Becoming Hero (Version With Comics)

By: Jen Finelli

SKYE is the storm-tossed comic character out for revenge on the author who murdered his family. JACE is the math-loving #blerd trying to escape his father's deadly legacy. When their worlds collide, Jace must choose between the real world he's always hated, and the comic book world he's always loved - and Skye must decide if killing his author will save his world...or damn his soul. This special edition showcases full-color comics illustrated by Annie Chen - creating lines between the real world, and the comic book world for the hero to escape. Inside each copy you will find the unsolved literary cipher of the century, designed by mathematics PhD Daniel Weingard; BECOMING HERO was a semi-finalist in the nationwide cinematic novel competition, and both of the voice actors for the audiobook have won performance awards. Why so meta? Skye's a comic book superhero with a gun in his hand and a gripe against his author. Every girl Skye's ever dated is either dead or trying to take over the world, and in the series finale, Skye's best friend kills him. Or so he thinks. The weapon meant to disintegrate Skye lands him in his author's universe. With a shot at revenge. Skye, meet Jace. Jacen Howard's a brilliant #blerd math whiz and comics aficionado - but at his West Baltimore high school that's a bad thing, and if the bullying isn't bad enough, Jace's cop-father regularly pisses off the neighbors. Jace doesn't see himself as a hero; he's just trying to survive. Jace might be just the hero Skye needs. But Skye won't open up when Jace tries to ease him out of PTSD, and the author's still torturing his friends. As Skye's mood swings and nightmares escalate, Jace realizes that if he doesn't uncover his roommate's real identity soon, Skye will hurt someone-and Skye's still deciding if murder will save his world, or damn his soul.

Neodymium Exodus

By: Jen Finelli

“Fascinating characters matched with inventive biological details makes this an adventure that’s sure to enthrall. Space opera fans should snap this up.” —(Publishers Weekly) Lem’s a mace-wielding teen space-ninja in a universe of sentient insectoids, purple jungles, and insane electromagnetic fields. She solves most problems by hitting harder, and never plays by her enemy’s rules—until Jared Diebol captures her. Diebol’s the rising leader of an army uniting the galaxy by force. He believes the violent energy being Njande has “contaminated” Lem and her friends from another dimension, infiltrating their EEG signals to conquer the matter-based universe. Diebol’s army usually kills contaminated people—but Diebol vows to cure Lem. When Diebol kidnaps Lem’s family, he forces her to choose between the matter beings she loves and the energy person she adores. If Lem rejects Diebol's cure, her family dies—but if Lem cuts out Njande’s energy, she opens our universe to a much darker thermodynamic attack. The fate of the Universe, or the ones she loves? Read now to join Lem’s sweeping saga about the structure of society, the meaning of suffering, and the character of love. “An epic conflict over the very structure of society, and battles both stealthy and dramatic combine to make an entertaining, quick read set in a lightly sketched but intriguing world.” —Booklist

Heartbeat in the Hallways

A Scifi Fairytale

By: Jen Finelli

Rayn's heartbeat may literally kill him. When an ethereal energy sprite kidnaps Rayn, drags him through space, and dumps him in a nuclear wasteland, Rayn's not exactly happy about leaving the warm, living city-organism he calls home. The wasteland's crawling with armed brutes enforcing order for 'the Prince'--and waifs who talk in riddles about an Invader they hope dethrones him. Quite frankly, Rayn thinks they're all creeps. Then there's Nina: a bad-ass in black leather with a head for philosophy, and best of all, she's politically neutral. Rayn's infatuated. But when he discovers the Prince is using their heartbeats to fuel a war machine, Rayn chooses sides. Nina refuses to join him--but if he follows his heart for her, he may lose his heart altogether. At least this means Rayn doesn't have to go in for work on Monday. Buy now for a 2-hour audiobook mini bonus linked inside! OR: Buy 4 or more PAPERBACKS in bulk for an exclusive launch deal!

Neodymium Sacrifice

By: Jen Finelli

An “intricately plotted” space opera “ups the already sky-high stakes,” of this sci-fi series and fans “will not be disappointed” (Publishers Weekly). The Universe is nursing a morning-after hangover. That’s how ex-freedom-fighter Lem Benzaran feels. Exiled after going AWOL to save her world, she lives in a changed galaxy in the aftermath of a purge that wiped entire planets clean of people like herself. A vague prophecy plagues her isolation: she’s destined to cause the Universe’s heat death. Jei Bereens is one of Lem’s only contacts with her old life. Once his command team’s golden boy, Jei’s now under constant surveillance as a distrusted super-weapon. Worse, amidst waves of withdrawal from his lost love’s nerve pheromone, Jei’s struggling to break free of the childhood rival who’s learned to use that vulnerability to trap him in his mind. That rival, Jared Diebol, now holds almost every card he needs to take full control of the forces bent on homogenizing the galaxy. Driven to desperation by Lem and Jei, Diebol’s created a mind-control device that may finally turn Jei into the world-destroying machine he needs to end this war. If Lem tries to stop him, Diebol vows to kill her at Jei’s hand. Between Jei’s struggle for freedom, Lem’s desperation to escape her destiny, and Diebol’s hunt for control—someone has to give, and someone has to die.

Teaching and Learning About Whole Numbers in Primary School

By: Terezinha Nunes,Beatriz Vargas Dorneles,Pi-Jen Lin,Elisabeth Rathgeb-Schnierer

This book offers a theory for the analysis of how children learn and are taught about whole numbers. Two meanings of numbers are distinguished – the analytical meaning, defined by the number system, and the representational meaning, identified by the use of numbers as conventional signs that stand for quantities. This framework makes it possible to compare different approaches to making numbers meaningful in the classroom and contrast the outcomes of these diverse aspects of teaching. The book identifies themes and trends in empirical research on the teaching and learning of whole numbers since the launch of the major journals in mathematics education research in the 1970s. It documents a shift in focus in the teaching of arithmetic from research about teaching written algorithms to teaching arithmetic in ways that result in flexible approaches to calculation. The analysis of studies on quantitative reasoning reveals classifications of problem types that are related to different cognitive demands and rates of success in both additive and multiplicative reasoning. Three different approaches to quantitative reasoning education illustrate current thinking on teaching problem solving: teaching reasoning before arithmetic, schema-based instruction, and the use of pre-designed diagrams. The book also includes a summary of contemporary approaches to the description of the knowledge of numbers and arithmetic that teachers need to be effective teachers of these aspects of mathematics in primary school. The concluding section includes a brief summary of the major themes addressed and the challenges for the future. The new theoretical framework presented offers researchers in mathematics education novel insights into the differences between empirical studies in this domain. At the same time the description of the two meanings of numbers helps teachers distinguish between the different aims of teaching about numbers supported by diverse methods used in primary school. The framework is a valuable tool for comparing the different methods and identifying the various assumptions about teaching and learning.
