the natural world." --Kwame Alexander, New York Times bestselling
author of The Crossover From New York Times bestselling author Mary

healing power of nature in her first book for middle grade readers.
Eleven-year-old Jake's life has just turned upside-down. His father
was wounded in Afghanistan, and his mother is going to leave to
care for him. That means Jake's spending the summer on tiny Dewees
Island with his grandmother. The island is a nature sanctuary--no
cars or paved roads, no stores or restaurants. To make matters
worse, Jake's grandmother doesn't believe in cable or the internet.
Which means Jake has no cell phone, no video games...and no
friends. This is going to be the worst summer ever! He's barely on
the island before he befriends two other kids--Macon, another
"summer kid," and Lovie, a know-it-all who lives there and shows
both Jake and Macon the ropes of life on the island. All three are
struggling with their own family issues and they quickly bond,
going on adventures all over Dewees Island. Until one misadventure
on an abandoned boat leads to community service. Their punishment?
Mandatory duty on the Island Turtle Team. The kids must do a daily
dawn patrol of the beach on the hunt for loggerhead sea turtle
tracks. When a turtle nest is threatened by coyotes, the three
friends must find a way to protect it. Can they save the turtle
nest from predators? Can Jake's growing love for the island and its
inhabitants (be they two-legged, four-legged, feathered, or finned)
help to heal his father?

single most influential woman to ever serve in the FBI.' -Joe

homicide cases. Through her work, she crossed paths with Ted Bundy,
Jeffrey Dahmer, Edmund Kemper, Aileen Wuornos, and hundreds of
other murderers. Over the course of an utterly astonishing career
in law enforcement and intelligence analysis, Monroe has come

'Highly recommended' MICK HERRON 'The Secret History meets The
Capture' J.P. DELANEY You might be paranoid, but that doesn't mean
they're not watching you. Adam lives a picture-perfect life: happy
marriage, two young children, and a flourishing career as a doctor.
But Adam also lives with a secret. Hospital CCTV, strangers' mobile
phones, city traffic cameras – he is convinced that they are all
watching him, recording his every move. All because of something
terrible that happened at a drunken party when he was a medical
student. Only two other people knew what happened that night. Two
people he's long left behind. Until one of them, Clio – Adam's
great unrequited love – turns up on his doorstep, and reignites a
sinister pact twenty-four years in the making... No Place to Hide
is a spellbinding tale of psychological suspense, weaving together
the dark web, murder, and blackmail... ‘Compelling, relentless
and genuinely frightening’ SIMON RUSSELL BEALE 'Intelligent,
dark, twisty' JANE SHEMILT ‘Monroe builds up the tension well,
offering a battle between good and evil and bringing in the kinds
of questions most people ask themselves’ LITERARY REVIEW 'Clever,
convincing and wickedly twisty' MICK HERRON 'An intelligent and
inventive thriller that grips to the very last page' J.P.DELANEY
‘Disturbing and fun at the same time, this is a techno-thriller
with an entirely human core.' MORNING STAR
In 1991, Dr. Lorraine Monroe founded the Frederick Douglass
Academy, a public school in Harlem, in the belief that caring
instructors, a disciplined but creative environment, and a refusal
to accept mediocrity could transform the lives of inner-city kids.
Her experiment was a huge success. Today the Academy is one of the
finest schools in the country, sending graduates to Ivy League
colleges and registering the third highest SAT scores in New York
City. The key to its success: a unique leadership method Monroe
calls the "Monroe Doctrine," which she developed through decades as
a teacher and principal in some of America's toughest schools. In
this book Monroe tells her own remarkable story and explains her
"Doctrine" through pithy, memorable rules and observations and a
host of wonderful true stories. This is an inspiring read for both
new and experienced educators--and for anyone who wants to succeed
in the face of seemingly impossible odds.

Author Terry Monroe, an intermediary or business broker, provides
folksy, no-nonsense advice to business owners on how they can avoid
the common pitfalls of selling their businesses while ensuring they
get full value from the years of hard work they've put in. Monroe
has established, operated, and sold businesses for over thirty
years and has owned forty different businesses, including 10
national franchises and a retailer with over 200 retail locations
in 27 states and Canada. He stresses that business owners should
begin preparing themselves and their businesses early and not think
they can just jump into the selling of their business as if they
were selling a car or a house. Information includes how to navigate
the process of selling a business from making the initial decision
to sell-which is the hardest part of all, according to the
author-to getting the business ready, going through due diligence
with the buyer, providing the requisite information, and finally
hiring a team of experts (attorney, accountant, and broker) to help
get to the finish line-the closing. This book will educate sellers
on how to make it through the sale process efficiently and as
stress-free as possible, while netting them top dollar for
themselves and their family
An original, intelligent and twisty thriller set in rural
Wiltshire. A dead body in a crop circle sends a coded message. Can
DI Silas Hart uncover the chilling truth before its too late? It
isn't unusual for crop circles to appear overnight on Hackpen Hill.
In this part of Wiltshire, where golden wheat fields stretch for
miles, the locals have got used to discovering strange mathematical
patterns stamped into the earth. But this time, it's different. Not
only because this particular design of dramatic spiralling hexagons
has never been seen before. But because of the dead body positioned
precisely in the centre of the circle. DI Silas Hart, of Swindon
Police, is at a loss. Only Jim, a scientist at secretive government
laboratory Porton Down, knows the chilling truth about the man on
Hackpen Hill. And he wants Bella, a trainee journalist on her first
ever story, to tell the world. But Silas has other ideas - and a
boss intent on a cover up. As Bella and Jim race against time, dark
forces conspire against them, leading them to confront the reality
of their own past and a world in which nothing is as it seems.

fat and depressed. After all, he wasn't the smartest kid there ever
was, and even his school - Monty Middle - tried to hide him, with
11 other "nobodies," in Room 211 in the back of the school in a
special "Drop Out Prevention" D.O.P. class. But then "miracles"
begin to happen the day Mr. Martin, a charismatic African-American
writer turned teacher, walks into his class. He's a teacher like no
other, who helps Marvin, along with pals Markus, Quinesha, Roberto,
Luis, Danielle, and others from the culturally-diverse class
believe in themselves, and together they create miracles. Do you
believe in miracles? You will, after reading Miracle at Monty
Middle School. Perfect for middle and high school classrooms: "My
students and I really enjoyed Miracle at Monty Middle School. It is
an inspiring book taking a bunch of kids who think they are
nobodies and turning them into kids who believed in themselves."
Sheila Berry, Middle School Language Arts Teacher, West Palm Beach,
Florida "This is what we live and relate to every day, Mon. through
Fri. The book takes you through the reality of being a middle
school teacher. Unless you've been there, you wouldn't really know
what goes on behind closed doors. It's a great book. I think
students would enjoy reading this book instead of the textbooks we
have now." Anna Sterling, Middle School Language Arts Teacher, West
