Elizabeth is a thoughtful, quiet girl, ever cautious and just a little bit timid. Zenobia is everything Elizabeth would like to be, and more: bold and unafraid and wildly imaginative. The problem is ... only Elizabeth can see Zenobia.
When they arrive at their new home, the imposing Witheringe House, Zenobia is convinced it's haunted and eagerly tries to contact a spirit presence. Elizabeth is relieved when her efforts come to nothing.
But then this dark and foreboding manor begins to reveal some extraordinary secrets...
Shortlisted for a major Australian children's writing prize, this beautiful novel is about finding courage, about friendship, about the power of the imagination. With all the hallmarks of a children's classic, this would sit on the shelf between Neil Gaiman's Coraline and Robin Stevens's Murder Most Unladylike. Jessica Miller is an outstanding new talent.

Sons et sens presents a unique cultural approach to French
pronunciation for English-speaking students. Each chapter presents
a new cultural topic, such as the French education system,
vernacular French, and cooking in the francophone world, in order
to enhance students' pronunciation skills within the context of
French and francophone culture. Phonetic explanations and rules
throughout the textbook are anchored in recent research on French
phonology, reflecting contemporary French as well as elements of
nonstandard variation from around the francophone world. The
authors' approach derives from current research on second language
acquisition and pedagogy as well as contemporary research on French
linguistics -- especially sociolinguistics. The textbook's fifteen
chapters include a variety of exercises on sound discrimination,
rule formulation, phonetic reading and transcriptions, and
conversations. The accompanying DVD provides about 200 sound files
and several video files that show how sounds are formed with the
body. A teacher's edition contains additional materials, including
comments and answers keyed to the student text. Perfect for third
year students, Sons et sens should appeal to instructors and
students of college-level pronunciation and phonetics courses and
serve as a valuable reference in a variety of courses where
pronunciation is of importance. The book will also interest
students with some background in French who want to perfect their
pronunciation on their own.

takes off and introduces herself to a foreign land. She hoped to
keep her whereabouts a secret but it isn't long before her father
discovers where she is and threatens to take her back kicking and

happens next in the all new installment of The Wanderers series
with Unforgiven.
For Tatum, love has always been something to keep at a distance. It
was easier and it was safer. As an independent young woman she is
content to enjoy a life split casually between friends and her
career. Her life changes one night when by chance she meets the
mysterious Cole and finds herself irresistibly drawn to him. Almost
instantly he leaves a lingering impression on her that is so
perfect it's terrifying. Soon she isn't sure what she wants and
finds it impossible to get him off her mind. It's everything about
him. It's the scent of him that lingers, the closeness of his
breath, the slightest touch of his skin and the blue of his eyes
that makes her very soul ache. The last thing she wants is to admit
to love and the inevitable complications that come with it. But it
isn't long before her inability to reconcile what her heart wants
sends her life spiraling out of her control and she becomes trapped
in a dance of giving in and running away. Before two people can
share their lives, they need to face their past.
Ella finally knows what she is, but now she's not so sure she knows
who she is. With Jack still on the loose her parents have her
confined to the house leaving Ella to feel like she's stuck in a
prison. Coping with the loss of her best friend and the love of her
life, Ella feels trapped in an endless cycle of torment. She feels
she's doomed to lose everyone she loves. In attempt to keep her
safe and help her understand her new life her parents decide that
what's best for her is to go back to school, but not just any
school. Ella's not alone though. The school is filled with students
who are just like her, including her brother Dean. Her mission is
to keep herself blended in the background and out of trouble, but
unfortunately Ella isn't that lucky. With the roommate from hell,
her brother constantly breathing down her neck, and being pinned
right away as the outcast, Ella wants nothing more than to just
crawl under a rock for the rest of her life. Even the school's
sweetheart has it in for her. Can she overcome her fear of the
unknown? Will she ever learn to accept who she is? The most
important thing Ella is concerned about is just surviving the
semester at Hamilton Hill.
