welcomes her in. Here Rosie learns how to build her confidence,

overcoming your fears. A perfect way to start conversations with
children about resilience and confidence issues, with humour, a

Go behind the headlines to explore the wider background of news
stories that are making a major impact across the world. In
Violence Against Women we ask why so many women across the world
are victims of violence, from domestic abuse and rape to forced
abortions, female genital mutilation and murder. Why does it
happen, who are the perpetrators and what can be done to stop it
happening? This book includes quotes from key figures, opinions
from all sides of the argument and debate panels that invite
readers aged 12+ to discuss the issues that shape our world. Other
titles in the Behind the News series: Global Financial Crisis,

'The playful, obstinate and courageously humorous tone of
Zephaniah's writing shines through ... hilarious and later
heartbreaking' Guardian A teacher is dead, murdered by two of his
students in front of the whole school. Right in front of Jackson
Jones. But Mr Joseph was a good man - people liked him, respected
him. How could those boys stab him and jog away like nothing had
happened? Unable to process what he has seen, Jackson begins his
own investigation: everyone knows who did it, but as Jackson
uncovers more about the boys, he becomes convinced that people need
to understand why. Brilliantly written and with a real ear for
dialogue, fans of Angie Thomas and Malorie Blackman will love
Benjamin Zephaniah's novels for young adult readers: Refugee Boy
