Readers’ Comments
“I liked the way the book looked. It’s not difficult to follow it and it is (sort of) inspiring. A good book if you want to think about the future.” Girl, aged 13
“Creatively written and designed, this offers children (and possibly even adults) a ‘method’ for thinking about their aspirations. There’s space for writing, and even the odd inspiring story. I felt this book was a little different in so much as books of this nature tend to be for adults. Very welcome in my classroom.” English teacher, aged 52
“Thinking critically is so vital for children, particularly in this internet ‘fake news’ world we live in. Books of this nature help children to do just that. If you happen to be looking for ‘purpose’ this well-designed, accessibly written book might help you.” Mum of 12 year old girl
“Good for middle graders, but I expect YAs will get the most out of it.” Primary school teacher, aged 34
“Liked ii. I thought it was (a) interesting (b) easy to understand and (c) made me think about what I want to be.” Boy, aged 12 – with a little help from his TA
To Sum It Up:
‘A thought-provoking, often inspiring self-help book, offering children/YA a tool for exploring their future. A FINALIST and highly recommended!’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
