Description:
Even from the moment she was born, it was clear that Becky Bexley was not like other children. Her family were shocked by her behaviour! Just a few years later, and she's in secondary school, often seeming wiser than her teachers. She does her best to help people, whether they like it or not. She has advice for her teachers when they want to give up smoking, gives a boy advice he uses to stop himself being teased, and even gives the headmaster some advice on improving the school's anti-bullying strategy. She helps people outside school too, including rescuing her mum from a con artist. She even gets to go to the White House, where she ends up giving the president advice about his behaviour! He invites her to help some politicians with the depression they have. But will a few tactless remarks she makes and their own fierce disagreements unwittingly stirred up by some of the insights she tries to pass on ruin her efforts? Becky's advice is based on genuine therapy techniques and psychological research, and the books in this series combine humour with handy information.
