Critics Review
Every politician seeking election next month should read this book. I think it taught me as much about our country as anything I have ever read
Every politician seeking election next month should read this book. I think it taught me as much about our country as anything I have ever read * Evening Standard *An important and timely book. These are voices that need to be heard. – Anthony HorowitzThe book gives educators much to consider … The greatest value of GENERATION Z is a reminder of all that we love about our students – their humanity, their kindness, their moments of strength, their insights. It’s easy to see the echoes of students in our own classrooms; beyond the disrupters, preeners and attention-seekers, there are human beings going through tremendous changes. I found it a refreshing, confronting and heartfelt reminder of why I came into the classroom. * Times Educational Supplement *An important and deeply revealing book showcasing what it is really like to be a teenager in the twenty-first century. – Boris JohnsonThrillingly candid interviews with ‘Generation Z’ display all their fixations, their humour, and the frightening power of technology in their pockets. * Newsweek *… her revealing interviews offer their own conclusions on a generation often misunderstood and misrepresented. * The Big Issue (In the North) *There aren’t many books like GENERATION Z …Chloe Combi turns real stories of young life into a compelling read. * The Bookbag *an unflinching, enlightening, funny and often disturbing exploration into the minds of today’s teenagers; … compulsive and illuminating… It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. Most importantly, it will make you angry. It’s an effortless political manifesto. This book will challenge everything you thought you knew about growing up as part of Generation Z. * For Book’s Sake *
