Children love to explore, born with a boundless desire to
understand the world around them. While most of the outside world
has already been mapped, there's a whole other world that has yet
to be discovered, one that's accessible only to them: their own
minds. The Book of Me is a guided journal of self-discovery. It
takes readers on a journey inside themselves, helping them explore
their mind, their moods, their imagination, their conscience, and
how they determine the course of their lives. Alongside wise and
engaging explanations of ideas, each chapter contains a wealth of
interactive exercises that together help to create a rich and
unique self-portrait. Through writing, drawing, cutting out and
colouring in, children can begin to untangle the mysteries of
existence and work out who they really are (and who they might
become...). Combining psychology, philosophy and sheer fun, The
Book of Me is an introduction to the vital art of self-knowledge,
showing how it can help us grow into calmer, wiser and more rounded
human beings.
Another graphic novel in this fresh and fun series spin-off of The
Baby-sitters Club, featuring Kristy's little stepsister! It's going
to be a great weekend! Karen has new roller skates and is a very
good skater. She's looking forward to trying some new tricks. But,
oh no! Karen falls down and has to go to the hospital. Her wrist is
broken!Karen is determined to get everyone she knows -- plus
someone famous -- to sign her cast. It isn't going to be easy, but
she won't give up until the job is done.
A look at your amazing body and how it develops and changes through
your lifetime Growing & Changing explores the human life cycle,
looking at how we and our bodies grow, develop and change
throughout our life, from birth through to childhood, puberty,
adulthood and old age. Along the way, we learn many new skills and
discover our independence. Your Body & You takes a look at our
bodies, taking a less strictly scientific and more PSHE-friendly
approach and encouraging readers to appreciate just how special
their body really is. Core information on nutrition, exercise and
sleep is balanced alongside more challenging issues, such as
looking after your mental health, body privacy and how to have a
positive body image. Titles in the series: Your Body & You:
You're Unique! Your Body & You: Looking After Your Body Your

An illustrated reader retelling the story of Jesus meeting with
Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus is determined to seek out a way to see Jesus
even though a towering and discouraging crowd is in his way. But
God cares and Jesus calls him down from the tree to meet with him -
a meeting that sets him on a new path of hope and encouragement. A
reassuring story to help young children talk to parents or those
who care for them about their hopes and challenges, find support to
persevere, and know that Jesus too finds a way to be with them. The
'God cares' series provides a Biblical approach to discussing
emotions and behaviour with children to nurture an attitude of
wellness. Children at different ages approach things differently in
their stages of emotional development, so this series works at two
different levels: illustrated Readers aimed at 5-7 year olds and
Chapter books aimed at 8+ years. Please note that children progress
at different reading abilities and stages of emotional development
so the age ranges are only a guide for parents and carers. The
Bible stories are retold reflecting on the emotions and encourages
children to discuss and relate this within their situations.
Sections at the back provide a reflective space for children and
practical advice for parents and carers. Debbie Duncan, author of
The Art of Daily Resilience, Brave and Gifted, is a nurse and a
teacher, and mother of four children. She has considerable insight
into what constitutes resilience and bravery: the ability to cope,
to stay on course, to bounce back. In her books she considers what
is required for physical, mental, and spiritual durability,
interweaving biblical teaching, prayers, with personal anecdote and
sound advice. This she now applies specifically to support parents
and carers raising children.

From the artist of BSC Graphix comes this humorous coming-of-age
true story about the dental drama that ensues after a trip-and-fall
mishap.
Raina just wants to be a normal sixth grader. But one night after
Girl Scouts she trips and falls, severely injuring her two front
teeth. What follows is a long and frustrating journey with
on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear, and
even a retainer with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that,
there's still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion,
and friends who turn out to be not so friendly.
No matter how you try to hide it, the truth will always come out .
. . After a plane crash sees a group of seven teens washed up on a
desert island, their first thought is survival. But a terrible
secret from a party the night before has followed them ashore.
Facing deadly threats and the fear of being stranded forever, they
quickly discover that being the most popular kid in High School
doesn't help when you're fighting to stay alive. As the island
deals each of them a dangerous blow, it's clear that someone is
looking for justice. Now survival depends on facing the truth about
that party: who was hurt that night, and who let it happen? From
multi-award-winning author and gender equality activist, Laura
Bates, this thought-provoking drama will start an important
conversation and keep you guessing to the end. Praise for The
Trial: 'While the climactic "trial" provides a satisfying political
edge, the most gripping passages involve the simple struggle for
survival.' - Financial Times 'Laura Bates is one of the most
important feminist voices we have and The Trial is engaging and
clever, thought-provoking and thrilling. I inhaled it in one
sitting.' - Louise O'Neill, author of Asking For It 'A book that
teens and young adults should be adding to their contemporary
mystery and feminist reading lists' - Culture Fly 'Laura Bates has
written another unputdownable (I mean this, I had to give up on
getting anything done to consume this story) novel, which as you
can imagine asks some important questions too.'- Lucy-Anne Holmes,
editor Women on Top of the World
Valuable tips, tricks, and advice from a veteran young adult with
Type 1 diabetes. Essential reading for parents and children! Type 1
diabetes (T1D) can be a daunting diagnosis, especially for a young
kid or a teen. Patrick McAllister knows. Diagnosed with T1D at age
twelve, McAllister's life changed forever, and he faced an
uncertain future of insulin shots, diet regulations, and high
school. If only I had a roadmap, he thought. So, years after he
learned things the hard way, he decided to write one. Whether it is
managing mood swings, hormones, or blood sugar levels, Highs &
Lows of Type 1 Diabetes is the ultimate teenager's and young
adult's handbook for surviving, thriving, and flourishing with T1D
during one of the most terrifying, yet exciting, phases of your
life. Many think of T1D as a scary disease that is sporadic and
uncontrollable, but after eight years of dealing with the literal
and figurative highs and lows of T1D, McAllister has learned that
it is more a lifestyle change. These pages detail a framework for
every situation you could possibly imagine involving T1D, from
coming home from the hospital after your diagnosis to preparing to
leave your nest for freshman year at college. Learn how to: Count
carbohydrates, pump insulin like a pro, and correct irregular blood
sugar levels Tell your friends, get good grades, and survive school
Play sports with the right game-plan Navigate sex, drugs, and rock
'n' roll And more! Type 1 diabetes stinks, but you don't have to go
through it blind and alone! Some have learned it the hard way, but
Highs & Lows of Type 1 Diabetes will ensure that you will take
control of your T1D diagnosis, conquer your adolescent years, and
live a healthy and fulfilling life.
