My best friend Chelsea and I love animals. I have a dog, Curly, and two guinea pigs, but we need more pets if I'm going to learn to be a vet. Today, we had the best idea ever . . . We're going to have a pet sleepover Of course, there's no need to tell our parents about it. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with having a few extra pets to stay?
Hi I'm Juliet and I'm 10 years old. And I'm nearly a vet Chelsea and I are helping our friend, Maisy, get her pony ready for the local show. But Midgie is more interested in eating than in learning to jump (sigh). Pony training is a bit more difficult than we thought We need some good ideas fast, or the show will be a total disaster.
A terrible bushfire has struck and Mom's vet clinic is in chaos. Every day more and more injured baby animals arrive. Chelsea and I have never been busier There's an adorable baby koala to feed by hand, a fat little wombat to bandage, and a funny blue-tongued lizard that Max is determined to make his pet. But who knew that babies needed so much feeding I may never sleep again
Juliet enlists the help of her family and friends after a storm leaves local dogs lost and homeless There was a huge storm last night and now there are lots of lost dogs. One turned up outside my window (he must have known I'm nearly a vet). Luckily, Chelsea, Mom, and I are helping out at the Lost Dogs' Home. I hope we can find all of their owners, because Dad definitely won't let us have another dog

A "smart, sharply observant, even gently funny" (The Washington Post) debut novel of heartache and joy Witty and surprising, Rebecca Johnson's first novel is about the unexpected links between one family and the world around them. Sophia and Darius have a well-worn marriage, two teenage daughters, and no foreseeable drama on the horizon. One morning, the two girls fight over the keys to the family car and set into motion an accident. The accident triggers a chain of events involving Harry, a still handsome B-list celebrity game-show host; Anton, a sexually repressed unemployed filmmaker; and Misty, who has reached month seven of what was supposed to be a six month campaign to make something of herself. Profoundly honest, this is a novel about the unpredictability of life, and the joy and heartache of how deeply one person's life can affect so many others.
Winner, 2003-2004 Harold Adams Innis Prize for Best English-Language Book in the Social Sciences, Canadian Federation for Humanities and Social SciencesIn the early 1990s, lawyer Beth Symes brought an equality challenge against the Canadian Income Tax Act, arguing that her childcare costs were a business expense. The case ignited public controversy. Was Symes disadvantaged on the basis of gender, or unfairly privileged on the basis of class?This book seeks answers to those questions through close attention to the Symes case, where class and gender interests clashed over the tax treatment of childcare. It looks at the history of legislative and litigative struggles, the dynamics of courtroom discourse, and the influence of broad social debates about children and the public/private divide. It reveals how frequently the rhetoric of choice, responsibility, and selfishness is invoked in response to women's attempts to place issues of childcare on the public agenda.Taxing Choices will interest all those who seek to use the law as a tool of social justice but are troubled by the perils posed by competing interests and conflicts involving race, class, gender, and ability.

I have always been healthy but it seemed as if once I turned forty, my check engine light came on with a vengeance. The first thing that happened was a surprise gall bladder removal but I handled that like a champ. The second thing came at me like a freight train. Cancer... I had experienced family members with cancer but they were all older. I was only in my early forties so how could this possibly happen. Plus, this was breast cancer. I had no family history of breast cancer. Little did I know just how wild an adventure I would go on. This was a fight for my life, my family and everything that I love.

Hi I'm Juliet. I'm 10 years old. And I'm nearly a vet There's a cat show in town and some of the cats are going to board at Mum's vet clinic. Chelsea and I can't wait to see all the different types of cats. The owners have special techniques for preparing their pets for the show--and some are very fussy. When there's a cat-astrophe, it's lucky that my best friend is almost a world-famous animal trainer and groomer
