        Mr Crow Has to Go to His Wife

        by Rachel van Kooij

        Leo is 17 and Max's big brother. Leo lives in a "limited universe," as Max calls it, so Max has to keep an eye on him. Leo and Max are at home alone when a raven bangs against the windowpane and lies on the ground half dead. He's ringed, so Max can find out where he's from. Leo is convinced that the ring is a wedding ring and Mr. Crow has to go back to his wife to get better. Whenever Leo is convinced of something, nothing and nobody can stop him. He sets off to bring Mr. Crow back to the Raven Research Station, and Max has to come with him whether he likes it or not. It takes a whole day to get there. On their trail they leave: a fake car mechanic, a totalled lawnmower tractor, two Vikings, a cow with a handcart, an ice cream truck, a broken raft, God, once nearly drowning, a quad and a helpful student.

        Chameleon

        Here come the Aspie girls!

        by Christine Deroin,Gilles Martinez

        Alice is a teenager everyone has always described as high-potential without recognizing the depth of her discomfort. Moving and changing middle schools throws her for a loop, bringing out these aspects of her personality. Her admiration for Fanny, star of the class, and her desire to be like her just to be loved, will endanger her and send her world spinning. Asperger syndrome is rarely diagnosed in children, but doing so earlier would not only help teenage girls who have it thrive, but also those around them learn to accept it.

        Dysfferent

        by Fanny Vandermeersch

        What a strange idea to call a child Charlemagne! Without this strange name, Charly is sure that he would be a child like any other... except for a few adjectives. He is said to be too distracted, dissipated, dispersed... to the great displeasure of the adults around him. And that often makes him the mockery of his classmates. Charlemagne is dyslexic, dysorthographic and dyspraxic. But who said that multi-dys children were good for nothing? Maybe it's a chance to be different!

        by C.J. Farley

        In early March 2020 in New Rochelle, New York, teenager Geth Montego is fumbling with the present and uncertain about her future. She only has three friends: her best friend Tovah, who’s been acting weird ever since they started applying to college; Diego, who she wants to ask to prom; and the K-pop band BTS, because the group always seems to be there for her when she needs them (at least in her head). She could use some help now. Geth’s small city becomes one of the first COVID-19 containment zones in the US. As her community is upended by the virus and stirred up by the growing Black Lives Matter protests, Geth faces a choice and a question: Is she willing to risk everything to fight for her beliefs? And if so, what exactly does she believe in? C.J. Farley captures a moment in spring 2020 no teenager will ever forget. It sucks watching the world fall apart. But sometimes you have to start from zero.

        Wordless Picture Books and Guide

        Sentence and Narrative Skills for People with Speech, Language and Communication Needs

        by Kulvinder Kaur

        This series of wordless picture books aims to help children with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) to develop their expressive sentence and narrative skills, through learning to tell each story. There are 10 stories that will be separated into two levels, geared towards advancing the child from simple to intermediate and complex sentences. The stories are written in the style of a film scroll and contain familiar events to ensure the story is understandable.  The general formula of each story is a disruption (often humorous) in familiar routines followed by resolutions.  The accompanying guide will have strategies on how to teach and progress the child through each level and stage, and will have an additional skills section. Although this resource is primarily for SLCN, they could also be used for early years and reception.

        The Game Master

        by Ian D Copsey

        What is it like to be someone else – especially your most hated enemy? Why do they think and do things differently?    Tired of arguing over which of them was the best gamer, Josh and Alex stumbled upon a new video game shop, run by an enigmatic and amiable Japanese shopkeeper. He was to be their Game Master in this virtual reality video game that had no game controls. Little did they know it was a game that would change their lives, of their friends… and enemies… forever.    “Oh! This game is no ordinary game,” The Game Master explained, “It reads your thoughts, seeks out your weaknesses to give challenges that are right just for you, the challenges you need to help you grow.”   "It can read our minds?" puzzled the boys. As they progressed through the game’s levels they found out more about themselves and the lives of everyone around them. Mysteriously, the Game of Life began to spread its influence beyond Josh and Alex’s lives and to their friends.    From Josh and Alex switching roles with each other in the game, campfire frolics and ghostly stories from their teachers, the boys learned more about their friends around them. The Game Master’s zany antics as he hosted a T.V. game show, “Hiro’s Happy Heroes” in the Game of Life, released a string of rib tickling gags, teases and tantalising tattles.   The climax of the Game of Life came from the school Rube Goldberg challenge in which each grade had to join as a team to build their own whacky, madcap contraption. Would Josh and Alex be able to manage to get the two bullies in the class to work within the team?   Patiently, with impish humour, the Game Master guides them through the different levels to a final intriguing twist.
