Blog Tour - You Can Change The World by Margaret Rook



You Can Change the World!: Everyday Teen Heroes Making a Difference Everywhere



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 a pop band to portray women differently in its video
- 'Happy D', 19, who learned to read at 14 and found ways to build his confidence
- Heraa, 19, who fights Islamophobia online
.

- Ruben, 18, bullied because of Down's Syndrome, now a successful actor
- Lucy who, at 14, walked into Tesco head office and persuaded them not to sell eggs from caged hens.
- Cameron, 17, who has cerebral palsy and was side-lined by soccer teams who set up his own team 'Adversity United'
- Alex, 18, who broke his back on his 15th birthday and says his injury has taught him to care for others
- Amika, 18, who fights 'Period Poverty'

- Jesse, 15, who's seven feet tall and embraces his stature
- Billy, 18, who wore full make up every day at high school



A fantastic book that captures the work of young changemakers. Powerful and inspiring, a catalogue of real role models. It will make you want to chase your passion. After all what better cause is there?

'You Can Rule The World ' is a truly inspirational book that should be shown to every teenager regardless of age, colour, ethnicity or ability or country of origin.

The book contains a number of real accounts of teenagers lives who have achieved great things and, for many of them, have changed the world around them.

I particularly was impressed by Lucy and Happy D, who both had very different backgrounds. Lucy, at the age of 14, took on Tesco's and lobbied for them to stop selling eggs from caged hens - a huge task which changed the dairy industry for ever. Happy D's story was very different and learnt to read at the age of 14, ignoring the opinions of his peers and learnt to read, which opened up a world of possibilities for him.

The book is very well written and each story is told compassionately and engages the reader. I enjoyed learning about each child and found their stories inspirational and heartwarming. It really shows that anybody is capable of achieving what they strive to with hard work and determination.

This is a great book to give to a teenager with low confidence or who is currently overcoming difficulties. It would also be a great addition to a school or college library and highlighted to the students.

Thank you to Random Things Blog Tours and Jessica Kingsley Publishers for a copy of the book and for an invite to join in the blog tour in return for an honest review.
