So, You're Off To Big School

Starting high school? Feeling nervous, excited, or just totally overwhelmed? This book gets it.

So, You're Off to Big School is the honest, comforting, and quietly hilarious guide to one of the biggest changes a young person will face - moving from primary to secondary school.

Written like a big sibling who actually listens, this isn't your average back-to-school handbook. It's for the kids who worry about fitting in, finding the toilets, or what happens if they forget their PE kit. It's for the ones who laugh when they're nervous. Who feel too much. Who think they're the only one still figuring things out (they're not).

Inside, you'll find:

Real talk about first-day nerves, friendships, and pressure

Gentle advice on how to stay calm, confident, and true to yourself

Stories that feel like someone's finally put your thoughts into words

Black-and-white doodle illustrations that bring the messy magic of growing up to life

Whether your child is shy, loud, quirky, anxious, or all of the above, this book reminds them they're not alone - and that it's okay to feel weird about change.

Perfect for ages 10-13, this is the book to give any child heading into S1, Year 7 or their first day at secondary school. It's also a great tool for teachers and parents looking to support pupils through transition, mental health, and big emotional milestones.

A bestseller in the making for fans of 'You Are Awesome', 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid', and every kid who's ever panicked about lockers, timetables, or group projects.
