Man down alarm is a sensor based alert system for detecting device movement and non-movement and launching alert based on the predefined man down settings.

Great for increasing familiarity with this story and perfect for wet play. The reader meets Ari one year after the disappearance of his older sister, Lana. Ari is a very dynamic character who holds an enormous love for his sister & is extremely distraught over her loss. Every day he draws more into himself as his parents force him to do everything under their watchful eye; never to engage in the independent activities of before. In some unknown format, Ari writes to the reader—a warning. The woods in Hanging Hill—the town in which he lives—are dangerous & people go missing around town, never to be seen again. What follows is a quest undertaken by the fearless leader & main character as he seeks the answers to account for the sudden vanishing of his best friend in the entire world, Lana.The Twig Man would have me shaking in fear, he’s half tree half man a monster without no face and has eyes everywhere. Essentially, the curse heightened his bleak desires & transformed them from petty thieving to serious criminal activity—kidnapping. All the while, he remains essentially immortal as this half-tree, half-man, & only has to reveal himself every ten (10) years to kidnap a child so that his life force is sustained by draining theirs. Perhaps, this is just me but that doesn’t actually feel like a terrible curse given the alternative—i.e. any semblance of proximity to whatever you might imagine purgatory to be. Again, I am an adult so the details of this story are not targeting me as the ideal consumer but, I have read & adored many a Middle-Grade Horror in my time & therefore hold fast to my questions & confusion. There is much to praise regarding the positive male representation within this story. Firstly, we have Ari’s father who is a Goliath among men but who is tender, soft, vulnerable, & emotionally available for himself, his wife, & his son. Throughout the entire novel, we see him adapt his conversational style so that the person he is speaking with does not become overwhelmed by the subject matter, primarily when discussing Lana. Ari has grown up with a positive father figure; a person worth applauding for their authenticity towards themselves & all those whom he loves. The Twig Man is the story of a boy, a missing sister and The Twig Man hex. Ari is determined to solve the mystery of his missing sister and he’s confident that The Twig Man has taken her.

The Twig Man : The Week Junior Book Awards 2023

With plenty of screaming and a creepy location, not to mention the potentially true urban legend, this book would have scared me as a kid. It wouldn’t have helped that pretty much everywhere Ari turns, he’s being watched by animals with white eyes. I'm not a horror fan, but this one, I love it! I'm not saying this because it is not creepy, it is creepy, but the story is amazing! I like how Sana Rasoul builds up the tension. She gives you hints here and there, but still you won't figure out what is truly happening. The more clues you get, the more complicated the things seem. It's like never ending until it really ends. That made me keep reading it. It had been a long time since a book kept me up at night, and this one just did it. And the plot twist…. I didn't see that coming. This book gave me goosebumps in many ways. We believe there’s a lot of interest amongst children for hair-raising stories that keep readers on the edge of their seats but are age appropriate. The Twig Man combines elements of the classic ghost story with themes such as friendship, family and self discovery. We think it’s going to be a big hit with young readers.”– Helen Lewis, co-director at Hashtag Press October 2022 Debut of the Month | Longlisted for The Juniper Book Award 2023 | Shortlisted for the Week Junior Book Awards 2023Looking to decorate your learning space for Christmas? Take a look at these Classroom Door Images! What else can I use with this story to aid home learning? She developed a passion for writing after her father gifted her with the Narnia collection. They would take weekly trips to Waterstones and it became a tradition to scour through the many titles. Her true calling, however, has been writing books that scare and thrill. She grew up reading anything by R.L Stine, Stephen King and Agatha Christie and continues to navigate towards the supernatural/horror genre. A good, Spooky story, perfect for younger kids. Fast paced, good plot line and kept you engaged in the story the whole way through with a good mystery. Obviously probably would have liked it more when I was younger and will probably let my sons read it when they get older.
