The Philosophy Resistance Squad

‘This book is a curious, exciting marvel... an adventure that asks the hard questions and fights the good fight; bold, brave, unusual and really makes you think!’

– Mary Esther Judy, Fallen Stories

‘A dramatic adventure, with an engaging helping of philosophy on the side.’

– Sara Keating, The Irish Times

‘To be able to gift your child a basic grounding in philosophy for less than a tenner is, I have to say in distinctly non-Socratic terms, mindblowing.

– Anne Cunningham, Meath Chronicle
