The sixth book in the Tamar Black series. Is Denny Sanger the sexiest man in the world? This, and other crucial questions, are now being asked by the world's press (and secret government agencies?)

And, as if that wasn't enough, Tamar is having so much fun going shopping and painting her nails that Denny is going absolutely crazy trying to convince her that she is ... ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY As the wedding approaches, and the strain is beginning to tell on Tamar and Denny, their friends are beginning to wonder if they will make it to the church (this time) And then they discover that they are not the only ones out there saving the world.
The final book in the Tamar Black saga. Denny should never have crashed the mainframe! Rebooting was the easy bit, making sure all the deleted files didn't reboot was a little harder. He should have been more careful. Now the mythological age is back, in fact, it never went away. The Greek gods are still on Mount Olympus. And the clerks in mainframe are furious and insisting that Tamar and Denny fix it. Right now! The only problem is, they have to go back to when the age of myths was supposed to have ended and make sure that it does. Well, that's not the only problem...
"All The World's A Stage" Tamar's back! And this time, she's off the chart and travelling without a map. There are Faeries in the woods and they're not the cute little wingéd creatures from the stories your mummy read to you. Faeries are, at best, con artists and tricksters. And at worst, homicidal maniacs. And these Faeries are out to take over the world. Just for the fun of it.

Written by an experienced educational and developmental psychologist, ACT for Treating Children offers clinicians clear, practical, brief, and developmentally appropriate strategies grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help children ages 5 to 12 learn effective coping skills, manage emotions, and bounce back from life's difficulties. If you treat children struggling with mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety, you know that approaches designed for adults do not work with younger clients. ACT for Treating Children presents skills grounded in evidence-based ACT to help children regulate emotions and cope with the inevitable ups and downs of life, and is suitable for clinicians with no prior knowledge of or training in ACT, as well as seasoned ACT clinicians. This practical clinician’s guide outlines a simplified version of the ACT Hexaflex—a key component of this treatment model—called the Kidflex, to help young clients build resilience and psychological flexibility. You’ll also find detailed case studies, transcripts, activities, experiential exercises, worksheets, and session plans to help you develop the skillset you need to help children overcome disorders such as stress, anxiety and depression. Finally, you’ll find strategies for involving parents in treatment when appropriate, and enlisting them as ‘ACT coaches’ in the child’s therapy. It can be difficult to know where to start when using ACT for individual therapy with children. That’s why the skills in this go-to guide are practical and easy-to-implement, can be done with children in both face-to-face therapy and online sessions, and are simple enough for children to put into practice in any setting—whether it’s at home, in school, or out in the world.
