Reviews from early readers:

'X1 Books have absolutely nailed it with these self-help comical books for teens and pre-teens! I love them! With a professional background in children's mental and emotional health, and having children of my own, I can see that these books really tackle the problems children today have in an easy to understand and laid back way, without feeling like a self help book, which children of this age group often reject. I would definitely recommend these to parents and children! 5 stars!' - Maria G, Mental Health Practitioner

‘I can’t thank X1 Books enough for finally producing something which my kids actively WANT to read, and which actually works! Writing in the voice of a character their age is a stroke of genius! I’ve tried other books on them before, but they haven’t taken an interest in them the way they have with these and I can see them using the CBT techniques and growing into calmer, more confident boys. Thank you again!’ - Amy Z, Mother of two boys
