Isobel Kuhn wasn't always a missionary - she wasn't always a
Christian. Her teachers discouraged a belief in God and promoted
evolution. Isobel sometimes doubted whether there was anybody there
at all to hear her prayers. "They don't go beyond the ceiling you
know," she once said to her father who was desperately praying for
his young daughter. Isobel even considered suicide once but the
thought of her parents' heartache stopped her. Discover what
brought this questioning, antagonistic teenager from doubts to
faith in Christ. Find out how she affected the lives of countless
people on the mission field of China and Thailand. This stirring
and challenging story of faith is a role model to young people
everywhere.

How a little kid from Dublin became a world champion boxer. Bernard
Dunne tells his own story in his own words: for children! Growing
up in Neilstown, west Dublin, Bernard Dunne was always going to be
a boxer. His Dad Brendan was an Olympic boxer in his day, and
coached in the CIE club in Inchicore, and his two big brothers were
skilled boxers too. As Bernard grew up boxing taught him to believe
in himself and helped him to focus on goals both within the sport
and in other parts of his life. Bernard won his first boxing bout,
at the age of six and against a ten-year-old, and went on to win
thirteen Irish championship titles. In this inspirational book,
Bernard describes life as a boy in Neilstown, the ups and downs of
his life and career, and the powerful life lessons and skills that
sport can teach a child.

'Hilarious and a timely look at women and our bodies' Juno Dawson
'Honest, rebellious and completely refreshing' Fearne Cotton
Charli Howard grew up thinking that she wasn't good enough. She wasn't pretty enough. She wasn't rich enough. She wasn't thin enough. Fitting in wasn't exactly easy. Looking at the smiling girls in magazines, she came to the obvious conclusion: to be accepted, she has to be 'perfect'. She had to be a model.
But what magazines don't tell you is that you can't Photoshop your problems away, and they can Photoshop a lot. So, when you're the thinnest you've ever been, your agency fires you, and you're battling anxiety and an eating disorder to boot, how do you get through it? You get angry, go viral and discover that, after all that, you're not alone. At least that's what Charli did.
