In the modern world of GPS it's nice to have something to fall back on
4 stars
A quick and easy read looking at some of the more 'natural' ways you can navigate without your phone (or even a compass). This is more of an overview and there is a more detailed book available by Tristan if you wish to explore it further.
RossA reviewed TO KILL THE PRESIDENT* by BOURNE SAM
Scary that this could happen in America!
5 stars
A great thriller and holiday read. This is clearly based on Donald Trump - and scary how I could imagine the whole story playing out in real life.
RossA reviewed Think like a monk
Great inspirational read
5 stars

Great book on how to improve your child’s mental health
5 stars
While this book is written to go alongside the MyHappyMind programme it works just as well as a stand-alone. Loads of useful advice and links to free online resources.
Highly recommend for any parents.
