  Alternate realities. Unseen threats. One girl to set it right. 
  Tina Infantino thought her life was a mess—her parents won’t stop fighting, and her best friend Ken has been acting distant since the “Space Camp” incident. But things take a turn for the worse when Ken vanishes into another dimension. Suddenly, Tina’s thrust into a mission across alternate realities to save him—and maybe the multiverse too. Recruited by the W.E.I.R.D.E. Task Force, a team of oddball government agents tasked with protecting the multiverse from their secret base beneath the streets of Everly Heights, Tina must confront enemies from beyond her world while juggling her collapsing life back home. 
  With the unpredictable troll wizard Nosloo the Great and strait-laced W.E.I.R.D.E. agent Jim Colvin by her side, Tina races against time to stop the dimensional incursions threatening her reality. In Infinite Tina, you’ll dive into a thrilling, reality-hopping adventure packed with courage, loyalty, and the fight to hold onto what really matters—even when your whole world is falling apart.

  It’s New Year’s Eve and the last thing Spid wants to do is celebrate. Now Spidmas is over, he feels unloved and unappreciated. But just as Spid is thinking he’ll never make anything of himself, Bid comes up with an idea that changes everything.This adventure is about recognising and taking charge of your feelings. And inspiring resolutions for the year ahead. It features two songs: 'New Year Ensemble' and 'Sheen Neean Kwai Luh (Xin Nian Kuai Le)' which is Chinese for Happy New Year. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.

  Drawing on extensive historical and anthropological research, personal accounts, and interviews with people who work in the funeral industry, Penny Colman examines the compelling subjects of death and burial across cultures and societies. The text, enriched with stories both humorous and poignant, includes details about the decomposition and embalming processes (an adult corpse buried six feet deep without a coffin will usually take five to ten years to turn into a skeleton) and describes the various customs associated with containing remains (the Igala people in Nigeria have a custom of burying people in as many as twenty-seven layers of clothing). Intriguing facts are revealed at every turn; for example, in Madagascar winter was considered the corpse-turning season.This comprehensive book also includes a list of burial sites of famous people, images in the arts associated with death, fascinating epitaphs and gravestone carvings, a chronology and a glossary, and over a hundred black-and-white photographs, most of which were taken by the author.Penny Colman writes with compassion and intelligence and humanizes the difficult subjects of death and burial. The result is a powerful look at an inevitable part of life--death.
