Book Description
The secrets behind China's extraordinary educational system – good, bad, and ugly Chinese students' consistently stunning performance on the international PISA exams— where they outscore students of all other nations in math, reading, and science—have positioned China as a world education leader. American educators and pundits have declared this a "Sputnik Moment," saying that we must learn from China's education system in order to maintain our status as an education leader and global superpower. Indeed, many of the reforms taking hold in United States schools, such as a greater emphasis on standardized testing and the increasing importance of core subjects like reading and math, echo the Chinese system. We're following in China's footsteps—but is this the direction we should take? Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon? by award-winning writer Yong Zhao offers an entertaining, provocative insider's account of the Chinese school system, revealing the secrets that make it both "the best and worst" in the world. Born and raised in China's Sichuan province and a teacher in China for many years, Zhao has a unique perspective on Chinese culture and education. He explains in vivid detail how China turns out the world's highest-achieving students in reading, math, and science—yet by all accounts Chinese educators, parents, and political leaders hate the system and long to send their kids to western schools. Filled with fascinating stories and compelling data, Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon? offers a nuanced and sobering tour of education in China. Learn how China is able to turn out the world's highest achieving students in math, science, and reading Discover why, despite these amazing test scores, Chinese parents, teachers, and political leaders are desperate to leave behind their educational system Discover how current reforms in the U.S. parallel the classic Chinese system, and how this could help (or hurt) our students' prospects

Book Description
For Kylie Hood, dreaming of Trevor Grimm is a fantasy, a way to escape her cruel reality. So, when he asks for her help with a school project, sparks will fly and they'll fall madly in love, right?Not in this fairy tale.Enter Logan Grimm, Trevor's mysterious and sexy older cousin. He's going to lure Kylie into his world and make her question everything she has ever known. She'll learn all about first kisses, first loves, and true love. She'll witness the most damaged friendships as they try to mend, and drown in a darkness she tried so very hard to hide. Worst of all, the cruelest of bad boys will be there to drag her through the most unspeakable truths. Then, before she can run, he'll throw her down the rabbit hole that is the very heart of her fairytale town. This fairy tale is a trap. This is not a sweet story. This is the brutal truth of what really happened when the girl under the red hood met the big bad wolf.*WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF? is the fourth Gods & Monsters Novel but can be read as a standalone. If you'd like to embrace the depth and magic that made this fairy tale possible-and meet some irresistible immortal men-it's recommended to read the entire Gods & Monsters trilogy first. It won't seem these stories are connected, as G&M is an epic paranormal romance set in a different Earth, but I promise it makes sense once you join them together. Then . . . you'll see my magic.*Contains triggers, rape, abuse, sex, strong language, dark themes
