Your Child Unique
Learning
Many children
have a dominant learning style, a preferred
way of learning and acting. By tapping
into your child's personality and
understanding the lens through which he or
she best relates to the world, you can help
build a foundation of success and
self-confidence, as well as an increased
desire to learn.

Now he’s fourteen and studying for his World Domination degree,
taking classes like embezzlement, misinformation, forgery, and
infiltration at the institute founded by criminal mastermind Dr.
Phineas Darkkon. Although Cadel may be advanced beyond his

mysterious and brilliant Kay-Lee, he begins to
question the
moral implications of his studies for the first time. But is it
too late to stop Dr. Darkkon from carrying out his evil plot?
An engrossing thriller with darkness

subterfuge where nothing is as it seems.

By
Roni
Schotter - For one magical night, Luisa wants to make her single mother's worries
disappear. Every day after school Luisa goes to
Walter's World of Beauty to watch her mama work— cutting, coloring, and curling
customer's hair, transforming them into the images of their dreams. Mama works
hard
and hardly ever smiles, but when she does, she is the prettiest flower in
all the World. At the end of each day, she puts her tip money in a special
envelopes for Luisa—the envelope marked "college." She wants to give her
daughter the world—but Luisa has plans of her own. It's Mama's birthday and, for
one night, she wants to make Mama smile... the way she smiles in an old
photograph of her dancing at a place called Roseland. So Luisa transforms
Walter's World of Beauty into Roseland, by decorating it with roses and collages
of Mama's customers, who are also in on Luisa's secret. And it isn't long before
everyone is happily dancing, especially Mama, who is the happiest of all.
