Modern boarding schools are relaxed and pleasant places for
children to learn and develop. However, this new freedom does mean
that boarders have to make more of their own decisions and puts a
new burden of responsibility on their shoulders. This excellent
book offers advice from a mother on how to prepare girls for their
first experience of boarding school. It is ideal for parents who
have decided that boarding is the best option for their girls and
is a guide to preparing your daughter so that she is confident from
the start and can get the most out of the opportunity she's been
given. The book is based on extensive research and a sizeable
archive of advice and anecdotes from a huge number of staff, girls
and parents. The advice ranges from the very obvious to the rather
more surprising, with anecdotes and verbatim comments from those
who have been there. It will leave you and your daughter feeling
better armed for what is ahead.

Simple words, rebus pictures, and flash cards make learning to read easy in this tale of a little boy in a haunted house.
The third book in the Cadence Series finds Maggie Zimmerman facing
a dilemma. Her growing success as a vocalist is putting her
relationship with Chad Kennely in jeopardy. Unable, and unwilling,
to choose between career and love life, she gets engaged, and then
marries, despite the insistence of her manager, Milt Norino that
she remain untangled in relationship. She simply doesn't inform
Milt of her marriage. For a time, Maggie manages to continue to
meet Milt's stringent demands, while concealing her marriage. The
more success Maggie's enjoys, the more difficult it becomes to
inform the Norinos that she is a married woman. When Lilly, Milt's
wife, finally learns of Maggie's deception, Maggie finds herself
without a manager or agent, without a future as a singer, without a
vocal coach, and without direction. As Maggie's plans and dreams
fall increasingly by the wayside, even Chad struggles to feel
confident in God's plan.
Maggie Zimmerman can sing like few others. But, her extraordinary
singing voice brings both applause and devastation into her young
life. After the tragic death of her little brother - a death Maggie
causes - Maggie forsakes her dreams of the stage and withdraws from
the world. Maggie's parents, fearing they will lose their daughter
as well, set a risky plan in motion that will force her back to the
very ambition she vowed to forsake. And while powerful people throw
open doors for Maggie's singing career, Maggie fights and resists
and drags her feet. She cannot shake the fear that she will simply
repeat the mistakes of her past if she returns to the stage. Soon
Maggie strikes up a friendship with Chad Kennely, the only person
who doesn't have a vested interest in her success. After realizing
they're both guarding secrets from their pasts, their friendship
borders on something more, but as Chad quickly makes a one-eighty
and confronts his mistakes, Maggie lags behind. Even though Maggie
has witnessed a change in Chad, she's still not certain God can
forgive her for what she's done.
Over the past fifty years the American people have abandoned
constitutional principles in pursuit of government handouts,
prosperity built upon debt and freedom from personal
responsibility. Over the next 50 years, America's headlong fall
into socialism will intersect with China's soaring free enterprise
sounding the death knell of the 400 year Anglo/American Empire.
Reason & Tolerance offers a concise argument for an American
Civic Revolution necessary to divert this threat and asks if
Americans have the courage to honor the sacrifices of their
forebears by once again embracing liberty through personal
initiative and responsibility.
