FOREWORD BY JACQUELINE WILSON When two people say the same word it can mean two different things: to Angela they were sparrows because they were cheeky, cocky, common as sparrows; to Olivia nothing was common . . . Someone has been digging up the private garden in gracious Mortimer Square. Miss Angela Chesney of the Garden Committee is sure that a gang of local boys is to blame, but her sister Olivia isn't so sure. Watching the teeming city from her window, she wonders why the neighbourhood children - 'sparrows', she calls them - have to be locked out. Lovejoy Mason - fierce, scrappy, unloved - knows how it feels to be an outsider. But a stolen packet of cornflower seeds sends her in search of some 'good garden earth' - and on a journey that will lead to a struggling restaurant, a bombed-out church, and, at the heart of it all, a hidden garden. 'A masterpiece' JACQUELINE WILSON'Godden's rich understanding of human nature, her humour and her beautiful prose inevitably leave one aglow' CHICAGO TRIBUNE'Godden here tries her deft writing hand at landscaping a child's heart' TIME

How do you track down a murderer at a training camp for assassins?

From generational icon Brooke Shields comes an intimate and empowering exploration of ageing that flips the script on the idea of what it means for a woman to grow older Brooke Shields has spent a lifetime in the public eye. Growing up as a child actor and model, her every feature was scrutinised, her every decision judged. Today Brooke faces a different kind of scrutiny: that of being a 'woman of a certain age'. And yet, for Brooke, the passage of time has brought freedom. At fifty-nine, she feels more comfortable in her skin, more empowered and confident than she did decades ago in those famous Calvin Kleins. Now, in Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old, she's changing the narrative about women and ageing. This is an era, insists Brooke, when women are reclaiming agency and power, not receding into the shadows. These are the years when we get to decide how we want to live - when we get to write our own stories. With remarkable candour, Brooke bares all, painting a vibrant and optimistic picture of being a woman in the prime of her life, while dismantling the myths that have, for too long, dimmed that perception. Sharing her own life experiences with humour and humility, and weaving together research and reporting, Brooke takes aim at the systemic factors that contribute to age-related bias. By turns inspiring, moving, and galvanising, Brooke's honesty and vulnerability will resonate with women everywhere, and spark a new conversation about the power and promise of midlife.

Case Study from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, , course: ESL/EFL, language: English, abstract: In terms of second language acquisition (L2), those language learning participants who are able to participate in overseas business trips, coupled with formal instruction, appear to make the most gains. Conversely, those who do not participate in such events, even when coupled with formal instruction, appear to fossilize or plateau, if they do not recognize some other use for L2. The purpose of this case study was to examine the factors affecting the L2 acquisition of one specific individual (Mr. T) located in Japan, in order to determine how and if the participant¿s level of communicative competence could be improved upon. This case study utilized oral classroom work, informal taped interviews and participant observation and drew on the available linguistics literature to present possible implications for instructors working with individuals in similar EFL circumstances. Not surprisingly, for intrinsic motivation and L2 acquisition, a student must be understood as both part of his/her cultural group as well as individually. An examination of the available literature showed that it was possible to overcome behaviours that limited L2 acquisition. This study also strongly suggested that the quality of personal relationships affected participants¿ level of intrinsic motivation.

It's 1964 in the tiny town of Eastport, Maine, and Billy McCadie is bored to death. She's surrounded by Jell-O salads and dull people with more etiquette than sense, with absolutely no sign of the intrigue or romance that fill the pages of her beloved novel collection. That is, until an engagement ring and cryptic love letter turn up, addressed to 'Gertrude'. As Billy gets pulled ever-deeper into in a bizarre and stranger-than-fiction mystery that the local police can't begin to handle, and despite sorely lacking Nancy Drew's effortless charm or Miss Marple's social graces, she finds herself with no choice but to put on her detective hat. But as the body count rises and the danger starts to feel ever closer to home, why does it feel like she's much more than just a side character? Is someone trying to mess with her, frame her, or write her out for good? And after so long yearning to be in the action rather than reading it, and with the only man with two brain cells in Eastport within her reach, would it be so terribly unladylike for her to have some fun of her own?

With a foreword by McLaren CEO Zak Brown and written with inside access, this is the real-time, unfolding story of one of F1's greatest ever teams, as they rise back up from oblivion. Few names in motorsports carry the same authority as McLaren and, with their remarkable victory in the 2024 constructors championship, they are now returning to form in a spectacular way under the leadership of Zak Brown. Going into 2023, Brown's team were the second slowest on the grid, only to end it as arguably the second fastest, after a dramatic mid-season turnaround. In 2024, their driver Lando Norris achieved his first ever Grand Prix win in Miami, and McLaren fiercely competed for podiums against Ferrari and Red Bull. Zak Brown took over a failing team from Ron Dennis in 2018, and his strategic vision is now seeing results. McLaren are on the rise again, looking to a future that will echo its hallowed past and legendary drivers James Hunt, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton. With access to the team's inner sanctum, this exhilarating account delves deep into McLaren's history, revealing how their rich heritage forms the core of their identity today, before taking us behind the scenes to give us the inside track on their extraordinary resurgence. Guided by the motto motto 'Forever Forward', McLaren has a tradition of coming back from adversity time and time again to take the chequered flag against all the odds. Here they go again.

Kaleidoscopic, full of style and soul' Raven Leilani'A no-bullshit must-read debut' Kaveh AkbarIn Berlin's underground, where techno rattles buildings still scarred with the violence of the last century, nineteen-year-old Nila finds her tribe. In their company she can escape the parallel city that made her, the public housing block packed with refugees and immigrants, where the bathrooms are infested with silverfish and the walls outside are graffitied with swastikas. Escaping into the clubs, Nila tries to outrun the shadow of her dead mother, once a feminist revolutionary; her catatonic, defeated father; and the cab-driver uncles who seem to idle on every corner. To anyone who asks, her family is Greek, not Afghani. And then Nila meets American writer Marlowe Woods, whose literary celebrity, though fading, opens her eyes to a world of patrons and festivals, one that imbues her dreams of life as an artist with new possibility. But as she finds herself drawn further into his orbit and ugly, barely submerged tensions begin to roil and claw beneath the city's cosmopolitan veneer, everything she hopes for, hates, and believes about herself will be challenged.'Rarely has the wildness and bewilderment of youth been conveyed with such richly textured heat' Garth Greenwell
