I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
Nathan stares back at his teacher. She's handing out the usual frayed school-copy books. A bland cover done in black and white: a man's profile in black, a woman's in white. Othello. Nathan didn't know it was a book: he only remembers it as a board game. He used to play it in primary school with his best friend, Andrew. You flip the white discs over to reveal the black. The game can change in an instant: white discs can dominate the board but then a careful placement from your opponent means they can all flip to black. They seemed to play it every weekend, Weekend afternoons were spent splayed out on Nathan's bedroom floor, playing game after game: best of three, best of five, champion tournament. Andrew would always win. He was a master of it, turning the tables with ease, transforming the whole board into rows and rows of black discs. Nathan's mother coming in and saying, Why don't you boys go outside? It's such a lovely day. Nathan watching Andrew's wrists flipping disc after disc.

'From' the cat and the soulmonger
Ismael knew it would soon be time. Kneeling on his bed, he brought his head over the windowsill and looked out. Not a star peeked out. He couldn't help remembering that his mother had once described an eclipse like \"a rice bowl overturned on the village\". He was not used to such darkness, mainly because he was usually asleep before it grew dark, and because living in the Lion City it was never quite dark...

Examining what clinicians, educators, and parents can do to help children who struggle with making friends, the book reviews available interventions and identifies important directions for future work in the field.
