"An important little book all youngsters should read."
Politics is all around us as this pocket guide for young people points out and it’s crucial they understand that if, young or old, they want to be engaged citizens and have their voices heard.
It does an excellent job of explaining what we mean by politics, describing clearly and accessibly the different types of government and the different political systems, from empires to democracy.
There are sections on elections and the history of one person, one vote, a breakdown of left- and right-wing values, even a description of proportional representation versus first past the post.
The final chapters look at change and activism, with a spotlight on child activists, followed by a section encouraging readers to get involved in the causes they care about, and it concludes with a whole set of suggestions of what you can do to make a difference. As with The Week Junior, the information is presented via lively text on pages full of colour photographs, and it’s up to date and perfectly pitched for its young audience.
