REACH for Teenagers

Based on the poem ‘REACH when all is said and done’, James Garratt’s new book is an important guide for teenagers stepping into the world. Offering insights around common problems, issues or emotions surrounding ‘growing up’, REACH for Teenagers approaches its target market in the ultimate conversational style to ease its reader into learning. REACH is an acronym: Relationships, Enjoyment, Achievement, Comfort and Health. Using this, James shows how everything is interconnected and how using these building blocks, teenagers can take control of what is widely acknowledged as a hard time when ‘growing up’. Any reader within this teenage age bracket, or parents or teachers looking for ways to guide, will be grateful to have found this book and the valuable insights it offers.

As the poem says:

The teenage years are such a special time, when relationships of yours and mine

Reflect the qualities (or not) which can dictate our future lives or lot

A time to grow, a time to change, a time to experience decisions made

But get it right and hope will be, a brighter future for you and me.
