  I asked my Year 1 class, ‘What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you?’ 
  George Pointon asks his class a lot of questions. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you reckon your parents do while you’re at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler – can you put it down? 
  He’s also got a few for himself: what is he doing here? Who was he kidding, thinking he could teach? 
  But the course of true professional fulfilment never did run smooth, and there’s no backing out now. 
  In this book, George takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching. In the company of five-year-olds – who are somehow wisdom, innocence and chaos incarnate – there is always lots to be learned. 
  In Teacher Man, George Pointon masterfully combines elements of autobiography and non-fiction to provide a candid look at education and parenting. His essays delve into the complexities of behavioural management and relationships within the school environment, offering a unique perspective on the role of educators. 
  For fans of Lucy Mangan (Bookworm), Sam Leith (The Haunted Wood), and Annie Ernaux (A Woman's Story – WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE).

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  Kindred by Octavia E. Butler tells the story of Dana, a contemporary Black woman who is mysteriously transported to the antebellum South. She finds herself repeatedly traveling between her present and the 19th-century Maryland plantation of her ancestors. Her trips are triggered by her distant ancestor, a white slave owner named Rufus Weylin, whenever his life is in danger. Dana must navigate the brutal realities of slavery while trying to ensure the survival of Rufus, as his existence is crucial to her own family line. The narrative explores themes of power, identity, race, and the lasting impact of slavery through the lens of Dana's experiences. Her journey forces her to confront the violence, dehumanization, and moral compromises inherent in the institution of slavery, as she struggles to retain her sense of self.

  ★★★★ The Stage 
  In 2011 Jacob Dunne threw a single punch that ended another man’s life. Sentenced to prison for manslaughter, he served fourteen months of a custodial sentence. On his release, he found himself homeless, unemployed and struggling to find a sense of purpose. But with the help of others, and with the encouragement of his victim’s parents, he managed to get his life back on track. 
  Right From Wrong follows the course of Jacob’s life, beginning on a council estate in Nottingham. Beset by problems at home and at school, Jacob drifted into drug-related gang culture, drinking heavily and fighting for fun before a fateful night changed the course of his life. Unflinching in its account of Jacob’s guilt and shame, this book will reveal how Jacob used the experience to turn things around. He has been actively involved with Restorative Justice programmes including the Forgiveness Project, has reconciled with those he has hurt, has earned a first-class degree in Criminology and become a husband and father. 
  Jacob’s story is in some ways unique, but it is also reflective of the experiences of young working-class men and boys across the country. By reflecting on his story, he hopes he might help people to avoid the kind of mistakes he made. In the process he points to the societal reforms needed in order to avoid an endless cycle of criminality and hopelessness. 
  Right From Wrong is a deeply humane and honest book, and an unflinching look at men’s mental health and emotions at a time when our awareness of these things is of crucial importance. 
  Jacob Dunne's Right From Wrong is a deeply personal and inspirational autobiography that delves into the societal issues of crime and law. This top-rated memoir is a testament to the power of self-help and societal reform, making it a must-read for those interested in social issues. 
  For fans of Joel Mciver (Fathers, Brothers, and Sons), Chris Ayres (War Reporting For Cowards), Dave Grohl (Beast), Nikki Sixx (The Heroin Diaries), and Mick Wall (Like a Bat Out of Hell).
