More praise for Moving Up:
'I read it in one sitting. MOVING UP is a book that any child
moving from primary to secondary needs to read. Engaging, lively,
and full of essential information, but more than that, sensitive,
inspiring and energising too. Christian has a wonderful ability
to entertain and guide young readers with his poetry and insights.
Illuminating and inspiring. Loved it!' - Jeffrey
