In the time since his parents’ divorce, Stony hasn’t had much to say to his father. It’s not just the embarrassing things his father does in public, like picking fights with strangers on the golf course, needling his ex-wife about the car she drives, and asking girls whether they’re attracted to Stony. It’s also that his father hasn’t talked with him–even once–about his taste in books or girls, or about the painful stuff that has happened, like his grandmother being murdered, “inexplicably,” as Stony’s psychiatrist says. Then it’s summer, and whatever their relationship issues, Stony is headed for a New Hampshire vacation with his father, his sister, Molly, and his father’s girlfriend, Sally. They plan to hike, watch movies at the condo, and visit the local caves. But at their very first stop to get a burger along the turnpike, Stony’s father gets into an argument with a creepy-looking skinny guy and his huge friend. Sally calms Stony’s father down, and the four of them drive away from the rest area—-but not, it turns out, from the skinny guy and his friend. OUT OF EDEN is not just about the loss of innocence, it’s about coming face-to-face with evil.

An easy-to-read Curriculum chart displays the links between the topics covered and the National Curriculum for science, and a glossary defines key words related to the subject. The books are designed for children to use independently, recapping key areas of the curriculum with explanations, colour illustrations, summaries of key points and 'Test yourself!' questions to check understanding. Helpful 'tips for tests' ensure that children perform to the best of their ability in the tests. The KS1 Science Revision Guide includes: life processes and living things, materials and their properties, physical processes, scientific enquiry and answers to the 'Test yourself!' questions.

WAYSAS is one of the few books about money that does not tell you how to make it. What you will learn, is how to understand it! Then you will have as much of it as you want. Anyone can write a book about how they made money in business, property or shares but the truth is, unless you understand money, these vehicles will never lead you to it. Reading books like this is akin to reading about how someone won the lotto. There are 1000 ways to wealth and only a few will suit you. The chances of you finding a plan to wealth, that works for you in a book are slim. So better than a plan to make money, you need to understand money and that is what I will teach you.
