About this deal
This book provides all the scaffolding and practical techniques to help children deal with everything from peer pressure to exam stress to online trolls, and help them look toward their future with optimism and positivity. Because no matter what, there is always hope for a better day. Rather than be a book about defeating mental illness, Dr George poses this helpful and practical book as about creating mental wellness and healthy strategies and routines. In part three of the book (“A Better Day”) there’s useful advice about maintaining a healthy diet, being creative, sleeping well and developing resilience and mental strength to be able to deal with the problems that come as part of life.

An upbeat and positive book which feels perfectly pitched at lower secondary school kids and will no doubt be hugely helpful for many.
This is such a fantastic read! As a person who worries lots, this book really boosted my confidence and self-esteem. I've been a lot happier since reading this book. This book is full of helpful tips to help with everything from bullying to grief, and I really do recommend! Dr Alex has captured the problems that a lot of young people have and put it into a book, offering help and solutions! Puberty is a confusing time. These helpful books not only explain the changes that happen to children’s bodies and emotions, but can also empower them as they grow into teenagers and beyond. Encompassing mental health, friendship issues, navigating the online world, and much much more, we hope these books will be a comfort and a support. This is great book for mental health in CYP and explains the ideas in simple language. Some lovely illustrations and a user friendly self help book. Mostly a CBT based model with hints of an acceptance based model.

Night Mayor Franklefink has vanished from the Transylvanian Express - and it's up to you to solve the case! Part of the Solve Your Own Mystery seri... Alex is on a mission to make mental health education compulsory in schools, and has become prolific throughout the UK in his campaigning with charities such as YoungMinds, Anna Freud Centre & Mind, to lobby the government to change policy and ensure mental health sits alongside the likes of Maths and English on the curriculum. I would say the book is aimed at kids aged 10-16 roughly. But also great to read as a parent of a child in that age range to help gain a better understanding of children's mental health. Dr Alex is an A&E doctor, he has become known for his honesty and insight around mental & physical health and wellbeing, using his broadcast and social media platforms to bring accessible advice around health and medicine to his followers. He recently presented his own documentary for BBC One and Children in Need, is a regular guest on Lorraine More The book remains positive throughout and you get the feeling that the author has personal lived experience, and understands well the struggles that the reader may be going through.
