support right. With a focus on the well-being of both students and
staff, chapters focus on techniques to develop self-esteem, manage
behaviour and build positive relationships at all levels. Key

suitable for the busy classroom environment, as well as whole
school approaches downloadable activities and planning sheets based
on cognitive behavioural therapy techniques a focus on building

Shortlisted for the 2022 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize The perfect
marriage of literary and speculative fiction for readers of Kazuo
Ishiguro and NK Jemisin. When Freya Tanangco was ten, she dreamed
of her mother's death right before it happened. That's when she
realized she was a veker, someone with enhanced mental abilities
and who is scorned as a result. Freya's adult life has been spent
in hiding: from the troubled literary legacy created by her author
father, and from the scrutiny of a society in which vekers often
meet with violence. When her prophetic dreams take a dangerous
turn, Freya finds herself increasingly forced to sacrifice her own
anonymity-and the fragile safety that comes with it-in order to
protect those around her. Interwoven with themes of Filipino and
mixed-race identity, fantastical elements from Norse and Filipino
mythology, and tarot card symbolism, The Quiet Is Loud is an
intergenerational tale of familial love and betrayal, and what
happens when we refuse to let others tell our stories for us.
"Garner wears her spec fic, geek, and SF influences on her sleeve,
and The Quiet Is Loud is a warm welcome to the more literary part
of that universe."-Understorey Magazine "A deeply thoughtful book
about identity and the quest for true acceptance-especially in a
world that encourages us to hate, hide, and fear who we
are."-Stacey May Fowles
