**Joint Gold Winner of the Moonbeam Multicultural Non-Fiction Award
2019** This inspirational book tells the stories of more than 50 of
today's teenagers who've dared to change the world they live in.
It's been written to show other teens they can do the same.
Bestselling author Margaret Rooke asks teens about their
experiences of being volunteers, social entrepreneurs and
campaigners, online and beyond. They explain how they have survived
in a world often obsessed by celebrity, social media and
appearance, by refusing to conform to other's expectations. If you
want to achieve against the odds and create genuine impact, this
book may be the encouragement you need. The interviews cover race,
sexuality, violence, grief, neurodiversity, bullying and other
issues central to life today. Read about teens from around the
world including - Trisha, 18, who has invented a way of preventing
bullying online - Dillon, 18, who takes damaged and donated
clothing and upcycles it for the homeless - Guro, 13, who persuaded

'Adversity United' - Alex, 18, who broke his back on his 15th
