Your Guide to Starting Secondary School
“Going up to big school is like going on safari” is this lively book’s opening gambit and as the author says just like with any adventure you may well have an attack of the “what if’s” and if so what you need is information to quell those niggling worries. This book is designed to talk the reader through the most commonly shared anxieties like- what if I don’t fit in/ older kids are horrible/I get lost/teachers are scary etc etc. Aimed very much at the child reader this will be an essential purchase for parents to leave lying around for a child to find. It very nicely combines a jokey, amusing approach with some very sensible practical advice and provides tools and quizzes for self-analysis (understanding why you behave in a certain way and how this might appear to others is half the battle) and further helpful information and sources to find out more. Each scenario described will resonate with young people’s actual experiences and the advice given is sensible without being at all po-faced or judgemental with a reassuringly relaxed attitude to life/school balance and presenting teachers as human beings too. This will be a very useful and inevitably well-thumbed book to have in every primary library.
