Synopsis

'An important and timely book. These are voices that need to be heard.' Anthony Horowitz Today's teenagers are growing up in a world of widening social inequality, political apathy and economic uncertainty. They join gangs, are obese, have underage sex, watch porn, drink and are a menace to society. But they are also curious, kind, creative and worried about the future. Chloe Combi has travelled around the UK, talking with teenagers from all kinds of backgrounds about their lives, their fears and their dreams. Told in their voices, Generation Z is a shocking, enlightening and funny portrait of how it feels to be young and what it takes to survive and thrive on the journey to adulthood.

Media Reviews
Every politician seeking election next month should read this book. I think it taught me as much about our country as anything I have ever read * Evening Standard *
An important and timely book. These are voices that need to be heard. -- Anthony Horowitz
The book gives educators much to consider . . . The greatest value of GENERATION Z is a reminder of all that we love about our students - their humanity, their kindness, their moments of strength, their insights. It's easy to see the echoes of students in our own classrooms; beyond the disrupters, preeners and attention-seekers, there are human beings going through tremendous changes. I found it a refreshing, confronting and heartfelt reminder of why I came into the classroom. * Times Educational Supplement *
An important and deeply revealing book showcasing what it is really like to be a teenager in the twenty-first century. -- Boris Johnson
Thrillingly candid interviews with `Generation Z' display all their fixations, their humour, and the frightening power of technology in their pockets. * Newsweek *
