Stuff Happens. Real-life stories for boys. Suitable for beginner and newly confident readers. Stuff happens sometimes. Everyday stuff. At school, at home, with sport, with mates. For Lennie it happened when he argued with a teacher. Lennie loves facts, and he loves nothing more than letting everyone know about it.

Lennie realises that no one can be right all of the time, and that's okay - no one is perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMHA_hUJXy4 http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/special-features/books-for-boys-series-stuff-happens-helps-show-boys-how-to-deal-with-their-emotions/story-fni3wj64-1227246165147 http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/booksandartsdaily/stuff-happens3a-books-for-boys/5649918 Praise for Stuff Happens 'Stories about boys, aimed at boys and containing real-life stories of their school and home life are rare. Even rarer are those that have readily identifiable characters and situations, and engage, amuse and inform. But here they are.' 'An exciting new series written specifically for boys aged from seven to eleven . . . great additions for school libraries and for engaging reluctant boy readers. Outstanding!' Read Plus 'The fantastic Stuff Happens series.' reviewZOO 'I love a book that talks in a kid's voice. It makes us feel important and special. The thing I like the most about these books are that they tell different perspectives of everyday things in life.' Mr 10 – Readingtree.com.au 'The awareness of the emotional life of boys is slowly being recognised as a critical factor into the development of boys to be strong and courageous sensitive men. Stuff Happens explores feelings and emotions in an entertaining and humorous way, allowing boys to understand that it is OK to express emotion. This can only be positive! I highly recommend and love the books!' Deborah Jepsen, Educational and Developmental Psychologist – Melbourne Child Psychology / School Psychology Services 'As a mum to two boys aged 8 and 10, I was thrilled to find a book series that provided very real 'boy dilemmas' and connected feelings and behaviours, which can be really confusing for boys. What was even more exciting was how much the boys ate it up. My eldest read the first book in one sitting and I was back at the bookshop the next day to buy the entire series! My youngest loved being read to and was so engaged and interested in all the characters and their issues. Can't wait for the next instalment.' Marita Evans – Mum to Rupert, 10, and Henry, 8

An autobiography with Demons.This is a map to my soul written down on these pages for you to know. This is written in a sometimes very broken stream of consciousness way, though my many re-reads and edits should help. It is a memoir of madness and a tale of woe. If you read this then know that you will step into the darkness and within that darkness you will find my demons and you’ll see the worst and the best of humanity.This is not a happy book.Know that I am tired and alone, both scarred and scared of my experiences. I am both magician and magic trick in my own life and the tricks I play on my mind to keep pushing on. I am every experience that has ever hurt, broke or crushed me. Some I remember, some I just bear the wounds from and some of those wounds will never heal. I am lost battered, bruised and confused like the rest of us.I am part Native American, and part Asian. I have dealt with racism all of my life and I am the victim of child abuse on all levels.This is a map showing how people can break and how sometimes I'm just too stupid to stay down.This story is about a little boy who barely knew how to walk and how he once decided he would cross a street filled with broken bottles and what came before that moment and what came after it. That boy carried my name and as much as it hurts to admit it, that boy was me and always has been and always will be.

The military monarch tailed the main government, dreadfully panicked, never stopped handing out the century, killing the middlemen, and leading the invading army to the Reign, pushing so many people into the fire of the funeral love, causing the eight directions to vibrate. People in Gypsy are extremely indignant, constantly emerged, Xao Chao Dai master guessed the work as god, Wei suicide of the magnificent flower, Great master of the meaningless sky, The evil air of a body of air, Toai No Exile enthusiastic enthusiasm, all of them in turn wrote down the beautiful but magnificent songs that underpinned the next day's overthrow.Under the author's pen, the world of military generals appeared as a virtual reality, it was a traditional Gypsy with the righteous states and all kinds of evil mediators, but it was also a separate Gypsy when running in parallel with the intrigue of the political court, the fate such as the patriarch and the mandarins sometimes seemed to be merged into one.The author's method of building characters is also really ingenious, each character shows up with only a few pens but also leaves the reader deeply impressed, only looking at the description of "a general troops, half of the general manager, three handyman, four dudes, flashes of celestial flowers, and impersonal voices. Later on, the deeper the step in the work, the more each character's personality becomes more profound, each has its own ideals and objectives, such as Lam Thanh who is dedicated to seeking martial arts, and a monk of one heart. defender except ghosts, Diep Phong longs for freedom and affection, even to villains such as Tiet Bat Mac, Ninh Hoi Phong are also separate personalities that are hard to mix.About story plot, this is more and more a difficult product to ignore, when the story is fast, it is fast, when it is slow, slows up and down, drags the reader through all kinds of emotions, festivals clutches of passionate enthusiasm. Following the footsteps of Tieu Huyen, step by step discovering the mystical Gypsy, step by step destroying the intrigue, again having to go through the pain and pain, tearing up the intestines, asking those who hold the rage to overflow? Following the path of Diep Phong, a Toai Khong sword in the hands of every enemy has changed, the enemy's head, only one blade is shattered, asking who can stop the hot blood from boiling?In addition to the aforementioned things, each story series in the generals' army has a spirit of its own, such as Thau Thien Cung is the epic for the ideal, Destiny's Love is the story of the grief of love, a righteous song, Nhat Tien's Journey is a journey of destiny, Absolute Peak is a no-frills war, Toai Khao Dao is a cup of wine of love and freedom. Writing to the point like that, in the martial arts world in the past, asking how many people are there, isn't it worth it to look forward to?The Soul of the Picture is located in the school of novels of the Ming Dynasty Military System of the Korean Time.***On the top of the Changbai Mountain, the snow-covered ice sheet, the white-white blade of snow suddenly disappeared, the blade stopped in mid-air, obscuring the face of the dancing boy.The old man standing beside him applauded: "Phong Nhi, relying on the martial arts approach has nearly reached this great citadel, I have enough strength to leave the monastery to go out.""Gypsy ..." The dancing teen seemed to have a bit of a stupidity. "Where is the lake?"Smiling softly, the old man said in a firm voice: "The lake is the school of law for the martial arts girls to substitute."What is a substitute for heaven?""It is righteousness to substitute for heavenly worship!"The young man smiled faintly, saying: "On the jamboree are these lies and deceitful things full of meaning?""Yes of course. The most famous righteous land on Gypsy is the Five Chews. ""The five tastes chew? Where is that place? ”
