Major steps forward have been made, but the struggle for basic human rights continues. Sadly, despite changes in the law, many women are still subjected to horrific oppression, violence, and psychological and physical abuse. This fourth book in the internationally acclaimed Princess series reveals the intimate struggles of Saudi women inside one of the richest, most conservative kingdoms in the world. These are stories of triumph and heartbreak amongst the highest- and lowest-born. Princess Sultana speaks frankly about her strong-willed daughters, her beloved husband, and the contentious Al-Sa'ud family whose daily battles about what it means to be a woman in Saudi Arabia mirror those of the society at large.

As the world's attention traces the reluctant social advances in the Middle East, Princess Sultana and her female friends and family have stepped forward to rescue young women in the region who are cruelly mistreated by their husbands, their fathers and the brutish ISIS soldiers who kidnap them. But inside the Princess's lavish Saudi Arabian palace, sparks of anger and bolts of fear crackle because of the secrets kept to forward her efforts to help women and children. Kareem is furious when Sultana guards Maha's secret to volunteer to help traumatized children at a refugee camp in Turkey. When a beautiful Yemeni woman visits the royal palaces of Saudi Arabia, Sultana is saddened, yet mesmerized to be told the story of the woman's seven marriages. Meanwhile, Kareem's father takes a new wife -- and Princess Sultana is blamed. Jean Sasson is author of thirteen bestselling books, including New York Times bestseller PRINCESS: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia and of GROWING UP BIN LADEN: Osama's Wife and Son Take Us Inside Their Secret World.

Whether it is entertaining guests in her decadent palace, jet-setting between four mansions on three different continents, or receiving opulent jewels from her adoring husband, the royal lifestyle is nothing new to Princess Sultana Al Sa’ud. And neither are the antics of the Royal Family: from a niece who constantly steals from her to a sister obsessed with having the lips of Angelina Jolie. And of course there’s Sultana’s bullish brother who is convinced that her outspokenness will be the ruin of the Royal Family! But miraculous change is also in the air. The young Saudi Crowned Prince has proclaimed his plan to give Saudi women more freedoms, including the right to drive! Princess Sultana exults as her beloved Kingdom moves further away from the days of infant girls buried in sand and women battered by stones or the fists of their husbands. Even as a bright, new day lingers on the horizon, Saudi women’s biggest obstacle still lurks in the shadows—the Guardianship Law. Will Saudi Arabia forever be plagued with men who doubt women’s capacity to make their own decisions? Will the winds of change wither to a whisper? Whatever may occur, Princess, Stepping Out of the Shadows proves that nothing is simple in Saudi Arabia.

But everything changes when her family moves from their gigantic castle into an apartment. Finally she can have friends and a regular life! And when she discovers a place called school, she decides she wants to go there, too. Emma is another lonely princess. She's trying very hard to find her own Prince Charming, but dating when you're a princess isn't easy--especially when you've got a squirmy, wriggly, incurably itchy spot in the middle of your back. Emma isn't interested in good looks or courage. She only wants someone who can scratch her itch away. These two stories use Susie Morgenstern's irrepressibly funny, matter-of-fact style to show that a sense of humor and a little determination to make things better can go a long way. Ages 8-12

Principal Leadership for Parent Engagement in Disadvantaged Schools: What Qualities and Strategies Distinguish Effective Principals? (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Annemaree Carroll Julie Hodges Linda-Dianne Willis Jenny PoveyThis book presents and theorises research findings into why and how school principals play a critical role in engaging parents and their school communities to enhance student learning and wellbeing. It highlights the imperative of parent engagement as evidenced by clear, consistent findings from research over the last fifty years and government reforms, policies and frameworks internationally and nationally in Australia which have been driven by the weight of this evidence. It focuses on a research project conducted from 2016 to 2017, titled 'Principal leadership for parent-school-community engagement in disadvantaged schools'. This project investigated four principals identified as successful in parent engagement based on findings of state-wide survey research of principals and presidents of parents and citizens’ associations in 2014 in Queensland, Australia. This book offers theoretical and empirical evidence based on literature for the qualities successful principals in parent engagement exhibit, and the strategies they take to achieve parent and community engagement. It shows how the concept of agency as achievement can be used by educators and public policy makers to enable school leaders and teachers to adopt qualities and strategies that will engage parents in their child’s learning and wellbeing, so that improved outcomes for their child and schools can result.
