  Rymer Strauss and his dad were looking for kids's books that teach about business, but they couldn’t find any. There were surprised when they couldn’t find books that teach kids what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. The truth is, there just aren’t many books that teach young people how to start their own business or how to think about money.So Rymer decided to write one, and that’s where “The Big Money Squeeze” started. He believes other kids deserve to learn how to take charge of achieving their own goals and to be inspired to start businesses. He doesn’t think you have to be in college or even high school to learn how to manage money. Kids in elementary school can start thinking about these things too.Rymer is a go-getter in real life. After successfully building nearly every Lego set ever created, he recently took on the task of building the Death Star. Amazingly, it is still in one piece despite his little sister, his brothers, and all his friends who like to play with it!

  This is the story of women who fought during WWI, but not as nurses or ambulance drivers. 
    
  In 1917 sixteen-year-old Jean McLain is working as a post-office assistant in England. But when she wins a national Morse code competition, the British army makes a request Jean cannot refuse – to take a secret position as a signaller in France. 
  If Jean can keep the signals flowing between headquarters and the soldiers at the Front, Britain might possibly win the war. 
  But the British army are determined to hide its desperation – and will go on to burn every document that showed how women and girls were working behind the scenes, in the trenches and even in battles during World War I. 
  Decades later, an old woman tells the story of 'the telegraph girl': the friends she lost, the man who loved her, and the happiness she so surprisingly found again. 
  Based on true events, this story of adventure, courage and unshakable loyalty restores women and girls to their place in history that the authorities tried to erase.AWARDS

  This is the Māori language edition of Tāwhaki: The Deeds of a Demigod. The book recalls the miraculous life of Tāwhaki. Similar to Māui, Tāwhaki was a demigod who possessed mighty powers. Tāwhaki almost died at the hands of his brothers-in-law but was found by his wife Hine-piripiri and revived. This near-death experience revealed Tāwhaki's status as a demigod, and from this point Tāwhaki continued to use his powers and gifts to help those around him in ways no human could. This book explores many of these stories, including those of Tāwhaki restoring sight to his blind grandmother and climbing the heavens to find his wife and child.
