Format:Paperback
A great book, written with insight, about a problem common to many people. I'm sure readers will find this book touches a nerve somewhere, makes you smile, cry and positively cheer as the story unfolds. The charactor is someone children will identify with and the events in her life are common to many, giving the children chance to see what someone else has done in similar situations. Sensitively written, positively dealt with, not afraid to tackle difficult subjects and above all a very good read.

A really good read. The story has a strong plot and sub-plot taking the reader through Sam's emotional extremes inside and outside of her school life. A clever plot twist involving Nathan and unexpected involvement of Nick result in a positive outcome for Sam. Highly Recommended.

This is a lovely story of innocence with a painful touch of bullying. It is a pleasant read.
New Beginnings is a story telling of the blossoming of a young girl not yet in her teens. How she overcomes the school bully and faces her own insecurities has been portrayed well by author Rebecca Emin. The story is a great way of getting across to youngsters how do deal with being bullied without a lecture.
