Poems With Attitude by Polly Peters
Guaranteed to strike a chord with every young person that reads it, this collection includes poems about snogging, drink and drugs, families and friendship. By turns, very funny, thoughtful, heart-poundingly exciting and terribly sad, this is poetry that grabs the reader.
'Poems with Attitude' is bursting with the raw emotion and hormone-fuelled experimentation of youth.. It is rare and welcome to find a collection that speaks so directly to teenagers. * The Guardian, Oct 00 *
A nicely-produced, in-your-face collection printed with a very clean typeface. * The Searchster.com, website, Oct 00 *
Buy this collection and it will be read. Read by staff and teachers to pupils and then read by pupils themselves for both the pleasure and the pain the poems induce. [...] I cannot emphasise how much every school needs this - in the library, in the classroom, for assembly, for tutorials, for PSHE, left on windowsills for pupils to pick up - everywhere! * The School Librarian, Winter 00 *
You won't agree with all of them [the poems], but they'll get you talking! * Is That a Fact? (Scottish Booktrust) *
