Recenzii

"A compendium of enlightening snippets ... Just looking at the quirky cover made me wonder if the book had been shelved in the Hogwarts' library ... worth the book's price for anyone tasked with running positive school assemblies. I hadn't met all the quotes before and the information was entertaining." www.thebookbag.co.uk
