Think Yourself Gorgeous: How to feel good inside and out order quantity

NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author: Anita Naik
In Stock: 10
Young girls entering puberty often experience a crisis of confidence which, if ignored, can lead to life-long issues. In THINK YOURSELF GORGEOUS, experienced agony aunt Anita Naik shows that low self-esteem and bad body image happens to everyone, no matter how they behave in public (including the most popular girls). And she demonstrates why it pays to love the real you, warts and all. Focusing on issues of weight, beauty, peer pressure, stress, body image, puberty and emotions, THINK YOURSELF GORGEOUS will help young girls to understand why their idea of themselves is taking a downward turn, why it is natural for them to feel that way, and what they can do about it. Packed with bodylicious tips, quotes from other teenagers and practical advice, it will address all the tricky areas that can damage a girl's confidence and help them learn to feel gorgeous inside and out.

Paperback
Author: Susan Brocker

This is the true story of the Kiwi war horses of the First World War. The jet-black mare galloped wildly across the scorching white sands, the guns and shells exploding around her with a deafening roar. Her master spurred her on, his legs tightly gripping her heaving sides. With foam-flecked lips and ears laid flat, she thundered on through the flying bullets and choking dust ...Every ANZAC Day we celebrate our heroes. Until now the story of the loyal horses who carried our troops in the desert war of WWI has remained untold. This is their story - and the story of Bess, the only horse to return to New Zealand from the Middle East. Bess and her companions overcame their fear, standing by their masters in the battlefield, in harsh desert conditions. Brave Bess and the ANZAC Horses tells the tale of these valiant horses and the essential part they played in the war.

This fictional diary records the tragedy, heroism and bitter aftermath of the worst industrial disaster in New Zealand's history - the Brunner Mine Disaster of 1896. The son of a coalminer from Lancashire who is working in the Brunner mine, Tommy is a typical boy living in the West Coast mining community of Dobson. He catches eels, plays cornet in the local band and looks forward to leaving school and getting a job. But he is not keen to follow his uncle down into the Brunner mine, with its hardships and ever-present danger.
Tommy has been sent a journal from his maternal grandmother back in England, with the request that he fill it in over the following 12 months and then send it back to her; the idea being that she will in this way get to know the grandson she has never met.

NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Leon Davidson
In Stock: 3
The First World War was only meant to last six months.
When the Australians and New Zealanders arrived at the Western Front in 1916, the fighting had been going for a year and a half and there was no end in sight.
The men took their places in a line of trenches dug throughout Belgium and France from the North Sea to the Swiss Alps.
Beyond the trenches was no-man's-land, and beyond that was the German Army.
The Anzacs had sailed for France to fight a war the whole world was talking about. Few who came home ever spoke of it again.

A superb true story about the courage and loyalty of a dog and his handler in wartime.
When the Zealand Rifle Brigade marched down Queen Street to board their transport ship to the Western Front, they were led by their mascot, a bulldog named Caesar. One of those waving him farewell was four-year-old Ida, whose favourite ribbon had been tied to Caesar's collar by his handler, her Uncle Tom. Trained as a Red Cross dog, Caesar rescued wounded soldiers from the hell of no-man's-land. Uncle Tom wrote home about their adventures to Ida, who eventually passed the stories on to her children and grandchildren. Patricia Stroud, Ida's daughter, tells the poignant story of an unsung Kiwi hero, and a little-known aspect of the First World War. First published for younger readers, Caesar's story has been expanded to include Gallipoli and the Western Desert.

One day, not so very many years ago, a small peasant boy was chosen to study ballet at the Beijing Dance Academy. His mother urged him to take this chance of a lifetime.
But Li was only eleven years old and he was scared and lonely, pushed away from all that he had ever known and loved.
