In the vein of Big Little Lies, Nina Monroe's suspense debut explores the dangerous side of suburbia. Nothing ever happens in a sleepy town like Middlebrook. Until the residents are shaken to their core, when one hot Saturday afternoon, at a back-to-school party, nine children sneak into a barn...and only eight come out unharmed. The press immediately starts asking questions. What type of parents let their children play unsupervised in a house with guns? What kind of child pulls the trigger on their friend? And most importantly: of the nine children who were present in that barn, which one actually pulled the trigger, and why are the others staying silent? Incredibly gripping and gorgeously written, this thought-provoking novel asks how much our children are capable of, and how far we will go to protect them.

"Can it be shown that learning our first language, like any other skill, is a personal work of art emerging from the interaction of body and brain, in making one 'common sense' of the world? Through exploring the basic structure and dynamics of language can we rediscover it as the resolution of a creative synthesis?" In searching for the child's learning secret, or conversely the adult's burden of "innocence lost," the author explores examples of both everyday skills and scientific knowledge to discover his "quartet of consciousness." He shows how this quarrelsome four-the artist and idealist of the arts and the theorist and empiricist of the sciences-emerge naturally through how feel, think, experiment and act, and remerge creatively in language. It challenges academics to recognize the limitations of "nature versus nurture" debates in learning psychology and even biology. Through clear and simple images, van Koeverden presents a unique and dynamic understanding of learning-bringing a delightful new voice into the discussion.

Every parent brings her/his child into the world wishing that the child will be healthy, happy, and successful. What is SUCCESS and what is the SECRET of being successful? There are two different ideas in the education world. Does the child develop a personality "by nature or by nurture?" Even if we accept both views to a certain degree, we need to know that every minute, we can educate and change ourselves by improving our brain's functioning. In recent years, even people who were raised under difficult conditions have been able to find opportunities to improve and educate themselves, thanks to self-help books. This book draws on my educational and professional experience on child psychology as well as on information derived from other helpful books. We should perform our parenthood duties as set forth in the famous Khalil Gibran poem, "Children". At the end of my book, an unexpected surprise will surprise you. Please read until the end of my book to learn what the surprise is.
