  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
