Raising a preteen can sneak up on you. Best friends can turn into crushesÑor bulliesÑovernight, and suddenly everything you do is so embarrassing. Connecting with someone who not so long ago was your baby and now only responds in shrugs and eye-rolls is difficult, but open, respectful communication is exactly what a preteen needs. In Mom, I'm Not a Kid Anymore, Sue Sanders guides by example, in 25 conversations and moments she has shared with her daughter, Lizzie. Everything is fair game: ¥ÒTell me about your mean girl.Ó ¥ÒYou and Dad do that?Ó ¥ÒWhen can I get Facebook?Ó ¥ÒDo you believe in God?Ó ¥ÒI got a 3 on my essay.Ó ¥ÒYou wouldn't understandÒ As Lizzie figures out who she is and Sue does her best to keep up, the conversations and milestones are sometimes unexpected, sometimes awkward, but always honest. With refreshing wit, candor, and self-awareness, Sanders reminds us to trust our intuition, keep an open mind, and answer those questions we can to help our preteens navigate growing upÑand maybe learn a thing or two about ourselves in the process.

A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what Chinese parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it... Amy Chua's daughters, Sophia and Louisa (Lulu) were polite, interesting and helpful, they had perfect school marks and exceptional musical abilities. The Chinese-parenting model certainly seemed to produce results. But what happens when you do not tolerate disobedience and are confronted by a screaming child who would sooner freeze outside in the cold than be forced to play the piano? Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how you can be humbled by a thirteen-year-old. Witty, entertaining and provocative, this is a unique and important book that will transform your perspective of parenting forever.

Laura "It is very rare for a book to have its characters live beyond the pages, and at the same time let it transcend its own genre into something else. Crimson Knightfall does that, and more. Five Stars read for me." - The Readera "Crimson Knightfall is what we called a true page turner. Amazingly woven like an interesting spell. I didn't think this book was going to be this good. It was , as you might expect , engaging , a total different piece of art from every aspect. It sets a very high bar for whatever he does that comes next." Santosh Yadav "Action and adventure books and binge-reading go hand in hand. It’s just science: A fast-paced, exciting story gets your blood pumping and adrenaline rushing, which in turn keeps your eyes glued to the pages as you tear through them. If that sounds like your kind of weekend, Crimson Knightfall: Everything Burns by T. P. A.
