the ups and downs of running a family farm AND trying to stage a
secret play in a secret hen house theatre! Since the death of her
mother, Hannah's family life has been somewhat chaotic. Her father
is absorbed by running their dilapidated farm, and the four
children are increasingly left to their own devices. These include
"farming" each room of the house, looking after an enormous pet
sheep called Jasper, and writing and directing plays in a disused
hen house. But when the farm is threatened with demolition, Hannah
determines to save it and realise her dreams at the same time...
Shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize, this is a brilliant story of
eccentric family life where the children's imaginations run as free
as the farmyard animals. From the award-winning author of Evie's
Ghost, Anna at War, The Farm Beneath the Water and the Jasmine
Green series for younger readers, this is perfect for fans of Eva
Ibbotson, Emma Carroll and Frank Cottrell Boyce This edition is
reissued with a beautiful new cover.

images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Here, the authors explore practical ways of implementing APL for
the benefit of individuals, employers and the community as a whole,
showing how it can make a real contribution to equality of
opportunity. Chapters look at the particular needs of various
sectors of the community, and how APL can be used to meet those
needs. For ethnic communities, those whose first language is not
English, and those who arrive in Britain with qualifications from
overseas, the APL process can be a vital stage in the search for
education, employment and equality of experience. People with
disabilities find that APL can help break through barriers and
offer new breadth of opportunity, whilst for women it can lead to
greater recognition and improved career progression. Through the
use of case studies and practical examples the authors offer
detailed guidance on methods of implementation, staff development
and continuing support to help tutors, managers and senior staff
make effective use of APL.
