Reading is all about brain. The gift of READING is like the gift of HAPPINESS – we can’t tell a child to BE HAPPY. It has to happen intrinsically. We do this by playing in the phonological loop. It is here that we architect a child’s brain so that strong connections are made with white matter neuronal structures that foster a capacity to manipulate concepts and think abstractly. North Flame is a magic journey into imagination – a world where when the book stops the brain continues. DO NOT BE SURPISED when your child will come back a week later and announce that they finally know what the meaning of the journey was. It is a fable in the classic sense, welcoming children into a world of mystery and color with its timeless wisdom, innocence, and spare beauty.

Brilliant A technical masterpiece. When the Independent Party decides to run, not a man but a hologram for president against the sonorous traditional party candidates, life becomes complicated and quirky. But when they have the genius to unearth Thomas Jefferson and his running mate Buffalo Bill, this story takes on an unreal and fascinating demeanor. Captivating, right down to the last page.
