Author: Leila Sales
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
ISBN: 0374381003
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
A novel about public shaming in the internet age, the power of words, the cumulative destructiveness of microaggressions, and the pressing need for empathy. Before we go any further, I want you to understand this: I am not a good person. We all want to be seen. We all want to be heard. But what happens when we’re seen and heard saying or doing the wrong things? When Winter Halperin—former spelling bee champion, aspiring writer, and daughter of a parenting expert—gets caught saying the wrong thing online, her life explodes. All across the world, people know what she’s done, and none of them will forgive her. With her friends gone, her future plans cut short, and her identity in shambles, Winter is just trying to pick up the pieces without hurting anyone else. She knows she messed up, but does that mean it’s okay for people to send her hate mail and death threats? Did she deserve to lose all that she’s lost? And is “I’m sorry” ever good enough? Decide for yourself.

How do you get people who work in pig abattoirs to wash their hands? How does painting the walls of a canteen pink make construction workers behave more safely?

By applying behavioural science in your working life, you can have positive ripple effects on the world around you.

Through storytelling and practical tips, Ripple takes you on a journey across the globe which will leave you inspired to start applying behavioural science to improve the world around you. www.ripple-book.com

Book Description
With her trademark warmth and powerful characters, Winter's Daughter is a stunning new Victorian saga - about a young child separated from her mother, and the family who bring her in from the cold. 'As always, Val tells it from the heart . . . A stirring story of faith, hope and charity will enthral you' Peterborough Telegraph Hull, 1856.

When, during one stormy night, there is a flood in a nearby cellar - a popular shelter for the homeless - James rushes to help. Among those rescued is a dark-haired little girl who speaks a language no one can understand. Some say that she came to the cellar with her mother, but no one knows where the mother is now. Concerned for the child's safety, James is unsure of what to do. Where has the girl's mother disappeared to? And what can be done to help the homeless who have lost the only shelter they knew? A stunning new story of family, love and the importance of kindness, from the Sunday Times bestselling author Val Wood.

Pages : 119
Book Description
Georgie is really looking forward to a week’s relaxation by the sea with no work and no worries — just sun, sea, and sky at a 60s-style beach party with her friends. It sounds too good to be true! Unfortunately, it is. A desperate woman reads about her in the local media and comes to find the gypsy fortune-teller who might be able to help her locate her partner’s missing child. Georgie can’t say ‘no’ to anyone who really needs help, and especially someone who has lost a child. She takes one look at the photo of six-year-old Marylou with her father on happier days and instantly agrees to help. What she doesn’t count on is that perennial pest, TV presenter Jaxx Saxby, turning up to jeopardize her whole investigation. Jaxx’s agenda is twofold: one, to win Georgie’s brother Jerry for herself (dismissing the fact that Tammy has a prior claim) and two, to figure out what Georgie is up to so she can use it on her show. With romance in the air, a difficult case to solve, and Jaxx Saxby to avoid, Georgie soon finds that she’s never been so busy—or, as it turns out, so wrong about everything. Will she be able to fix things in time?
