Book Description
First published in 1996. This volume offers a new vision for fulfilment in the workplace. Both corporations and individuals will learn how to re-examine their traditional corporate ideologies and replace them with the human side of the business, a necessity for building healthy work environments. This text defines change as more than applying the latest quick-fix program. Change requires embracing the shadows and a change of heart. A result of 25 year's of leadership and organisational research and experience. This essential reading for organisations who wish to increase morale and productivity, as well as for individuals looking for personal meaning in the workplace.

Book Description
Everyone deserves to shine in this sparkling book about a girl who's trying to find her place in the universe--and middle school--from the New York Times bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library! Shine on! might be the catchphrase of twelve-year-old Piper's hero--astronaut, astronomer, and television host Nellie Dumont Frisse--but Piper knows the truth: some people are born to shine, and she's just not one of them. That fact has never been clearer than now, when her dad's new job has landed them both at Chumley Prep, a posh private school where everyone seems to be the best at something and where Piper definitely doesn't fit in. Bursting with humor, heart, science, possibilities, and big questions, Shine! is a story about finding your place in the universe--a story about figuring out who you are and who you want to be. BONUS! Science experiment included!

Book Description
In this “remarkable novel,” two young women face towering adversity amid the historic spectacle of the 1939 New York World’s Fair (Lynda Cohen Loigman, author of The Two-Family House). Vivi Holden is closer than ever to becoming a lead Hollywood actress—until an unfair turn of events sends her back to New York. Desperate for a chance to return to L.A., she sets out to perform at the upcoming World’s Fair. It won’t be easy, but her summer in New York will help her finally find her own way, on her own terms . . . Maxine Roth dreams of becoming a serious journalist at the iconic New York Times. But instead, she’s landed a post at the pop-up publication dedicated to covering the World’s Fair. Once again, she finds her big ideas are continually overlooked by her male counterparts. But she’s worked far too hard to sit on the sidelines. When Max and Vivi’s worlds collide, they forge an enduring friendship. One that shows them to be the daring, bold women they are. In the most meaningful summer of their lives, they will learn to never stop holding on to what matters most.

Book Description
When her best guy friend falls victim to a vicious hate crime, sixteen-year-old Cat sets out to discover who in her small town did it. Richly atmospheric, this daring mystery mines the secrets of a tightly knit Southern community and examines the strength of will it takes to go against everyone you know in the name of justice. Against a backdrop of poverty, clannishness, drugs, and intolerance, Myracle has crafted a harrowing coming-of-age tale couched in a deeply intelligent mystery. Smart, fearless, and compassionate, this is an unforgettable work from a beloved author. Praise for Shine “Cat eventually uncovers the truth in a cliffhanging climax in which she confronts fear, discovers that love is stronger than hate and truly ‘shines.’ Raw, realistic and compelling.” –Kirkus Reviews “The page-turning mystery and Cat’s inspiring trajectory of self-realization will draw readers in and give them plenty to ponder.” –The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Dramatic in both content and presentation." –Los Angeles Times “Myracle captures well the regret that many feel for things in their past about which they are ashamed. Cat’s reflections on these moments are spot-on.” –School Library Journal AWARD: WINNER: Amelia Elizabeth Walden Award for young adult fiction YALSA 2014 Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults
