Behind Closed Doors: SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING
Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing 'Brilliant . . . I love this book' LEMN SISSAY 'A must-read book' JACQUELINE WILSON 'Extraordinary' OLIVER BULLOUGH 'Everyone should read this book' HILARY COTTAM 'Important' IAN BIRRELL 'Vital' HANNAH JANE PARKINSON Meet the mother whose children were taken away, and the father who fought for his son. Listen to the radical social worker, the judge, the lawyer. See inside the homes of foster carers, adoptive parents and children in care. Because behind closed doors, a scandal is ongoing. We now remove more children from their parents than ever before. Children's Care is a system where fathers are ignored, and mothers are punished for experiencing abuse. Rife with prejudices about race, ableism and class, determined by a postcode lottery. Blind to poverty and its effects on family life. And, at its very worst, an exercise in social engineering that can never replace parental love. From North to South, rich and poor, Black and white, these are the people who know, first-hand, what is going wrong - and how we can fix it.

Black Diamonds: A Child's Joy and Loss
One generation saw the flood, another the fire, and now our generation is facing the same judgment as the generations of Noah and Lot for the same type of sins as their sins were fire, hail, earthquakes, darkness, and death. In this short period of time, one shall see the rise of BABYLON, THE GREAT, the destruction of the Antichrist and False Prophet, the binding of Satan in hell 1000 years after the battle of Armageddon, the nests in outer space fetched back, and the judgment of the living as the Lord Jesus Christs sits on the throne of His Glory in Jerusalem judging. Multiply and replenish the earth, for the new time of peace on the earth has come, the curse bing lifted, too.

Find your freedom. A riveting, magical adventure set deep underneath a richly reimagined London for 9+ readers.

Specifically, a ghost-girl named Alma. Alma, who can ride clouds through the night sky and bend their shape to her will, befriends Luke. And with Alma's help, Luke discovers he is in fact a rare being - half-human and half-something else ... Then Luke learns the terrible truth of why children are being kidnapped and forced to work in the power station, and he becomes even more desperate to escape. Can Luke find out who he really is ... and find his freedom?
Helping Abused and Traumatized Children
Presenting an integrative model for treating traumatized children, this book combines play, art, and other expressive therapies with ideas and strategies drawn from cognitive-behavioral and family therapy. Eliana Gil demonstrates how to tailor treatment to the needs of each child by using both directive and nondirective approaches. Throughout, practical clinical examples illustrate ways to target trauma-related symptomatology while also helping children process painful feelings and memories that are difficult to verbalize. The book concludes with four in-depth cases that bring to life the unique situation of each child and family, the decision-making process of the therapist, and the applications of developmentally informed, creative, and flexible interventions.
