An essential resource for all GCSE English students.
For any student of GCSE English this book is a must. The guidance and exercises are well pitched and tightly focussed on developing the skills, knowledge and practice that are needed to target the top grades. This is very useful. But what makes this book indispensable are the twelve excellent sample answers, each responding to a different topic/question typical of the GCSE exam. These stories not only provide students with models for what a good answer looks like, but also show how different techniques of story writing can be deployed in the demanding setting of a timed piece under exam conditions. I will be recommending this book to my colleagues as well as all my students.

Different from the majority of teaching books, uses plenty of examples and a checklist to gain understanding and practice. Encourages students to write their own and compare to the checklist.
Fun to read and work with.
