Educator-author Kelsey Muellner brings another amazing title to Hex 24 Press with Reframing Teacher Language: Supporting the Inner World of Gifted Learners.
Your words can soothe stress, spark resilience, or fuel perfectionism, in seconds. The smallest shifts in language may be your most powerful social-emotional tool.
Gifted learners think fast, feel deeply, and notice everything between the lines. A quick phrase meant to motivate can spark anxiety. A well-intended compliment can reinforce perfectionism. In classrooms full of complexity, your words matter more than ever.
Reframing Teacher Language is a practical and compassionate guide to transforming everyday teacher talk into a powerful social-emotional tool. With just a few tweaks in tone and phrasing, you can help gifted students feel calmer, more confident, and more deeply understood, all without adding to your plate.

David Hawk returns with another amazing literary fiction offering with Caldera: An American Doomsday Tale.
What if the end of the world wasn’t a bang—but a slow, boiling rise?
After the sudden death of his wife, Colton takes his teenage son Lucas on a healing trip to Yellowstone, hoping to mend their fractured bond. But what begins as a quiet escape turns into a waking nightmare. Beneath the awe-inspiring beauty of the national park, something ancient is stirring—an unstoppable force that has been building pressure for millennia.
The supervolcano is waking up—and it doesn’t care about closure, forgiveness, or second chances.
As park rangers disappear, wildlife flees, and a curtain of disaster falls over the region, Colton and Lucas are forced into a desperate race for survival. Along the way, they encounter grieving scientists, haunted locals, and a world descending into panic. But even as society begins to unravel, Colton discovers that facing the end might be the only way to begin again.
