Reviews
Crammed with outrageously hilarious wordplay, Lessore's exuberant debut for 12+ is a southeast London celebration of teen awkwardness, creativity and silly joy.The Guardian
Funny, original and heart-warming.The Times
Raw, real, fun and bold; I loved every word. This blazing debut is both laugh-out-loud and intensely moving.Polly Ho-Yen, author of BOY IN THE TOWER
There are funny books, there are comical books, and then there's Steady For This. To say it was a joy is an understatement. Nathanael has created such a glow of happiness by brilliantly combining the awkwardness of teen life with a barrage of hilarious and heartfelt moments. Nathanael is a much needed fresh, funny and authentic voice. A true star in the making. Steady For This would make the most reluctant of readers fall in love with books. Everyone needs MC Growls in their life.J. P. Rose, author of THE HAUNTING OF TYRESE WALKER
