The Philosophy Resistance Squad by Robert Grant

An exciting philosophical romp about a wicked headmaster being taken on by a group of kids who have learned the power of critical thinking.

'This book is a curious, exciting marvel.. An adventure that asks the hard questions and fights the good fight; bold, brave, unusual and really makes you think!' – Mary Esther Judy, Fallen Star Stories

-- Mary Esther Judy * Fallen Star Stories *

'To be able to gift your child a basic grounding in philosophy for less than a tenner is, I have to say in distinctly non-Socratic terms, mindblowing.'

-- Anne Cunningham * Meath Chronicle *

'A dramatic adventure, with an engaging side of philosophy on the side.'

-- Sara Keating * The Irish Times *

"Keeps a brisk pace."

* The New York Times *

'A thought provoking read that encourages the reader to use their mind critically and creatively'.

-- Catherine Power * The Munster Express *

'I’ve recently been watching The Good Place with my kids, and I gotta say that there is probably not a better vehicle for philosophical contemplation than that show … until now? ... Think Sophie’s World but more fun.'

* School Library Journal *

"A fantastic middle-grade read."

* NetGalley *

”The Philosophy Resistance Squad by Robert Grant is highly recommended by Neel (age 10)."
