Description

Weatherston added that assessing every child helped spot issues earlier and enabled staff to plan early interventions: “We were able to act early rather than have children need more serious interventions in year 5 or 6 when issues like really disruptive behaviour might emerge”. Speaking about the benefits of using the Boxall Profile with every child in school, Weatherston said: “We don't really notice the time elements. We know that we've got to do it. We know we've got to get it done by that day and we know why it's good for us to do it and how it benefits the school.” Definitely, a 5 star book. Thanks to Netgalley and William Morrow Publishers for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book. Working as an in-home caregiver for an elderly employer, Angel is feeling blue after a recent breakup with the woman she loves. She’s alarmed when her employer’s son suddenly brings in a new Filipina nurse who may be a valuable ally, or who may be meant to replace her.

Now You See Us

The stories of Cora, Angel and Donita, all Filipina domestic workers was so engaging. Cora has a broken heart over the death of her nephew Raymond. She was for all intents and purposes the only parent he had and her grief for his loss weighs on her and has changed her. Her new position is very good but Cora's not inclined to engage or trust anything or anyone. She just wants to do her work and be left alone. Angel, has a position that has been good but circumstances in the household have changed and she now is not only uncomfortable, but she is also unsafe. Rounding out the trio of friends is the youngest, Donita. She has the worst placement by far, with an employer who is straight up abusive. Still, Donita holds her head high and refuses to give Mrs. Fann the complete deference she craves. Peter Hammond from Movieline wrote, "Pure summer movie magic—literally. More fun than Ocean's 11, 12, and 13 combined. You won't believe your eyes—and that's the point." [20]

I appreciated the aspect of social commentary on the wealthy vs. the maid class, and the author made some solid points...but after a while, they got a bit repetitive. For instance, the maids discover a Facebook group where many of Singapore's elite with workers in their homes tell story after story about how they are convinced their maid was stealing, cheating with the husband of the house, etc. and after a while, these just got tiresome to read. They were also always placed at the end of a chapter, so it took an already slow-moving narrative and slowed it down even further. It opens their eyes to the invisible world that exists alongside theirs, full of people with their own complicated lives and loves, seeking a space of their own, sharing a city.

Overall a showman of a film. Flashy, loud with bells and whistles and big personalities, an exciting premise... illusionists rob banks using (supposed) magic but the four horsemen are just puppets in a game, but the hype is more than the substance of the film itself. A truly irresistible read. Intricately plotted, propulsive, and provocative, NOW YOU SEE US showcases an author at the peak of her talents."--Kirstin Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Counterfeit
