help you on your journey.

From choosing your new school and your first day all the way up

to your final exams and your leaving party or prom, this handy

guide book will be the perfect companion for transitioning to secondary,

and get you feeling confident, building strong friendships,

achieving great things and generally being the greatest that you

can be.

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
