RECENT REVIEWS

  • Ross is a leader in the field of mindsets.
    Katy Cupsworth is a must read for children aged 8-11…..and their parents.

    David Fann

  • Over the years, I have been increasingly aware of the impact Ross has made in the learning and development of children and young adults. His latest book is an engaging story that also gives crucial strategies, toolkits and simple tips to enable children, parents and coaches to achieve both ‘mind fitness’ in football, and in life.

    Mark Lawrenson

    BBC Sports Analyst, former Liverpool FC and Republic of Ireland Football Player

  • As a child with a heavy involvement in drama, I found the CUPPA books really useful – especially as I loved challenging my dad! I have even put some tips into practice and really enjoyed making Cara The Completer!

    Cara Severns-Jones (Age 13)

    Moreland Independent School, Clitheroe, Lancashire, UK.

  • Wow - a book with a difference. I really enjoyed doing all the activities

    Ali Khan

  • The Amazing Journey of CUPPA, is like a torch in a tunnel that may feel endless, but life has tunnels and we must get through them because that very life is too valuable.

    Alvin Law

    Global Motivational Speaker

  • I thought the book overall was very good and extremely well written, the characters were all very well described which helped you understand the situations they were all in and how it made them feel.

    Genevieve Harkness (Age 11)

    Ridgewood School, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK

  • At first, I thought why am I reading a book fit for a child, but as I continued, I understood. I found that the life lessons in Katy’s journey were very relevant to me and so many other people that I know, including my two children. Brilliant piece of work with amazing strategies and tips for both children and adults who want to know more about improving performance and mental health in life.

    Sandy Tomlinson

    School Business Management & Finance Consultant – Southend On Sea

  • We just love Katy. It hits all the right emotional learning objectives, and is especially relevant with the virus pandemic being so prevalent. It is the perfect book for schools to use that will enable children to flourish in challenging times.

    Julie Cole

    Primary Headteacher – Preston

  • Self-esteem is a double-edged sword, and the research literature suggests we’re wise to handle the concept with care: perhaps counterintuitively, high levels of “self-esteem” can be associated with deeply undesirable outcomes, relating to a false sense of immunity from consequences. But when a deep sense of self-worth is associated with a love of learning, resilience in the face of failure and a seeking out of challenges, we see happier results in individuals’ personal lives and educational achievements. The underlying message in many of the CUPPA stories speaks to the latter understanding, and blessedly so!

    Barry J Hymer

    Professor of Psychology in Education, University of Cumbria in Lancaster.

  • My favourite characters in the CUPPA stories were the McTwins as they were a bit naughty and cheeky! I really liked making the choices in each of the missions because it made me think about the consequences before I decided.

    Caleb Briggs

    Age 10

  • CUPPA looks funny and exciting and my favourite is Mrs Competition as she is very funny and pretty. I marked CUPPA 5 out of 5 as I have good confidence but it helped me to learn more.
