This book was given to me by a friend, a substitue teacher at the school I teach at. He is working on his teaching degree & came across this book in the course of his studies. He was so impressed with it that he purchased several copies & gave them to teachers at the school.
I enjoyed this book a great deal. It was easy to read for being a book on brain science. It was written in a very non-high brow way. The book explained the theory of brain plasticity & how the "changeability" of the brain impacts our lives. There were sections on relationships, addiction, learning, strokes, & the part I found the most interesting the development of the Fast ForWord program which we use at the school.
If you are curious about the brain & how it is able to change & heal or harm itself this is a must read!

When Ben gets kicked out of spy school, he accepts an offer to attended SPYDER’s spy school instead. It’s an undercover assignment to find out what their next evil plan is. At least, Ben hopes that’s the case. Since he is cut off from everyone but he new fellow students, can he learn SPYDER’s plans and share them with someone else in time?

Because the setting is different, we don’t get quite as much from the usual supporting characters, but the news characters are just as great. The plot moves forward at a steady pace until the final third, when it kicks into high gear. Add in a nice dose of humor, and you’ve got a wonderful new adventure for Ben and his fans.
