Primera novela oficial de la serie basada en el video juego indie de terror de sigilo: Hello Neighbor , desarrollado por Dynamic Pixels. Nicky Roth siempre ha sido un niño solitario. Los cambios constantes de trabajo de sus padres han provocado que nunca esté en un lugar el suficiente tiempo necesario como para hacer amigos. Todo esto cambia el día en que su familia se establece en Raven Brooks y conoce a sus excéntricos nuevos vecinos, los Peterson, y al hijo de éstos, Aaron, quien se convertirá en su mejor amigo y le mostrará su gran talento para la ingeniería. Pronto los chicos se convertirán en inseparables y utilizarán sus habilidades para explorar aquellos lugares abandonados de la ciudad y para hacer bromas a todos los habitantes del pueblo. Pero hay algo en Aaron que parece desconcertar a Nicky. Todos en el pueblo parecen temerle, a él y a su familia. A través de aquello que cuenta y a la vez esconde Aarón, así como con los descubrimientos que hará en la biblioteca y en el periódico local, Nicky sabrá del oscuro pasado que persigue a sus vecinos y a una condena que parece perseguirles. Después de que Nicky presencie un extraño suceso ante el padre de Aaron, Nicky empieza a plantearse si puede hacer algo para ayudar a sus vecinos y para acabar con la posible tragedia a la que parecen destinados de nuevo los Peterson y, sobre todo, para descubrir qué es lo que esconde su vecino en el sótano.

De stadstuin is niet zomaar een moestuintje. Dit is een Amsterdamse tuin waar de buurt samenkomt en groenten verbouwt. Als de drie zussen Maud, Yara en Britt deze tuin erven, zien ze niet direct reden om elkaar in levenden lijve te ontmoeten. Maar dat blijkt een misvatting. Deze heerlijke feelgoodroman van Anne West is het eerste deel in een trilogie over de zussen, die op humoristische wijze een hoop moderniteiten op de hak neemt.

Published in 1983. One response to the recent concern about pupil discipline in schools has been the creation of support centres: off-site special units to which disruptive pupils are sent for varying periods of time for education and supervision. The Inner London Education Authority had a substantial network of such centres. Yet the concept of these units has aroused some criticism: they have been labelled as ’sin-bins’ and as dumping grounds for adolescents. This book is based on major research conducted by the ILEA over a number of years and provides the only substantial evaluation of support centres. Data are presented on pupil characteristics and attainment, on how the centres operate and on the views of the staff in centres and in referring schools. It concludes with an evaluation of support centres, highlighting a range of innovative approaches to the management of disruptive behaviour. The authors warn of the dangers of developing a separate system for disruptive pupils, but conclude that some form of alternative provision is needed for the foreseeable future.

Published in 1994, Mother’s Intuition? examines the process of choosing secondary schools in two inner London boroughs. The research is based upon detailed interviews with parents as well as questionnaires filled in by pupils themselves. The authors address several important dimensions in the choosing process which had not been investigated by previous research. The book particularly focusses on the main question arising from the interviews; who does the choosing – mother, father or the child? Other areas discussed are the changing nature of families and the role different members in lone parent families play, as well as the different decisions made between families with girls and boys, and those from different racial and ethnic groups.

Drawing an unfavourable contrast between the position of students and graduates with that of their baby boomer parents has become a staple for media comment. Indeed, student indebtedness and difficulties in finding graduate jobs and housing typically contrasts markedly with their parents’ experiences. Broadening the investigation, ‘Helicopter Parenting’ and ‘Boomerang Children’ depicts how students and graduates are now likely to be close to their parents, receive considerable financial and emotional support from them and, upon graduation, return home. Using qualitative data from two interview studies of middle-class families, this title explores the impact of these changes on young people’s transition to independence and adulthood and on intergenerational and intragenerational equality. This enlightening monograph will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in fields such as Social Policy, Family Sociology and Education.

The Shining meets The Conjuring in this scary and suspenseful novel “akin to old Stephen King novels” (School Library Journal). The fact that neither of her parents wants to deal with her is nothing new to Penny. She’s used to being discussed like a problem, a problem her mother has finally passed on to her father. What she hasn’t gotten used to is her stepmother…especially when she finds out that she’ll have to spend the summer with April in the remote woods of Washington to restore a broken-down old house. Set deep in a dense forest, the old Carver House is filled with abandoned antique furniture, rich architectural details, and its own chilling past. The only respite Penny can find away from April’s renovations is in Miller, the young guy who runs the local general store. He’s her only chance at a normal and enjoyable summer. But Miller has his own connection to the Carver house, and it’s one that goes beyond the mysterious tapping Penny hears at her window, the handprints she finds smudging the glass panes, and the visions of children who beckon Penny to follow them into the dark woods. Miller’s past just might threaten to become the terror of Penny’s future…
