Most books about bullying tell children how to act without addressing how they feel—you can't act brave and confident if you feel stressed and helpless inside. Jenny Alexander's approach is to develop readers' psychological defenses. Through a mix of exercises, quizzes, and fictional scenarios, she combines common sense with simple cognitive techniques to build up children's self-esteem. Her tone is humorous and upbeat, but always sensitive to the reader's feelings.

There is a middle world between life and death, and Tess must navigate it to save her brother in this heart-wrenching story infused with the fractured and fantastical realms of Finnish mysticism.Axel and Tess are bewildered when a stranger shows up in their backyard accompanied by a giant brown bear, but before they can investigate the bizarre encounter, something more harrowing happens: their father is killed in a freak car accident.Now orphaned, Tess and Axel are shipped off to Finland to live with grandparents who they’ve never met, and are stunned to discover that the mysterious stranger with the bear has found them again. More stunning—they come to understand that this man isn’t really a man…he’s a keeper of souls. And the bear isn’t really a bear…it’s a ghost. Their mother’s ghost. Wandering, endlessly, searching for their father.Then the Keeper invites Axel, who is fighting his symptoms of muscular dystrophy, to join the path of the dead—and when Axel disappears into the deep snow, Tess knows she must find a way to follow. There are mysteries connected to this peculiar man, this keeper, and if she can untangle them, she might not only save Axel, but also bring her parents peace.

To Acton and our world, Vormund Academy isn’t just an academy; it is the academy. As one of the greatest schools in this world and others, only the richest and smartest are permitted through its walls. There is however one exception. One part of the academy, seldom visited by those who don’t belong, holds a secret. The Outsider’s Courtyard is home to students who signed the mysterious box on page fourteen. They will be assigned with difficult tasks, from which some may never return. Acton Reigns knew his life would change the moment he was accepted into Vormund Academy, but even he didn’t expect what it would become. Will Acton’s memories of his past lives, his friends, and a girl lost through time be enough to save an ancient city and stop the darkness from spreading? Unbeknownst to him, the fate of the worlds rest in his hands... and that of another. The threads of his destiny have only just begun to spin.
