Trying to Make the World a Better Place by Diana Holbourn

Thank you @litpr and @Diana-Holbourn-Author for letting me be part of this tour. Trying to Make the World a Better Place is book 1 in the series that is for young adults. I liked the character Becky a lot she seems an awesome person who just wants to help other people that are going through stuff like bullying, addictions and life. The story is written well and is very informative on topics that are running through the book. Trying to Make the world a better place will be a great read for young teenagers that are going through bullying and to stand up for themselves. A great read that is very easy to get into from the first page. Very inspirational read 5 stars. Can't wait for book 2. Blurb Even from the moment she was born, it was clear that Becky Bexley was not like other children. Her family were shocked by her behaviour! Just a few years later, and she's in secondary school, often seeming wiser than her teachers. She does her best to help people, whether they like it or not. She has advice for her teachers when they want to give up smoking, gives a boy advice he uses to stop himself being teased, and even gives the headmaster some advice on improving the school’s anti-bullying strategy. She helps people outside school too, including rescuing her mum from a con artist, and she even gets to go to the White House, where she ends up giving the president advice about his behaviour! He invites her to help some politicians with the depression they have. But will a few tactless remarks she makes and their own fierce disagreements unwittingly stirred up by some of the insights she tries to pass on ruin her efforts? Becky's advice is based on genuine therapy techniques and psychological research, and the books in this series combine humour with handy information. Bio Diana Holbourn has written self-help articles and is the author of The Early Life of Becky Bexley the Child Genius and other books about the same character. Taking short psychology courses, working on a helpline and reading psychology books has prepared her for writing the self-help information that appears as part of the story in the Becky Bexley series. Diana lives and works on the south coast of England, where the sun shines ... sometimes.
