A collection of real-life stories from people who have improved their lives through better literacy.  Foreword by Scott Quinnell



Some people take the power of words for granted. But for the thousands of people who struggle with poor literacy, words can be scary things. The men and women featured in this book have overcome their fears to improve their reading later in life. Whether they are famous businessmen or sports stars, teenagers in care, middle-aged mums, young soldiers or refugees forced to flee bloodshed in their own home countries, they all share a common desire to learn.



Their stories will inspire others to follow journeys of their own.
