O Projeto da Super Casa na Árvore (Edição mangá)

Queres construir uma casa na árvore?
Os amigos Ben, James, Tim e Tom, de 10 anos de idade, encontram a árvore perfeita numa floresta perto da escola e começam a construir a Super Casa na Árvore. As coisas começam em queda e pioram quando a irmã de Ben, a Amanda, os descobre a trabalhar secretamente na casa na árvore. Como se não bastasse, eles apercebem-se que as raparigas estão a construir a sua própria casa - na mesma árvore – e que tem ainda melhor aspeto que a dos rapazes! Como é que elas estão a fazer aquilo? Qual é a sua arma secreta? Depois do acidente, tudo muda e os rapazes são forçados a fazer equipa com as raparigas - como se isso alguma vez fosse funcionar!
Este livro apresenta conceitos básicos de Gestão de Projetos aos jovens, através de uma história divertida e curtas lições ensinadas a uma das raparigas pelo seu pai, que é (obviamente) um Gestor de Projeto. Ela aplica o que aprende e de repente as raparigas estão à frente dos rapazes, que simplesmente "começaram a construir" - sem um plano.
Junta-te a esta improvável equipa de construtores de casas na árvore - quatro rapazes e quatro raparigas – que acabam por trabalhar em conjunto para completar o Projeto da Super Casa na Árvore!
Nota: este livro lê-se da direita-para-a-esquerda, no formato tradicional Manga japonês.

Gary M. Nelson, BSC, PMP (Gazza) is passionate about sharing knowledge and making Project Management concepts more accessible, particularly to new and aspiring Project Managers (of all ages). Said another way, he likes to tell stories to help convey complex concepts in a way that helps the concepts 'stick'. Who says learning shouldn't be fun?
Born in Calgary, Alberta (Canada), Gary moved west to B.C. at the very early age of 2, where he spent most of his formative years - aside from a 6 year stint where he learned to appreciate living in a very small town of 800 people. He then attended high school in Surrey, B.C. and went on to graduate from Simon Fraser University (BC, Canada) in 1989 with a major in Computing science and a minor in English - an odd but useful mix (a techie who can write clearly)!
Gary was tricked into becoming a Project Manager by his first manager, and has never looked back. His international experience includes projects in New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the US and Canada, working on projects in the Telecom, Student Information Systems, Local Government and Healthcare sectors.
Having wanted to write books since high school, it took many long years of successful procrastination until he finally felt he had something useful to write about, and wrote his first book of stories in 2012...on Project Management, of all things. Next, presented with the terrifying challenge of writing for children, he enlisted his youngest sons to be the first victims (reviewers and editors) and the Project Kids series of books were born. Several years on, he is amazed to see the books being translated into multiple languages, and reaching into schools and homes around the world.
He enjoys speaking and training, has presented at numerous events and conferences and is also the author and host of Gazza's Corner Project Management Blog and Podcast.
Gary currently lives in New Zealand with his wife, three sons and two cats, and is loving every bit of it.
