Reviews for English Language and Literature for the IB Diploma
Absolutely stellar read! Just couldn't get enough of it - a real page turner. The wisdom and knowledge within this scripture really allowed me to develop as an IB learner whilst teaching me of the power that words possess. Couldn't recommend it enough and especially liked the Kimchi extract! -- Dr Winston Wells * website *
