Details Condition: New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9780755503810 Publisher: HarperCollins (Red Shed) Age Range: 9-12 years Overview Mission: Total Resilience is a warm, straight-talking children's guide from television adventurer and bestselling author Ant Middleton, designed to help young readers aged 9-12 build genuine self-esteem and bounce back from setbacks. Packed with motivating tasks, mood-boosting physical challenges and inspiring real-life stories, this paperback gives kids practical, fun tools to strengthen their mindset, turn tough moments into opportunities, and discover just how capable they really are. About the Book Life throws curveballs at every age, and Mission: Total Resilience was written to give younger readers the same grounded, no-nonsense approach to overcoming adversity that made Ant Middleton's adult bestsellers so popular. Rather than lecturing, the book invites children to take part in hands-on missions and challenges, gradually building the mental and physical habits that support genuine resilience. Chapters cover setting meaningful goals, celebrating personal strengths, handling failure without losing confidence, and turning setbacks into stepping stones for growth. Ant draws on his own experiences as a former Special Forces soldier and adventurer, translating high-stakes lessons from extreme environments into everyday, age-appropriate advice that resonates with young readers navigating school, friendships and family life. The tone throughout is encouraging rather than preachy, mixing humour with candid honesty so that resilience feels achievable rather than abstract. Interactive activities, checklists and reflective prompts sit alongside the narrative, making the book as much a workbook as a read, ideal for children who like to actively engage with what they're learning. It's a natural fit for fans of confidence-building and growth-mindset titles, and works equally well read independently or shared with a parent, teacher or carer looking
