Literature & Fiction

Simon&Schuster

Thirteen-year-old Janet McGiver feels that her life has become too complicated and painful. Her grandmother is ill, her parents fight all the time, and she isn't sure she can trust one of her best friends. More and more, Janet retreats into the world of her favorite soap opera-a world in which problems are resolved quickly and even hospital patients look glamorous. Moving between fantasy and reality, she tries to live as though she were a character in a soap opera, but finds that the real world is much more ambiguous and complex than that of the small screen. Sarah Sargent brings insight as well as humor to her portrayal of an ordinary middle-class girl looking for answers in a world of malls and TV "glitz."

International Child Law

International Child Law examines and discusses the international legal framework and issues relating to children at both a global and regional level. Analysing both public and private international legal aspects, this cross-disciplinary text promotes an understanding of the ongoing development of child law and the protection of the child. This second edition has been substantially updated and revised, and three new chapters have been introduced. Together with new material on sexual exploitation and children’s involvement in armed conflict, a new chapter on indigenous children’s rights responds to the recent United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child remains a central topic, and the mechanisms and policy underlying the Hague Conventions on Intercountry Adoption and Parental International Child Abduction are dealt with in two further chapters. Drawing on a genuine range of legal disciplines, International Child Law is a valuable resource for those in the course of study and research in this area.
