    The Devil Hides in Plain Sight…

    He was my childhood crush. I was his best friend’s little sister.

    I had no idea that when I got into a stolen car with Reynolds McAllister, it would cause me a lifetime of pain.

    Physical.
    Emotional.
    Chemical.

    There’s no escaping my injuries from that night. I can cover the scars, but the limp in my leg is a constant reminder of what he did to me. The law may have punished him for his crime, but there’s only one thing that’s managed to help me function; a steady, addictive stream of painkillers.

    Stealing is what Reyn McAllister does. Objects, cars, hearts.

    Or I did, until I was sent away for breaking Vandy Hall.

    I spent three long, hard years paying for my crime; first at juvie, then at military school. It wasn’t nearly long enough, but now I’m returning home to Preston Prep and to my childhood home next door to the girl I never meant to hurt.

    It should be easy for us to avoid one another. We have nothing in common, except her brother and a single tragic night. But, when an opportunity arises at Preston to revive the Devils, we make a deal that will seal our fate once and for all.

    Sometimes, the person you know the best is the one who’s hurt you most.

    05

    There are few things that symbolise British culture better than the good old-fashioned pub. Over centuries, their colourful hanging signs have become an integral part of the country’s backdrop. But how much do you really know about the names of these pubs, and how they came to have them?

    Have you ever found yourself at the Red Lion, the Swan with Two Necks, the Jolly Roger, the Golden Fleece or the Beetle & Wedge, and stopped to wonder how it came by its name? Or what that name might reveal about the history of the building?

    The answers to all these questions, and hundreds more, are contained with A Dictionary of Pub, Inn and Tavern Signs.

    Here you’ll find out how public drinking houses have changed through history, progressing from the simple custom of hanging grapes outside to boards depicting a name and illustration; how, after the Norman Conquest, some inn-keepers found themselves obliged to display elements of their new lord’s coat of arms – a lion, griffin, deer or hart; how some pubs’ names (the Plough & Harrow or the Three Horseshoes, for example), came to represent the livelihoods of many of the inn’s customers.

    This illustrated reference book, arranged alphabetically, provides a brief guide to the meaning, origin and history of these names and sheds light on an important part of Britain’s heritage.

  • A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment for Severe, Complex and Profound Learning Disabilities (Connecting Research with Practice in Special and Inclusive Education)

    A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment links a theoretical pedagogical model with a sympathetic practical model of curriculum and assessment difference for those with PMLD, CLD and SLD.

    Split into two parts, this accessible resource combines theoretical explanations with first-hand accounts of how this works in educational establishments, through the analysis of evidence-based practice carried out in a number of English special (specialist) schools. The expert authors challenge the notion that a national, or common core standards, curriculum, however expertly differentiated, is fit-for-purpose for the PMLD, CLD and SLD populations in any country. A Different View offers cogent and reasoned arguments for considering that irrespective of age, such learners learn differently to their neuro-typical, conventionally developing peers. If they learn differently, this book shows how we should be teaching them differently.

    Reflecting the centrality of process over product, this book will clearly explain how each individual learner might be enabled and facilitated to become the best they can be and do the best they can do, in order to fully realise their potential as equal and independent citizens.

  • A Different Way to Learn: Neurodiversity and Self-Directed Education

    08

    ‘If you are a parent worrying whether self-directed education will work for your child, because you have been told that they have special needs which can only be met in the school system – think again’
    Neurodivergent children experience and interact with the world differently to many of their peers. Standard educational systems often fail to adapt to their unique strengths and ways of learning. School, and even the act of learning, can become a source of great anxiety and trauma. Self-directed education offers an alternative to traditional schools that can help neurodivergent children develop at their own pace and thrive.

    Blending theory, practical advice and lived experience, clinical psychologist Naomi Fisher introduces the world of self-directed learning and tailoring the learning environment to your child.

    This comprehensive overview of self-directed learning is packed with ideas on how to implement it at home and includes interviews from parents of neurodivergent children on how you can make learning differently work for you and your child

  • A Dirty Guide to a Clean Home: Housekeeping Hacks You Can’t Live Without

    Everything you need to know about laundry, cleaning, and basic home repairs–from the TikTok star who made bluing a thing, showed you how to fold a fitted sheet, and taught you to properly use your (caulk) gun.

    “[Melissa Pateras] makes chores enjoyable in her bawdy debut. . . . Doing laundry has never sounded so fun.”–Publishers Weekly

    Melissa Dilkes Pateras is the most competent housekeeper, DIY-project master, and home repair genius that you’ve ever fantasized about becoming.

She doesn’t expect you to know what you were never taught, and she doesn’t care about transforming your home into a minimal, beige Instagram post; she simply wants to help make your life easier.

    Whether you’re terrified of your laundry pile or have an inner handyperson who’s been longing for their moment, A Dirty Guide to a Clean Home is a joyful all-purpose guide to organizing, cleaning, laundry, repairs, and beyond. As Melissa says, “Your home shouldn’t be your adversary.”
