by Phyllis Reynolds NaylorGrowing up--and slimming down--is the tricky proposition in this repackaged installment of the beloved Alice series.The summer before ninth grade is all about getting it right--from head to toe.

But a little too much time standing in front of a mirror in their bathing suits makes Alice, Pamela, and Elizabeth feel the exact opposite of ready for high school. They have two-and-half months to transform themselves--but when Elizabeth starts taking the weight-loss plan too seriously, Alice worries that growing up (and slimming down) isn't all it's cracked up to be.As Alice stumbles her way through the minefield of early adolescence, there are plenty of bumps, giggles, and surprises along the way. Every girl should grow up with Alice, and with this irresistible new look, a whole new generation will want to.

Grootvader is naar de Hemel gegaan
by Amber Richards Ben Van BrandtDit boek voor kinderen, 'Grootvader is naar de Hemel gegaan', is geschreven vanuit een christelijk perspectief voor heel jonge kinderen die een dierbare hebben verloren.

Kinderen stellen zich alles zo concreet voor en de dood kan een heel moeilijk onderwerp zijn om in algemene termen over te praten en zeker nog in een periode van emotionele pijn en verlies. En toch zijn ze op zoek naar antwoorden. Het e-boek werd geschreven als hulpmiddel voor ouders of dierbaren om kinderen te helpen een sterfgeval en de rouwperiode te verwerken. Er staan mooie afbeeldingen in en het heeft aandacht voor het verdriet dat met rouwen gepaard gaat terwijl het toch ook voor hoop en troost zorgt. Het voorwoord van het e-boek is gericht aan de ouders en bevat zowel suggesties om hun kinderen doorheen deze erg pijnlijke periode te helpen, als tips om het e-boek aan te passen aan hun specifieke omstandigheden. Op die manier kan het e-boek ook gebruikt worden voor andere dierbaren, niet alleen voor grootvaders.
