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, she's in secondary school, often seeming wiser than her teachers. She does her best to help people, whether they like it or not. Thankfully, they often do. 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, and 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 and White House staff with depression. They're impressed with the amount of information she passes on to them at such a young age and its helpfulness, and she leads them in a bit of group therapy. The talk she gives goes well . . . most of the time. There are just one or two unfortunate incidents.


Becky's advice is based on genuine therapy techniques and psychological research, and the books in this series combine humour with handy information.
