing the humorous chaos of caring for sentient animals and handling family dynamics. This brisk, character-driven tale blends friendship, curiosity, and resilience into a memorable journey that will appeal to readers who love inventive worlds and heartwarming partnerships.

Fans of thoughtful social commentary who enjoy accessible, well-crafted nonfiction paired with imaginative fiction. Ideal for adults and older teens seeking engaging discussions about racism, history, and modern society, as well as parents and teachers looking for thoughtful conversation starters.
