Meet Clementine Florentine - a talented poet with a strong passion
for Custard Creams! In an ingenious reverse 'Parent Trap',
Clementine and her school nemesis Callum, have to work together to
break Clem's dad and Callum's mum up, before they fall 'in
lurrrvee' and the two poetry rivals end up step brother and sister!
However, an unlikely friendship with ageing punk icon Lyn Ferno and
her chatty pet parrot Viv, helps Clem to start seeing things
differently. But by then, is it too late to undo the damage she's
caused? Imagine a female Tom Gates with a touch of a young Adrian
Mole and the warmth of Jacqueline Wilson, and you've got Clementine
Florentine rolled up in one.
Every two minutes, evil strips innocence from a child and sells her
into slavery for sex. Not in a third-world country, but in the
United States of America. Before you take another breath, the next
victim will be tricked or taken from her family by a profit-hungry
criminal.
She could be a neighbor. A friend.Your sister. Your daughter. You.
At fourteen, Hope Ellis is the all-American girl with a good
life--until the day she tries to help her mom with their cross-town
move by supervising the movers. When they finish, one of the men
returns to the house and rapes her. Held silent by his threats,
darkness begins to engulf her. But the rape proves to be the least
of Hope's troubles. In a gasping attempt at normalcy, she succumbs
to the attention of a smooth-talking man on the subway. He promises
acceptance. He declares his love. He lures her out from under the
shelter of her suburban life.
Hope's disappearance sets a community in motion. She's one of their
own. They determine to find Hope, whatever the cost, before she's
lost forever.

This title is suitable for ages 5 to 7 years. While other
children's religious titles focus on Saint Francis of Assisi as an
adult, few, if any, have concentrated on the early life of the
patron saint of animals and the environment. Stunning illustrations
punctuate this beautifully told story of Saint Francis as a boy as
he communes with nature and treats even the fiercest of animals - a
hungry wolf - with the same compassion he would show his
grandmother. In a fearless display of courage, tolerance, and
understanding, the young Francis makes peace with the wolf,
foreshadowing his teachings of harmony with the world around us and
man's duty to protect nature.
