Book Description
Life has not been kind to Robyn Johnson. About to turn sixteen, Robyn lives in a group home for girls in the city of Nottingham, which is rapidly becoming an urban nightmare. When Robyn is witness to yet another crime, something snaps in her, and she takes matters into her own hands, to out- standing results. The surprising part is, Robyn likes not only the deed but also its profitable outcome. Is that so wrong? The stakes heighten when Robyn catches wind of a larger plot to destroy the city she loves as her classmate Marcus, an unaware apprentice reporter, tails her as both suitor and newsman. Based on the classic tale Robin Hood, this novel tells the story of Robyn and her band of "Merry Men," a trio of teenage misfits who assist as she robs from the bad and gives to the good in an effort to save the 'hood. "I thought I didn't like to read, but this book was hard to put down. I couldn't believe how much Robyn's life was like my own." -Teisha Williams, high school student "Many of my students read Robyn's 'Hood and loved it - so did I. As both a reader and an educator, I highly recommend it." -Leslie Lipton, teacher Originally from Jackson, Mississippi, Tom Nelson is a successful screenwriter with produced credits in series television, movies-of-the-week and feature films. For the last eight years, Tom has also taught high school to at-risk teenagers in Los Angeles, California. He is particularly interested in reluctant readers, those who would rather jump off a bridge than pick up a book. Robyn's 'Hoodis for them.

Book Description
Have you ever sat down with your coffee to enjoy a new book to discover it was too flowery or too hard a read for you? Well this is definitely not that book; this book is full of wee poems written in Scottish slang as the Scots tongue and poetry is close to my heart and would like everyone to enjoy some writings of my home land. I am sure you will easily understand without a translator, and very easy to read. The childrens poems mostly have little moral endings to teach simple lessons like being careful crossing the road, keeping your teeth clean and doing as you are asked. You will enjoy the exploits of many mischievous woodland beasts along with stories of gnomes and elves. Your children will slip off peacefully to sleep and dream their own magical fantasies. This book will make you laugh and cry but hopefully most of you will enjoy these easy to read poems. Robyns Gran

Book Description
The study and practice of juvenile law is inherently interdisciplinary--a successful practitioner must understand not only the legal implications in the field, but also have a solid grounding in child psychology, child development, neuroscience, sociology, criminology, and social work. The best child-advocates in the law have a firm familiarity with and understanding of the value these other disciplines provide. Children and the Law is a unique coursebook that will revolutionize the way students learn and apply juvenile law. By incorporating the interdisciplinary topics necessary to understand the best practices in child law, author Katherine Federle has carefully selected a vast array of articles, studies, research, cases and statutes that allow students to best understand the law and also help bridge the divide between theory and practice. The book is separated into four main sections: Children and Crime, Children and Protection, Children and Restraints on Freedom, and Children and Decision-Making. Each section in Children and the Law also includes a series of questions, exercises, and problems that encourage students to critically examine legal doctrine and policy in light of available scientific and socio-scientific scholarship.
