Trying to Make the World a Better Place is the first book in the Becky Bexley, the child genius series from author Diana Holbourn.

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?

Trying to Make the World a Better Place is a wonderful and inviting start to Becky Bexley series. What’s great about this book is Becky’s advice is based on genuine therapy techniques and psychological research.

It’s such a positive read which will have wide appeal to the kids who read it as it’s relatable, funny but also teached them many helpful techinques.
