'Those eyes. I've seen those eyes before.' Sarah Verona, a detective with a bad habit of breaking into suspects' homes, comes across a series of uncanny leads that feel too interconnected to be coincidence. She begins an investigation into her own life, one that reveals a truth about her teenage years that is both extraordinary and spellbinding. This is an expanded edition of Code Name Seven, featuring an additional story that takes place years later. Within Sarah's hunt for her memory, we are introduced to the tales of the Enrici, the starstruck shapeshifters.

A spellbinding tale of the Enrici, the starstruck shapeshifters In a world where the breath of a star transforms humans in ways we thought impossible, Sarah, a nerdy, rather cocky sixteen-year-old girl, investigates the mysterious death of the last queen. It is not much later, however, that she is visited by a dream... a dream that calls to her like a siren in the sea; a dream that foreshadows a great predestined bond and a perilous journey. This debut novel by the musician Suinne Clara Lee invites readers on a journey unlike any other-through intricately woven plots, ingenious devices, and enthralling insights into the laws of nature that only she, as an adorer of physics and mathematics, can offer. Though crafted for young readers, the story's rich layers promise an equally captivating experience for adults.

“This is a surprising and welcome book… a heartening read that shows the power of assessment for learning and the potential for academics and teachers jointly to put into practice ideas that can improve classroom learning and teaching.” TES The starting point of this book was the realisation that research studies worldwide provide hard evidence that development of formative assessment raises students’ test scores. The significant improvement in the achievements of the students in this project confirms this research, while providing teachers, teacher trainers, school heads and others leaders with ideas and advice for improving formative assessment in the classroom. Assessment for Learning is based on a two-year project involving thirty-six teachers in schools in Medway and Oxfordshire. After a brief review of the research background and of the project itself, successive chapters describe the specific practices which teachers found fruitful and the underlying ideas about learning that these developments illustrate. Later chapters discuss the problems that teachers encountered when implementing the new practices in their classroom and give guidance for school management and LEAs about promoting and supporting the changes. This book offers valuable insights into assessment for learning as teachers describe in their own words how they turned the ideas into practical action in their schools.
