  Gilbert Filbert and His Big MAD Box, by Ian Gilbert and Andy Gilbert, is the story of one boy's desire to make a difference and help his mother find her smile again. It is a book about a boy, a box and a battle for a penguin but, more than that, it is a tale about families, hope and how to make dreams come true. When Gilbert's school project challenges him to 'make a difference', grandma introduces him to the mysterious big MAD box. Each of the sides helps Gilbert to focus on a different aspect of the challenge: setting a goal, identifying the reasons behind the goal, developing self-belief, possibility thinking, making a plan and taking action. Finally, Gilbert learns to appreciate what's inside and celebrate his unique qualities and attributes, which have helped him to succeed at his challenge. As grandma tells Gilbert, any problem is really an opportunity in a hat. The story is deliberately split into short chapters, each relating to a step in the thinking process. The resources provided mean readers can plan to make a difference of their own and develop their possibility thinking. Drawing on proven thinking and success strategies used by leading businesses and organisations, this entertaining, accessible and humorous book is designed to show young people the power of having a goal, having a plan and making a difference. A goal without a plan, they say, is just a wish. This book has been written especially for young people to show them how to set about turning wishes into reality by applying the sorts of planning tools usually only found in big business. The powerful set of thinking tools included in this book will help young people to develop habits of mind that will last a lifetime. The book can be read on a number of levels: as an amusing story, as a method for developing young people's own thinking processes, as a tool for engaging groups of young people in their thinking, or all three. The book also includes a Gilbert Filbert big MAD box which you can cut out, or download and print, together with a finger questions sheet (this will make sense once you have read the book!). Suitable for young people (aged 11+) to use on their own thinking adventures. Also suitable for parents, teachers or anyone working with teenagers who wants to join in the journey.

  The complete New York Times–bestselling series that began with the acclaimed romance, Shiver, “a lyrical tale of alienated werewolves and first love” (Publishers Weekly). In Shiver, meet Sam. He’s not just a normal boy—he has a secret. During the summer he walks and talks as a human, but when the cold comes, he runs with his pack as a wolf. Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house—but never dreamed that she would fall in love with one of them. Linger tells the story of Sam and Grace’s struggle to stay together, and the dangerous secret Grace must keep from everyone, including her parents. In Forever, wolves are being hunted, which means the stakes are even higher for Grace and Sam and the wolf pack. With Sinner comes the long awaited story of Cole, a wolf wrestling with his own demons, and his attempt to win back Isabel Culper For Grace, Sam, and Cole and Isabel, life is harrowing and euphoric, enticing and alarming. As their world falls apart, love is what lingers. But can it be enough? “Beautiful and moving.” —School Library Journal on Shiver This sequel’s poetic prose skillfully captures the four teens’ longings for love, forgetting, remembering, righting wrongs and life itself.” —Kirkus Reviews on Linger
