Recensioner i media

As someone who struggled with a stutter through childhood, I had an instant connection with this book. I could hugely relate to Harry's mindset, the frustrations he went through and the emotions that he felt. Feeling trapped and lonely can lead to someone who stutters becoming extremely isolated but this book will help people who stutter realise that they are not alone and that there are techniques out there to give them hope, help reduce the fear and gain control of the stutter. This informative read will also help increase an understanding and awareness of stuttering.
