Get Ahead With Citizenship sets out to examine racist attitudes in the form of fiction and promote spiritual, moral, social and cultural development through discussion. Incidents in the story are based on real experiences that the author has had as a teacher in a multi-cultural school. A direct style is used which has quite a fast pace to hold children's attention. The story raises issues and ideas which can be discussed and reflected upon in the classroom. Ideas for discussion are listed at the end of each chapter.

Get Ahead With Citizenship will help pupils to develop confidence and responsibility, prepare them to play

an active role as citizens, develop good social relationships and respect the differences between people.
