This book looks at how students' writing can be improved through a thinking skills agenda. The emphasis is on engaging boys with writing, but the ideas and techniques work equally well with girls and span a wide age and ability range.

"This guide is one of the Pocket PAL series. The way that these guides are written means that they are easy to follow, with each technique discussed being presented on the left hand page and practical applications shown on the facing page." Times Educational Supplement, 14 March 2008
