Book Reviews
‘I would recommend this book to anyone who works with young people taking exams, and to the families of young people. As the parent of two children who will be doing their GCSEs soon, the toolkit style of the book is invaluable. It provides simple tips about developing the good habits that will help all young people get the most from education.’ Claire Paine, Children and Young People Now.
