ValuedMinds.com is collaboration between ValuedMinds Inc and Rune Entertainment Inc. ValuedMinds Inc was founded by Richard Bramwell, with early assistance from Hazel Fluke, Melanie Whelpdale and a number of helpful parents who screened many books. Rune Entertainment has very generously assisted with the data structure and web-site design, providing the remarkable skills of Paul Wollenzien .

I would like to offer a special thank-you to my aunt, Katherine Taylor, for her support of the project and her faith in me. At the top of a long list of people to whom I owe tremendous gratitude are my mother and father, Gillian and Christopher Bramwell, whose solution to my ‘unpromising’ reading ability was to throw out the television and ‘bury’ me with good books to read. I cannot thank them enough (—thank-you and thank-you again, with love to you both, Richard).
