How to be a revolutionary

LoveReading4Kids Says

Natalie and Lily have heard their parents talk about the revolutionaries before but they have no idea what they do. Apart from stomping around in big boots, taking over their kitchen and wearing red of course.

It happened four years ago, then one day they disappeared. And now they're back again. Twelve year old Natalie is determined this time to pin them down and demand they tell her their secrets, she's super keen to join their ranks and become a revolutionary. But what does it mean? What does it entail?

Inspired by her disastrous take on a school project and inspired by a classmate's presentation called "Too young to vote", Natalie with her new pals decides she wants to change the world. In her own way. One step at a time. It can't be done in a day, after all.

A brilliant introduction to politics, this is a funny, entertaining read about embracing difference, rejecting stereotypes, the power of teamwork and the importance of friendship. But it's more than that, too. Against the backdrop of a changing family, it's a touching tale of heart, hope and superhero rats! And believe me, you'll come to love the whole mischief.
