masterclass in character.' VERONICA HENRY When we go through
something impossible, someone, or something, will help us, if we
let them . . . It is October 1966 and William Lavery is having the
night of his life at his first black-tie do. But, as the evening
unfolds, news hits of a landslide at a coal mine. It has buried a
school: Aberfan. William decides he must act, so he stands and
volunteers to attend. It will be his first job as an embalmer, and
it will be one he never forgets. His work that night will force him
to think about the little boy he was, and the losses he has worked
so hard to forget. But compassion can have surprising consequences,
because - as William discovers - giving so much to others can
sometimes help us heal ourselves. What readers are saying: *****
'One stunning read to remember.' ***** 'Beautifully written . . . I
would recommend this book to all.' ***** 'Utterly heartbreaking and
uplifting . . . I loved it.' ***** 'Tremendous.'
"Things of such magnitude deserve respect and understanding. They deserve to be remembered..."
Artist and illustrator Jo Brown started keeping her nature diary in a bid to document the small wonders of the wood behind her home in Devon. This book is an exact replica of her original black Moleskin journal, a rich illustrated memory of Jo's discoveries in the order in which she found them. In enchanting, minute detail she zooms in on a bog beacon mushroom, a buff-tailed bumble-bee, or a native bluebell. And she notes facts about their physiology and life history.
Secrets Of A Devon Wood is a treat for the senses, a hymn to the intricate beauty of the natural world and a quiet call to arms for all of us to acknowledge and preserve it. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finally put it down.

splits up with her the self-harm intensifies until Lexi's sister
persuades her to see Steph, the school counsellor. Together they
explore some of the experiences that have shaped the way Lexi
responds to negative emotions, and though the challenges she faces
remain the same, as the therapy continues she learns how to
experience those emotions without self-harming.

Barrington Stoke's SEN short fiction. The Bench has been specially
designed for teen readers with a very low reading age of 6 and is
fully illustrated throughout: An old man sits on a bench and feeds
the birds. A boy makes friends with the old man. But is there
something odd about this meeting?
Tonight nineteen-year-old William Lavery is dressed for success, his first black-tie do. It's the Midlands Chapter of the Institute of Embalmers Ladies' Night Dinner Dance, and William is taking Gloria in her sequined evening gown. He can barely believe his luck. But as the guests sip their drinks and smoke their post-dinner cigarettes a telegram delivers news of a tragedy. An event so terrible it will shake the nation.
It is October 1966 and a landslide at a coal mine has buried a school: Aberfan. William decides he must act, so he stands and volunteers to attend. It will be his first job, and will be - although he's yet to know it - a choice that threatens to sacrifice his own happiness. His work that night will force him to think about the little boy he was, and the losses he has worked so hard to bury.
But compassion can have surprising consequences, because - as William discovers - giving so much to others can sometimes help us heal ourselves.
