Book SynopsisWelcome to A.S.K – Ask. Seek. Knock. ‘Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.’ (Matthew 7:7–8). We all have questions about Jesus, the Bible, the Christian faith and our culture today. The great news is that Jesus gives answers. These questions were gathered from teenagers in fifteen countries in five different continents. All of them are real questions from real teenagers. 52 short chapters. Each contains a question, a Bible passage, a Bible verse, a discussion, something to consider, recommended further reading and a prayer. These answers may lead to more questions which is fine – but the main aim of this book is that you, the reader, come to see and know better the One who is the Answer, Jesus Christ.Trade ReviewA.S.K. answers common questions asked by average teenagers from around the world. Mr Robertson candidly answers hot button questions that teens struggle with including racism, same sex marriage, and gender identity disorder. This is a helpful book that constantly points to the Bible as a lifeline on how to cope with peers, prejudice, and social media. -- Esther Nixon (A high school freshman from the United States who loves music and playing instruments, especially piano!)This marvelous volume is a readable, accessible compendium of many of the questions we’ve always had but had not dared ask. David Robertson, with his candid, thoroughly biblical, winsome approach, reassures us that there are reasonable and convincing answers to each of them. I wish I had been given a book like this when I was a young Christian. I highly recommend it not only for teens but for all ages. -- William Edgar (Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)I do Christian music for little kids. Kids grow up. They ask questions. Big, blunt, sharp questions that really matter. And they want straight answers they can trust. That’s what this book is all about. Christian kids need God’s word to shape the way they’ll walk into a wide, challenging, questioning world. My job is done. Time for David Robertson to lead you on, to answer your REAL WORLD questions with his brave, straight, REAL WORD answers. -- Colin Buchanan (Christian Children's Recording artist and author, Sydney, Australia)If you’re a teenager trying to follow Jesus it is more than likely that you’ve asked most of the 52 question that David Robertson tries to answer. These are real questions and David doesn’t fudge the answers. Like a friend of mine who worked with young people, he doesn’t think he is the fount of all knowledge so, whatever the question, he begins by finding a Bible passage that speaks to the issue and roots his answer there. This is not just an AMA (ask me anything) session. This is; what does God’s word have to say? Then when he gives his answer he asks us to pray. That’s is because we’re not dealing with theoretical or academic concepts. These questions are real and affect our lives. They turn us to God in worship and thanks and encourage us to bring our concerns to him. David Robertson is real. He talks about his own experience and the struggles he has gone through. And he is never boring; always getting to the point and not confusing us with jargon. It’s not going to give you easy answers but they are satisfying. You can dip into this book or read it through. If you’re serious about following Jesus it will not only strengthen your faith but it will equip you to speak confidently to others about it. -- Andy Bathgate (Chief Executive, Scripture Union, Scotland.)The questions posed by teenagers are often more honest, practical and down–to–earth than the average adult. David Robertson takes them seriously by being just as straight–talking and practical in response. Young people, youth leaders and parents will all be helped by the wide range of issues tackled in this timely book. -- Justin Brierley (Journalist and host of Premier Radio 'Unbelievable' Show)

Book SynopsisIn this wildly charming and fantastically imaginative story by the New York Times bestselling author of Creepy Carrots and Creepy Pair of Underwear, a young animal expert knows just what to do when she spots her teacher in the wild.Miranda is an animal expert. Or at least, she watches a lot of Nature Joe. Nature Joe is incredible. He rescues animals, returning them to their natural habitat. Mrs. Birdley is a teacher. The natural habitat of a teacher is a classroom. So when Mrs. Birdley escapes school and ends up wild, loose, and confused at the local grocery store, Miranda knows just what to do: she must use her brain, her guts, and her extensive knowledge of Nature Joe to rescue Mrs. Birdley—at any cost! This delightfully over-the-top picture book by newcomer Emma Reynolds explores the weirdness of seeing a teacher outside of school and will have young readers laughing out loud every time they read.Trade Review"Aaron Reynolds' tongue-in-cheek text cleverly exploits the trope that educators have no life beyond the school. Emma Reynolds' digital illustrations highlight jungle green predominately, accented with neon purples, oranges, and yellows...compositions are attractively varied, ranging from full-bleed spreads to single-page art and smaller, paneled illustrations. The text's use of terminology borrowed from nature videos (becoming "aggressive" and "natural habitat") adds to the fun." - Booklist"A fun story for all the kids who think their teachers live at school, because where else would they live?" - Kirkus Reviews* "Reynolds, award-winning author of Creepy Carrots!, has delivered another gem and children will relish Miranda’s outrageous traps and the poor unsuspecting adults who are snared in them. A definite purchase for all children’s collections and an easy choice for a read-aloud." School Library Journal starred review

Book SynopsisThe true story of a Jewish boy in hiding during World War II, as told by his teddy bear. I felt Fred’s small hand grab me. He patted me and whispered, “Bear, I won’t leave you here all by yourself. You are my best friend.” Based on true events and beautifully illustrated, this is the story of a friendship that will last forever—told by Fred’s best friend, his beloved teddy bear. During World War II, Fred must leave his home and live in hiding, apart from the rest of his family, but he always keeps Bear by his side. Bear knows it’s his job to take care of Fred and make sure he doesn’t feel alone. After the war, Fred and his family are reunited and leave Holland for the United States. And still Bear is with him.

Book SynopsisFrom an Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award nominee comes a touching story of family, security, and loss. A young girl tells her mother about a passageway in their yard. Down this passageway, it is not cold, there is no danger, and nothing bad can ever happen—and the person she longs for is with her again. The only problem is that, on some days, the passageway is not there. But maybe, together, mother and daughter can find a way to carry that feeling with them always. First published in Argentina, this lovely picture book will tug on the heartstrings of anyone who knows what it means to miss a loved one.Trade Review“In Schimel’s translation, Wernicke’s words are few but well chosen and expertly paced, the sentences split among the pages allowing for unhurried absorption of meaning. Her curved figures are solid, with cream-colored skin; straight, black hair; and short lines for eyes. No mouths are visible, a decision that adds to the contemplative aura. Subtle patterns add interest, and red—ultimately applied to the mother—signals warmth and love…A gentle model for living while missing a loved one.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “This brief, wistful exchange between a mother and her child delivers its emotion between the lines, and Schimel’s translation handles the understatement deftly…Wernicke shows the two twirled up in another set of sheets, looking for the passageway together, in this portrait of a parent who hears and honors her child’s words.” —Publishers Weekly “In this economical, poignant picture book, a girl tells her mother about a passageway in their yard that leads to a place on ‘the other side’ where there is ‘no danger’ and ‘nothing, nothing at all, can happen to you.’ The illustrations tell more—in this place, the girl gets a ride on the shoulders of a large man (possibly her father) who makes her feel safe…Wernicke’s emotive picture book expresses a child’s strong feelings about longing and safety.” —The Horn Book “Some Days is an incredibly moving and poignant story with layers of meaning which are sure to resonate with anyone who knows what it means to miss a loved one.” —Outside In World
