A delightfully frank and funny book, with a very serious message.
Jacqueline Wilson, children's author 

​

Ryan Wilson is a great communicator, as well as funny, sensitive and clever. In fact, an ideal teacher. This book on his time in the profession is - well - an education on why our teachers are too often the unsung heroes in all of our lives.
Victoria Derbyshire, broadcaster

A book spoken from the heart, the heart of a born teacher. In turns, honest, self-deprecating, enlightening, moving, and funny... this is a powerful and important book.

Michael Morpurgo, children's author

​

Ryan’s account of his journey from newly qualified teacher to assistant head is very funny, often inspiring, occasionally tragic — and a timely reminder of the unforgettable influence of great teachers.
