children's author, Victoria Williamson. On a remote Scottish
island, fourteen-year-old Max's life changes forever when he loses
his hearing in a boating accident. Struggling to make sense of his
new life and finding it hard to adapt in school, he begins to
notice other - even stranger - changes taking place when a new wind
farm appears off the island's coast. With the help of three school
friends with additional support needs, Max discovers that a
sinister scientist, Doctor Ashwood, is using wind turbines to
experiment on the islanders. They must find a way to shut down the
government's secret test before it spins out of control...
You have the power to protect yourself and others! What does it
mean to be safe? Does it mean beating a throw to home plate? Does
it mean never taking risks? No! Being safe is about feeling secure,
feeling protected and being responsive-no matter the environment or
situation. You can be safe in so many simple ways. From being aware
of your limits to creating healthy boundaries. By not giving in to
peer pressure and by standing up to bullies. And by being safe on
the Internet, or knowing the right time to get a caring adult's
help. This revised and updated addition to the award-winning What
Does It Mean to Be...? series is the perfect book to spark
meaningful dialogue and ensure every child knows what it means to
be safe.
Three BFFs prove that girls can do anything they set their minds to
in the sixth book in this hilarious series told entirely in text
messages, emojis, and passed notes. Perfect for fans of Invisible
Emmie and the Dork Diaries. TBH, sometimes boys say dumb things
about girls. And Cece is sick of it! When she leads a
super-successful event at school to raise awareness, everyone
starts looking to her to take charge--of everything. Prianka needs
ideas for National Poetry Month, Victoria wants advice on volunteer
projects, and Gabby needs homework help. To be honest, being a
leader is fun but the pressure is OOC (out of control)! Can Cece
help her friends without totally losing it herself?
