Ratings and reviews

My son will be starting high school next year (in two months actually) . He is quite disorganised and I am concerned for him and his ability to cope. This book has given me some reassurance. I feel like it is a clear road map for the journey ahead. It is full of very practical tips and sound advice from an author who as an experienced teacher knows why some kids make it and others don't. There is nothing high faluting and technical in this book. It is grass roots practical with no excuses given for not succeeding. Put in the daily regular effort and you will get results. It is an easy read (punctuated with humour) and a good reference. I will be coming back to this book many times in the years ahead. I might even buy the printed copy of it. I will read a good portion of this with my son before he starts high school. Thank you very much Sharon for writing this book.yo You are a life saver
