"He smiled as he moved away in a shimmer of light and sparkling stars" Ben's world is turned upside down when he learns that his dad might be leaving. He goes with his best friend, Kirsty, and her big brown dog, Dancer, to their secret den in the forest, his favourite place in the whole wide world. This is where they meet Angus the Angel who shows them how to deal with fear by charging up their inner power. This has a magical effect on them both and Ben feels strong and happy again. But not for long! Ben hates hearing his parents arguing and loneliness makes things worse when Kirsty gets sick and he can't see her. How can he cope and when will he see Kirsty again? Who can he talk to? Is it true that the den is about to be destroyed by building work? Could it be saved by a mystical secret he has discovered deep in the forest? Most of all though how can he stop his dad from leaving? Why does Angus not step in to help especially if he is a REAL angel? Why is everything getting worse instead of better and why can't things not go back to the way they used to be? Everything is falling apart and Ben feels as if his beloved cat, Molly, is the only one in his family who cares about him. He feels lost, alone and afraid.

Jonathan Safran Foer meets Jeffrey Moussaieff Mason in a poignant, provocative memoir of survival, compassion, and awakening to the reality of our food system.Jenny Brown was ten years old when she lost a leg to bone cancer. Throughout the ordeal, her constant companion was a cat named Boogie. Years later, she would make the connection between her feline friend and the farm animals she ate, acknowledging that most of America's domesticated animals live on industrialized farms, and are viewed as mere production units. Raised in a conservative Southern Baptist family in Kentucky, Brown had been taught to avoid asking questions. But she found her passion and the courage to speak out.The Lucky Ones introduces readers to Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary which Brown established with her husband in 2004. With a cast of unforgettable survivors, including a fugitive slaughterhouse cow named Kayli; Albie, the three-legged goat; and Quincy, an Easter duckling found abandoned in New York City, The Lucky Ones reveals shocking statistics about the prevalence of animal abuse throughout America's agribusinesses. Blending wry humor with unflinching honesty, Brown brings a compelling new voice to the healthy-living movement-and to the vulnerable, voiceless creatures among us.

A small book to help parents recover their clarity and confidence. It focusses on how parents can manage themselves effectively rather than the common focus on understanding and managing the child. A timely book for parenting children of all ages.
