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.
What do you get when dragons combine their hoards? What do you get
when you take a little slice of dragon lore? "The Dragons' Beads"
features the work of Elizabeth Buckley, Niels Van Eekelen, Athena
Garcia, Ollie Lambert, Douglas J. Moore, Meghan Proctor, Jo Anne
Spiese, Kristina Stumpf & Michael Camp, and Rachel Wookey. This
is the first volume of what is hoped to be a multi volume project
highlighting essays, art, poetry, and short stories featuring
and/or about dragons. Originally it was supposed to be a contest to
highlight the best dragon stories and poems from young authors. The
project had to be adjusted due to an initial lack of submissions.
Perhaps future volumes will be able to have more competition, and
it is hoped that in the future THG StarDragon Publishing will be
able to afford having cash prizes to fuel writer's interest in
exchange for featuring the "beads" of their stories. Submissions
for the next volume are open, and instructions can be found at
www.thgstardragon.com for those interested in participating.
